OK, was filling up with diesel (sorry, I know! ) last night on way home from work, and this black MR2 Mk2 pulls in with some tasty rims...being the anorak I look along the side and spot those 5 letters - TURBO !!!

Anyway, guy gets out looking like a cross between Minty off Eastenders (only shorter) and a Maori (their facial tattoos...wouldn't want to be him on a visit to New Zealand! ). Anyway, finish filling up, and wander over to talk to the chap...

...he turns out to sound like a chav, know little about his car (was on a K-plate, asked if it was a series-1 or -2, he looked very blank), and when he said 'I've got plans for it', I asked what, expecting 'boost controller, coilovers...' but got 'you know - skirts, fins, that sorta stuff!'


FINS?!?!?!?!?

Give me that effing car and go and get a Nova, you pointless waste-of-space!!!

I'd have had to have run him over. For the good of the species.

He was probably confused, cause they are known as "revisions" in MR2 circles....
