uh-oh too late!

Mr T is going very well thank you! I still love it, and reckon its the performance bargain of the century.

"Don't gimme no back talk, sucka!"

Now my foots got a bit lighter, it seems to be supping fuel a fair bit slower - getting 220 to a tank now (whoop de doo!)

The only problem with it is that the 'small' oil leak, which I got sorted when i first bought it, is back No idea where its coming from, so its off to the garage again!

Oh yeah, that and It really needs a wash and a cut and polish, but the weathers too bad....hopefully get done before the jap meet though!

You coming Pwiggy old bean?

I was hoping I might get a spin in the Skyline, and I'm intrigued as to how Gaz's goes!

I might be buying a slightly modified MR2T around July time.

Then again, might not be, but still.

Glad all is well... I think my leaky gearbox is back too.

Ah, the joys of sports car ownership.

(I know its a proper sports car, cause the wipers flap around uselessly over 55 mph)

Mine have little spoilers on them to keep them stuck to the windscreen... Good for in the region of 80mph, usless above it. Splendid!

Dunno about the tank size, but it works out about 22mpg.

Except the ones actually intended for the Jap market. My car doesn't have one as it is* limited to 112mph, so not required.

Date not set yet, likely to be early March.


Well, yes then. If I'm not either in the far east, the USA or the Nurbergring.
