Red Tubby - dartford

Post by Bumble-bee »

Hi guys.... Earlier today, well half hour ago 21:30 I was dropping oil off to my brother at darenth valley hospital (owns a tt so typical audi) on my travels I got to the roundabout near the on the run garage and new drive through mc Donald's and there it was! Had to get past some stupid taxi to get behind the fellow Mr2 who flashed me with his fogs and then we tore up the road to the hospital where he went off, that's all the info I got but hope they are on here! They are legends! Only other mr2's I've seen down even flap their headlights let alone rip up some road!

Yes!! I came on here looking to see if you asked but thought it was a bit early being that is happened like 30 minutes ago :')

Didn't know if you could see that it was another mr2 and I had to get past that taxi somehow! :P

Well what's the point in having a tubby if you can't tear it it ;) yours sounded nice name what exhaust is on it? - wondered if you were going to pull away or not ;)

Thanks man she needs a lot of work yet, mechanically she's fine but cosmetics - fog light cable tided on, faded yellow paint and could of war wounds but I'll get her sorted :)

Yeah it took me a while to get home as I was dropping the girlfriend home and I live in Romford!

I didn't actually see you until you were right behind me :mrgreen:

I didn't see the point in pulling away, much better in convoy 8) The exhaust is a early Kakimoto racing exhaust, pretty rare :thumleft:

Good luck with getting it fixed up. It looked clean enough but the dark is very kind to our cars :mrgreen:

Are you going to any localish meets in the future? Always wanted an mr2 buddy to tag along with. I'll be going to this which you need to put your name down for if you want to come along, always a good meet but need to finish work early or take day off:

There's also this if you want to come along:

That is if you're actually local!

That's alrogjt man thought you had a passenger! Well you're just over the bridge, im in Swanley, do you use the car as your daily? I haven't seen it before well I've only seen one silver non turbo around and his no fun!

Ahhh I like that! Unique sound! I want a duel exit on mine - might as well keep with the mongoose it came with - too quiet though

Yeah she's a bit dirty but getting a little wax tonight :)

Ahh see Id love to man! I'm going to a few little meets like and bluey - one tonight - haven't really been to a big one yet! I'm only 19 😂

Danjama - are you on the A2 stuck in traffic to get to the dartford crossing? Just went past a red tubby stuck in a massive que.... If it's you good luck 😝 I don't know if you saw me in the fast lane
