HELL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who were unable to make it, the title of the thread is absolutely NOT an overstatement. It was actually funny adn quite unbelievable tot he point that nearly the whole car park was MR2s. just when you thought there were quite a few parked up, another group of ten would arrive, then another five, then another 10. Incredible and you had to rub your eyes to believe the sight wasnt you imagination.

Quote of the day?

"F*cks sake, i thought this was a jap meet, it all bloody MR2s!"
(FD RX7 owner)

I felt proud today to be a 2 owner and I think owners of teh other odd marque was slightly embarraseed by the sight of it all. If there was ever an indication of the MR2 gaining mjore presence in the jap tuning community then this evet alone wouldve proved were defintely here, IS THAT CLEAR!!!!! haha

Weather, despite worries was good too, cold but dry and sunny, just what the turbo ordered.. Great to meet a few more IMOCcer, adn some older ones, albeit with new 2s.

only casualty was 'kinda' me. seems by rocker cover gasket has begun to leak, nothing like pullingup to a meet with smoke coming from the engine bay! Woohoo, hardcore!

Lets all here it for the 2!!!!!!!!!

ps. Would like to comment on MR2Babe but her boyfriend knows what i look like so better keep my mouth shut!!!

only casualty was 'kinda' me. seems by rocker cover gasket has begun to leak,

My journey home was 'eventful'. Sitting in line at a roundabout and someone shunted me from the rear cracking my genuine Autopista bumper. NOT happy. Will post pics up tomorrow of the damage. Culprit was a green Renault Laguna that smashed into a 4x4 Kia which in turn shunted in the back of me. Some of you may of see the Renault parked up on the side of the road on the way back to the M25....
Hopefully my bumper is repairable. Insurance will pay for it.

On top of that my overheating problem seems to be returning, heater blowing hot and cold AGAIN! Loosk like it has to be my head gasket...

Other than that, what a great meet at Boxhill. Good to meet most of you in person, i can now put faces to the names!

[Bobby (aka Shaggar)]

Oh that dam avaaaaaaataaaaaarr (in Homer style voice) =D>

Good seeing ya mate. I guess, yes, you do take the prize then for casualty of teh meet unless someone can better this:

Bobby, Leaking rocker gasket. Smoking.
Scoott, Smashed rear bumper. Overheating (headgasket?)get a bonus point for being a fire risk!?

Surely I

Seriously though, sorry to hear that mate. make sure you deffo take it throught the insurance though the buggers. Some dick in a Pulsar GTIR backed onto the front of my car hence the cracked paint on it, so I just took some money for the spray, later turns out the bumper itself is cracked and will need a new one. ar$e! Thanks to another IMOCcer though, possible got this sorteed soon.

think thats the turbo'd one from toyota owners club

looks like it was a great meet

dont recognise half of those 2's but some dam fine machinery there

[GeoffC320]

I can vouch for the crowdedness...turned up around midday and had to park up the road...hence not making it into any of the pics.

Good to see such a strong turnout and some familiar faces, shame about the few d1cks in the 'other' cars that felt they had to blast through an EXTREMELY crowded and tight car park - not too sensible

[addisj]

nightmare sorry to hear that Scott, shame to end a great day with some twit going into the back of you....

Think positive... what bumper are you going to get next?!

[TheImpMan]

It was definately more of a Toyota meet than anything else. The Celicas pulled in a good crowd in the overflow and there were a number of Supras. Other than that, the only real numbers were the MX5's.

[Mark Edwards]

what car is this, came steaming past me on the m25 just after a 360

Looks like a DB9 mate............FODDER!

Gutted i missed the meet, looks like it was a really good day.

[MegatronUK]

Looks like a good meet!

Now this just looks fantabulous:



Anyone know what kit it is? It just blends into the Supra lines so well!

[Mikejc]

A great meet indeed. As ever it was good to see the old and to meet the new guys whilst checking out some great motors

See you all at the next batch of meets

Wicked show! soooo many MR2's ! didnt even get time to look at the supras etc, too buisy lookin at the 2's !! cool convoy up the m25 from croydon too! -Vid was kool BTW, i was hoping to see my car in it, and was well chuffed to see it being the 1st one on the clip! hehe! Sorry to everyone for not cleaning it before i came!

-Oh, my return home was quite eventfull too (ish) i got to clacket lane services with the Empty light starting to come on, on the fuel gague.. then find out the only fuel clacket has is dam 95 ron or diesel!! Arrrrg! so nursed it back to west kingstown to a total garage,, now with the empty light bright as anything! to find they not got more than 95 ron aswell ARRRG! then 5 miles later down the road in mepham i stumbled across a Esso with super unleaded just by chance, put in enough to get to tesco in gillingham (15 mile away) and get some 99 ron and then to halfords for some octane boost!!

DAM shitty UK fuel!! what is the RON for super unleaded? is it ok for tubbys? -and say i had clonkled out at clacket, could i have used 95 ron, to get home??

It's the Trial rear, I've recently bought the Trial demo Supra, it's being deregistered and packaged up in Japan as we speak That's got the full Trial kit, and you're right, it goes really well with the lines of the Supra.

I was at Boxhill too, mine was the lairy green MR2, but I left early. Had a shocker of a cold this week, and being at Boxhill did me no good ! Feel rough as bumholes today

Was a bloomin good turn out for the MR2s tho

[Alex O]

Glad you found your way then Ryan - your car is a damn missile!!!

Have yourself a read of the fuel test in Banzie magazine. You see that Optimax came out way on top, followed by Super then the tesco's 99 cheap cheap stuff!

[Bobby (aka Shaggar)]

Ryan mate,

you'd have been fine in an emrgency like that to put 95ron in,just don't boot it at all. As long as you cruise gently there'll be no dett. Drive like you did (all of us?) on the M25 and your engines not gonna feel good especially in your case mate. Until a remap, that ecu of yours will be mapped for 100ron fuel.

While I'm here, please forgive me but with being hit with so many names I've forgotten who you are. Who were the MR2 Tubby owners I had breakfast with that morning in the café?

Bobby

[RyanRs]

Lol at AlexO lol... you are the 1st Mr2 iv ever had a race with.. trust m8, i was as amazed as you wer! i still not 100% sure on whats under the bonnet!! altho i no for definate it still has the standard Cat fitted! so that will be going in the next couple of weeks! then off to the RR!!

Thanx for the petrol advice bobby, i got a bottle of octane boost now for emergancys.. i used esso super unleaded in the end, then topped up with £15 99ron tesco stuff + octane booster. thing flew after that!! lol!

Ps.. GET THAT DAM BUMPER PAINTED!!! lol
