Definitely white, for that 80s retro look!

Re: has anyone used a bike rack on their 2

Just make sure that it doesn't rub away at the paintwork when you turn corners... they have a tendency to rock slightly, and the sponge pads can be abrasive once they get a bit dirty.

Re: Insurance Tale

Out of interest, what do club members want from a club insurer? I'll start with the obvious: Low premiums How about: Flexibility with modifications Option to drive other cars (yes I know this is common with fully comp, but I am a 22-yr old with TPFT insurance that lets me do this... it's a godsend!...

Re: Wiper blade chooses, a tad dispointed...

Try your local Toyota place. I was quoted £5 + VAT for a blade, and they'll be able to sort out the correct toyota fittings as well.

Re: MKI as a daily

I've used mine for a 60-mile round trip to work all summer. It hasn't missed a beat, and I have to say is a darn sight more fun - and, believe it or not, comfortable - than the 10 years newer clio I had before.

Red mk1, Thanet Way near Herne Bay

I passed you on the roundabout between Greenhill and Herne Bay at about 6.30pm. You wouldn't have seen me, I was in a big orange van with "Sainsbury's" written on the side! :oops:

Help! Wiper issues...

Was driving along in the pouring rain just now, and my passenger wiper decided it didn't want to be atached to the car anymore! I couldn't recover it as I was on a dual carriageway, so I'm not sure how much of the arm I've lost. Here's a couple of pics of what I have left: [IMG] http://i429.photobuc...

Re: Mr2 Super Edition, SC white over gold for sale , i'm nothing to do with it!

Surely if you want that much money for a car you'd take some decent pictures. They're all dull and slightly blurry. It makes that gold paint look like the underside of the car is dirty, especially the shot of the rear of the car!

Re: Bonnet Badge

They seem to be quite hard to get hold of. Try posting on the wanted section, there may be someone breaking a mk1. Try scrappies as well.
Failing that:
