Hello everyone!
I've just paid up as a new member so I thought I'd better introduce myself. I'm new to this forum and new to MR2's.
I've had my heart set on a cheap (<£1k) sporty car for a while now. I come from a family which is pretty keen on Toyota's (my other car is a 98 3dr Corolla, I've had an 02 'rolla SR before and my parents have had an Avensis and a Land Cruiser), so the obvious choice was an MR2. I couldn't choose between a Mk2 or a Mk1 until I test drove both and it suddenly became a no-brainer!
I'm not really interested in showing my car or racing. What I am interested in is learning some basic car mechanics and tuning and owning a car I can get out in at the weekend and blow off some steam in, be it on a track or on-road (don't worry, I'm not a mentalist!). This car meets both of those requirements; cheap (so I won't be distraught if I ruin it), T-bar and plenty of room for improvement.
So that's me and my car. If you recognise it, either from eBay, as a previous owner or if you've just seen it around let me know. I would also love to hear from any members in the Ox/Bucks area. I'm very open to technical advice and my main reason for joining this forum is to learn more about these fantastic little cars. Here's a photo of my new (to me!) MR2:
