Default Had to finally sell my MR2, so I bought ....

...its another jap;



totally standard, turbo 2000 AWD, 90K T-reg.

Not quite sunk in. Tuesday all was fine and more than happy with my mr2.
Tuesday afternoon it fails its MOT spectactularly (i did take it to a Toyota dealer) and they couldnt even quote me for the cost of all the welding work needed!!
Put it on autotrader wednesday night and sold it tonight.
Saw the scoob on ebay of all places last night and turned out to be at a car sales garage 2mins up the road, Bought it today and pick it up tomorrow!!
I dont hang about!!

nice one; assuming the mr2 was non turbo; you'll think the scooby is the quickest thing in the world

Grant- cool, didnt know you had one! yes, full history and cambelt done 10k miles ago at 80k.

kidsRS-definately, when i make my mind up i have to have it there and then!!

LHD220turbo-yeh, the 2 was non-turbo so itll certainly feel quicker, but ive got an M3 driving day booked soon so ill want one of them next!!

Had i not found the scoob, i was going to go see a 323 coupe tomorrow actually.

Hey how you doing? You will like the way the scooby drives. I had a UK turbo 2000 a few years ago and loved the way it went and handled.

Agreed though, you will want the M3 when you have driven that, looking to change mine for an E92 M3 now.

and another nob head tagger strikes again for fucks sake.

they are not shite,they are good value performance bargains and i love them and owned one last year along side my evo and escort cos. i probably owned a german car too aswell oh and me v8 jag too so i'm well qualified to know whats shite.

ellie i know craig brett and he's a dodgy fooker sorry



































































lol just joking. did you buy it off bill craig or martin ??????????????

my mate does bodywork for him and he hasn't done that one so it must be a good un.
if its a std uk car they are the best as they run supermarket unleaded ok (cheaper to run) and do more miles per gallon than say the RA's that i have had that can easily go into say single figures mpg when hard used.

cheeRS Karl

ps it was in the chester standard too,not that anyone other than me looks in the cars for sale there.

Whoa hang on!! Hope that was a joke because im not that irresponsible!
I sold it as spares or repair and told him everything that needs doing, gave him the MOT failure doc's and visual safety report etc
I wouldnt have let it go to someone if they didnt fully understand what it was going to involve and the guy owns a garage and can do the work himself.

Ha, 2k is nothing I suppose considering this is a Ford forum!!

Cozz-fookin shit it then when you said he's a dodgy fucker!! It was his dad that was there yesterday. And yeah, its a standard uk car mate. Glad theres been no bodywork done!!! Ive heard of the guy who sold it last time too, he only deals with imprezas and is a mate of a work collegue so sounds like its a nice un-dodgy car.
I didnt see it in the paper ( i look in it occasionally when im really bored!!) 2mins up the road is the last place i expected to find what i wanted, especially out here in the sticks!!!!

Fezzy-oh my god!!!

Nice car, and well done on going Jap again, you know it makes sense

By the way that will be quicker than a 323 and also(as said above) alot easier to gain more power from(if needed)
