Well, I picked the MR2 because they aren't a common site on UK roads...especially the turbo.
I also wanted something that was light, and I could get huge power from it.
I considered 4wd, but decided on RWD as it's definately the coolest thing on the roads. And most RWD cars now are front engined, which was something I didn't want as I wanted a lightweight power machine. So engine in the back then. That left me with a 911 turbo or an MR2 turbo, and Porsche's don't make good showcars! Plus I do like 2 seaters [img]tongue.gif[/img]
There aren't too many MR2 turbo's in the country, so it was an obvious choice.
So it arrived on UK soil from Japan in a metallic green kinda colour.
And Robert, the engine could take NOS now. All the internals have been uprated (racing crankshaft and bearings, high lift cams, lightened conrods, forged pistons etc), but I just dont have the £600 needed to get it fitted. Plus it's quick enough at the moment!
