the new daily driver to replace the MR2 a 2002 VX220 2.2, great car



I was tempted to see what it was like on track so did half a day at Abingdon in it, very good but ultimately compared to the Eunos on track its too slow, perfect balance for the road though. Only mods to the VX are a set of team dynamics TD1.2's in the Exige size / spec and the appropriate Lotus ABS ECU to take into account the different sized front wheels and a Tullet manifold.

and the practical car a 2001 VW Passat V6 4motion, good for dog transport

260bhp?!

I like the MR2. If I didn't need room for the dog I'd definately have one as the daily drive, always loved them.

[JamesK]

Wow - you just made MX5's cool in my eyes for the first time

I reckon I'd even fit in one with racing seats too! Well played.

Very nice, always wanted an MX-5 turbo, or the Mazdaspeed supercharged MX-5

[jaik]

Awesome MX-5 Have you considering putting stickier tyres on there to improve the traction since it's a weekend toy?

[PhantomHumper]

[Sim89]

Weird, my hosting companys closed down and so I re-hosted the pics elsewhere (hence the update), I'm at work now on a different PC and can see them ok.

They are working fine now, nice cars

Very kind of you

Just logged on a different PC and I can't either now Right click and properties on the red crosses gives the url and its correct, but it says site unavailable. I moved them to the yahoo geosites space I got with my broadband account and it says not to link to them out of the yahoo network, but it appears to work some, but not all the time
