.... which i have enjoyed but kept wondering why..... the first sunny day day since having this mr (my 11th). a good blat round the back roads on way home from work and all come flooding back 
Didn't even have the CD player on either, just the exhaust and turbo making music.

.. i quite often don;t have the music on in the mr . i can;t at the mo even thought the sun is out..grrr hose from hell burst Hoping to get it all fixed in the next or so.. Took a couple of pictures too to update my garage later. Although discovered a leak in the rear quarter passenger window, suspension and steering still need sorting out a bit... Cant wait for some real summer weather now though. Had the roof out aswell, just a bit chilly round your ears still when youre not in the sun!>>> http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/garage.php ... e&CID=2727- well you havent had four of any other car - so you must love them! - i just adore these cars. You cant really quantify it - everyones got there own loves - but im glad ive realised what mine is.'ultimate' spec - a Rev 3 turbo.. i did not want another m2.. but there bust have been a reason i have had 10 of them.. not now on 11.(cough)yellow(cough).Blue_5 wrote:Ahem.
Actually, i really like the colour, the yellows are one of the lesser seen colours so its nice to have something slightly different.
I do love black ones, but i swore i'd never have a black car again, feels like you only have to look at it and its scratched!
. ill try never to have a black car again.. No sticking calipers, no water or oil leaks or anything like that. You can pick up rev1 or 2's for under £2k, mint rev 3's for under £4k(which are quite often more expensive) £4k sitting around burning a hole in my pocket and I wanted to get the fastest, most reliable, best looking car I could for my money, I don't believe anything else exists. £10k to buy a car, I wouldn't spend it on the best, youngest, lowest mileage tubby in all honesty. The strong point of the tubby is the cheaper end of the market cars available.matt_mr2t wrote:

In terms of bang for your bucks nothing can come near it.
It was probably the car but just about EVERY single mechanical part was replaced over four years with only the passenger side windows regulator being original. 4....yes, FOUR engine rebuilds as it simply wouldn' work with an eventual cost of 11k. I simply wanted the car to work so I stupidly stuck with it. I would think twice before buying a new one but then again, maybe I was simply unlucky in a big way

..£10k in used notes, and instructed me to spend it on a car, id be in the classifieds hunting down a R33 GTR, or a Chimera, depending on my mood 'mint' Mk2 i could find (say, a Rev 5 NA) for about 2-3 grand, and throw the rest Paul Woods way for something very wild. Gives you some privacy over a full open top.+ these old cars have no driver aids un-like these pansy boy modern cars
