Sad crooz munters will be on it more, but birds like blokes, not what gay car they got, even the sad crooz munters would only go for the goon in the nice car if they cant get anyone decent, regardless of car.

Birds might prefer one car to anyother, but unless you got FUCK ALL going for you a bird aint gonna pick you over the next goon just cause they like your car a bit more

Yea get all the laydeez without saying a word, even if looked like sloth of the goones, im gonna go drive my car round a pub or a nightclub and slay em all, glad the place has wide doors and wheelchair access

FFS what world do people live in

Anyhow Keith is gay, so its all irrelivant
Tis all true

MR2 turbos are fast cars, but should be bought for the performance, no other reason, as those reasons dont exist
Yeah! YEAH!

However, you can buy an MR2 for the looks, as it isn't a bad looking car - awaits criticism from the people driving Mk4 Escorts and Sapphires

Cosworths are the car you buy for performance alone - these MR2 actually handle quite nicely too!

What does look good however, is what I did last night, when you are in the passenger seat, and a fit blonde is driving your MR2 -THEN you can get away with it no problems

Well, here's my old one



After 7 years of driving an 18 year old escort, the change in the way ladys were looking at the car, and even me as I'm one ugly mo-fo, was astounding

That combined with the driving position and the fact you could remove the roof made it an excellent car!

I can hopelessly confirm that Done right, they'll get you from A to B quicker than a lot of things, but bends+wet=small-but-effective-heart-attack

I've still got a bit of a soft spot for them though, despite the fuel consumption and slightly suspect handling.

(Edit : oops Thought that said Mk3)

sorry, I have been in a few VR6 mk 2's, and theyhave aall been understeery and slow, the vr6 engine is wank imho, cracking bottom end then a 12 valve head, and crap power for a 2.8 A much better conversion is the 1.8 turbo 20v engine, from a skoda octavia or new golf etc, much better fit, much better power and much better handling

Spot diddly on I reckon.

Matey of mine regulary tests cars for Aston. You get loads of attention in a car like that, girls waving and blowing kisses at you, lots of sexual hints if they talk to you...

But I can assure you that if you are as ugly as me even £180K wont buy you casual sex.

Dodgy as dodgy can be.

And yes, i recognise that place as Keileigh

Most of their cars are dodgy as fuck or just plain old sheds.

BUT they do get cool cars in from Japan, so if your lucky and they not got a shed, its happy days.

That Toyota Crown is cool as IMO, jus as it so different.
