Yay! Bet Luke was a bit sad but I'm sure it has a new good home

[LukeQuake]

Sure am

Tis my own fault for wanting something more practical!

It's all good as I'm confident that shes in very good hands.

Practicality? Sounds like the talk of Satan

Either that or a woman





Repent sinner

Don't worry Luke, she's being well cared for

Tucked up in the garage at the moment (dads car had been relegated to the drive!)

Thoroughly enjoyed the 45 mile journey home, done a couple of little jobs on it, now looking at refitting the windscreen trim. Seem to have solved the idle problem too by refilling and bleeding the cooling system. Fitted a new cd player. Gave it a good wash. Also have retro fitted the original air filter and removed the K&N. All seems to be excellent at the moment. Its going up on the ramps next week to have a quick scoot about underneath, mainly so I know where everything is under there!

Got a guy who is going to have a look at the leather seats for me next weekend, and repair the drivers seat stitching (he restores Jaguars and does all his own leather work, very good he is too, and he happens to be one of my old high school teachers!)

I'll get her polished up next weekend too, know a guy who works in a body shop who is going to give me a hand!

As for practicality, the MR2 is my practical car! I don't do many miles though, as I bike to work, so it will really only come out at the weekends
