Hello All!

11 years after selling my first MR2, I have finally given in and bought another!

It is a 1989 G T-Bar. Seems it was owned by the same chap for about 13 years, who sold it to a lady who 'let it go' a bit. 5 years ago it was bought as a non runner and gradually restored by a chap. Now it is with me...

Very happy indeed. Not too much to do - just had the wheels refurbished (but not the two tone - they wanted silly money). Wondering whether to bother upgrading the stereo and replace rear speakers or just live with it, as won't realistically be using the stereo much. Also - definitely having that petrol in cabin smell when engine running. Read about replacing the fuel breather valve vs extending the breather outlet pipe to the rear of the car. Any advice?

Oh I'm in Rochester Kent by the way - might have to make a meet up at some point?

Thanks Chrys. I was trying to post a picture but can't...and search the forums fully - maybe I need to be a full member?!

Yes I think that's the case Dave. It's well worth the £10. There is so much invaluable help and knowledge here..
