It's time to replace my front tyres (standard 195/55/15s), but I'm finding choosing some a bit tricky (certainly more choice than for my rears!). I'm looking here on Event Tyres , and would be interested in your recommendations. (note I can't get the site to filter by speed rating, so you'll need to...

I think I've seen her before too (around Kettering), then asked on here but no response unfortunately!

Heh glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem today.

Must remember to leave the handbrake off tonight!

Spotted a blue Mk2 turbo in the car park of the SATRA building in Kettering. I parked my blue n/a next to you to give you a surprise when you came back to your '2

Saw a red and silver '2 in the petrol station of Kettering Tesco (just off the A14) on Sunday.

Was in the missus' Micra so you wouldn't have spotted me back

Hurrah, dead chuffed to be October!

All in one evening! Noted the first few digits of the reg numbers:

Yellow Mk2 NA (Rev3?) by railway bridge in Kettering - M11 ???

Black debadged Mk2 on A508 heading towards Brixworth - K66 ???

Black Mk2 in Brampton Halt car park - M159 ???

...anyone from here?

Sorted me out with a new motorised aerial unit, was top notch service.

I've dealt with the Hi-Q in Kettering and wasn't left with a particularly good impression. I'd ordered some tyres from mytyres, and Hi-Q were really stroppy about fitting them (didn't like the fact I didn't buy the tyres from them). They also never called me to let me know when the tyres arrived, de...

Could have been me matey, mines a T-bar in Carib blue (has veilside skirts and a TOMS spoiler) ohww and I perhaps saw you last night heading up towards sainsburys on Bants lane 7:20ish :mrgreen: ? I'm mostly around Kettering these days, so it wouldn't have been me the other day, but if you've had a...

Blimey everyone's coming out the woodwork now! I'm from Kingsthorpe, Northampton too (although living nearby in Kettering now). There do seem to be a fair few MR2s around this area (not everyone waves though [-X) I drive a rev3 G-Ltd (MKZ 6***) and have spotted a guy locally a couple of times with a...

Heh happened to me once, felt like a right numpty especially when cars starting queuing up behind me. Red-faced I drove home (just round the corner) to try and sort it with my toolkit, but the flippin thing came off easily by hand then anyway!

Makes me paranoid each time I stop to fill up!

Really feel for you mate. Got a whole load of deja vu reading that as exactly the same thing happened to me last year (owned the '2 for a month or so, then spun and crashed into barriers on a roundabout over the A14). My damage didn't look as bad as yours but it was still a write-off. Still, I'm up ...

Spotted an identical looking Mk2 to mine (Carribean Blue) today near Tesco in Kettering (just off the A14).

I gave a wave and whoever was in the passenger seat gave a knowing nod

Whilst I'm on the subject - I often seem to spot a red Mk2 Rev2 in the Tesco car park.

Take a look around http://www.mr2-tech.com/bgb.htm and you should find it in there somewhere

There's a couple of links on this post:

When I bought my '2 it came with a rather naff-looking aerial. A previous owner must have broken the standard electric one. Does anyone know where I could source a standard motorised one and whether they're fairly straightforward to fit? It's a Mk2 Rev3 so it'll be the boot-mounted one I'm after. Th...

mytyres (www.mytyres.co.uk) are generally pretty good price-wise.

Heh when I reverse up my drive on a very cold morning it's like I'm coming through the doors on Stars In Your Eyes

huzzah, you've got a pic of me and ChrisW preparing for our first outing (the suspiciously fast "sighting lap")!:
