Well I now have two MR2s. This one I used last season in the racing, these are a couple of pics that I liked of it :)

At 75-80 through a hairpin  8-)




It corners like mad on sticky tyres  :y

I will be your bestest friend if you let me have a drive of the older ones..... :D :D :D

The first one is 28 years old!

The older ones (Commer and Bedford) will be coming out in the Summer. You need full C1 manual for the Bedford and Commer (and they have crash gearboxes), and C for the Dennis. Although if unlike me you passed your test before '98 you'll have C1.

There's the very non-standard MR2:



(It's turbocharged, chargecooled, got a standalone ECU, Tein suspension, and as much chassis triangulation as will fit)

Almost followed Mark straight off the circuit at the next corner as he found out that Caterhams don't come with ABS and went in a straight line.. Whoops.

At one point it was sporting white Volk Rays wheels and later model tail lights.. the latter went when someone drove into it while parked - same way it's picked up every single dent  >:(



And there's the Nissan 300ZX twin turbo - sadly broken for .. quite some time.

I don't see any reason why not, although not until the summer. The Bedford and Commer are parked up behind aload of stuff in a warehouse at the minute. We've got to put the rear hubs back on the Commer (full brake overhaul after I burst the brake pipe!), and the Bedford isn't insured at the minute. The Commer is 1952! The mirrors are about the size of vanity mirrors in sun shades!

I personally prefer driving the Dennis TBH, the noise is fantastic, you can hear every piston fire!
