Well what can I say other than Frank aka Cosmosbluemr2s beautiful example is now sat on my driveway.
As you may be aware old Franky has been suffering with his back pretty badly, and the decision was forced upon him in the last few weeks to begrudgingly sell his pride and joy for health reasons.
After agreeing a price what feels like weeks ago, Patrick from Rogue and I travelled down to Essex to collect ol' Cosmos last night.
Having never met Frank until yesterday I can happily say he is a gentleman and a true perfectionist.
His enthusiasm towards his car and the MR2 scene is pretty amazing.He knew it would be a heart wrench to say goodbye, and it really was.
...So my impression of the car.
What a total gem!
The car is an absolute treat to drive and a tribute to the quality of the aftermarket components
/ modifications / fitting carried out.At speed the car feels happily planted with no wandering or skittishness.
The turbo spools nicely and pulls well.
I'm confident it CAN be a lot quicker with some further cooling modifications, but for now it's fine for me.Aesthetically, it's beautiful.
Again I put that down to a wise choice of relatively subtle exterior modifications that work really well together.My second ever MR2 was a Cosmos Blue rev5 n/a and although you guys rip it sometimes with your homo comments, lol I'm yet to see the mk2 in a nicer colour!
This weekend I'll be fitting the Blitz wheels as seen in the second picture and also upgrading the brakes to Carbotech all round as the current Black Diamond discs
/ Pagid pads set-up with all due respect to Frank, is absolutely pap by comparison.I'm hoping this year to get to plenty of meets providing they don't clash with the MR2 Challenge series so don't be surprised to see T2 IMOC near you fairly soon!

looking forward to seeing it in the flesh in the future, as it looks absoloutely spot on.
