Probably not too long ago though as Rowly's MRT was torched about this time last year.

I gave him a lift up to JAE last year and he was hooked on the rotary goodness

It's bloody annoying how some people get to have such fun jobs!

So basically, in the real world, the MR2 is a quicker car. I believe 70mph is the national speed limit...

I'm surprised the merc isn't quicker at lower speeds with all it's low end torque??

But in the real world apart from a traffic light GP you're more likely to already be moving where the Merc would probably win, the MR2 has much better traction off the line though.

Funnily enough I was thinking about this thread the other day - Can't remember where I saw it first.

Good read!

Fantasic narrative!! Damn you should write novels!

Hmm, this has thrown a spanner into my Mk1SC/Mk2T debate... gah!
