Every day, plus WMS test-bed, plus trackdays, plus euro-road trip/nurburgring, plus "delivery van" for brake discs between machine shops etc!

I can get about 40 discs in it, which adds 150-200kg.

It has a hard life. :mrgreen:

Before that it was when I could but very little use really varying things normally mean I don't drive it often enough :-$


Much the same, not driven mine since August 2010 when the turbo bust. Hope to be back on the road this spring where I'll drive it as much as I can afford!

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Still in the garage...

Good luck!! V-Power + 400+bhp = £££'s :mrgreen:

I keep telling myself to stop using boost, but it's just too damn tempting :lol:

Yeah, I think I have a shock coming when I start driving it!

I imagine spending all that money on the 2 then not using boost would be like buying a bear and not teaching it to dance :)

April - September. And only occasionally then when it's dry for the grip. Sometimes wonder if it's a waste of cash haha

Bought my MK2 over 1 year ago & use it everyday.
Was off the road for 2 months last year during that freeze up, but that was because the doors were frozen shut lol

My tubby is a daily driver for the last 10 yrs.

Started getting corrosion issues 2-3 yrs ago. Couldnt decide what to replace it with so kept it so got the rot sorted out and a respray last year.

I see quite a few MR2s in the south, but I think most of those seem to get put away for winter.

I use my car everyday to get to work and back (10 min drive) and take it on random drives as it drives great and I love it.
I have only owned it since mid December last year, :)
