Default Oh dear - I've gone Jap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well people always knew it was bound to happen considering I always harp on about how much I like Jap cars.

Been looking for a Golf GTTDi, but couldn't find a decent one at the right money.

Needed a car, so something came up cheap, so it's mine!

Toyota MR2 Turbo - fookin goes well too. Nice handling car, nippy, looks nice, sounds awesome.

Bye bye cossie

Sorry - was just out ragging the arse off it for a couple of hours

Not hugely fast, but it's got such a crisp turn in. Down to this disused industrial estate roundabout, and round she goes

I'm gonna do a track day with it asap, cos I really want to explore the limits of the handling, although I just know I'm gonna end up using this and not the cossie

If you are feeling a bit flash with the cash and buying new cars, any chance of paying me back the money you have owed me for 2 years ago???

Bet it will be a right giggle the MR2 and properly fast as well

Whatever you do don't take the oil return off the block.......






When you come to put it all back you'll want to die..... I rebuilt one for a m8 last year, and the strip down took 4 days.

The rebuild took 7 days and 4 of them were fighting with that bloody banjo connection!!
