My g Limited is here

Post by mav »

Well after the demise of my Supra I wanted something else

Something RWD
Something fun to drive
Something better on fuel (rules out turbo stuff)
Something cheaper to maintain
Something possibly with a soft top
Something sporty

And here is the replacement

RWD, check
Fun to drive, check
Better on fuel, hmm check
cheaper to maintain, check
Possible soft top, ok the Targa is a good compromise
Sporty, check


So there we are, the new toy, MR2 Import G Limited, "Super Edition" 2.0 N/A

I didnt know what the "super Edition bit was all about when I put the deposit down on it, turns out there were only ever 170 of them ever made so its a rare car, not perfect and in need of a little TLC but thats what its all about. Its a hoot to drive and whilst not as quick as the supra its still pretty damned nippy and handles like its on rails which is a real bonus, cant wait for a session at Castlecombe with it lol.

Collette picked this one and im glad she did, I wasnt 100% sure about having made the right choice but its growing on me very rapidly the more I drive it. Practical? not on your life but hell its fun 8)

Hehe they are 15" splits and really badly need refurbing, but I could be tempted to part with them for some 16 or 17inchers?

Its called "Steel Mist Grey" apparently all 170 super editions are the same colour.

Thanks for the comments people, will see what she looks like when it gets a nice coat of polish tomorrow 8)

Welcome pal. Whats the difference in a super edition?

Re: My g Limited is here

Super Edition has TRD suspension and all the toys as standard along with a unique colour (steel mist grey) there are a few other littel bits but im not 100% sure what they are.
I do know though that only 170 Super Editions were ever made.

It looks quite nice, although don't think the wheels suit the car and looks a bit funny with just sideskirts on. Just my opinion.
