My name is Connor, I am a 22 year old guy from Plymouth and I just wanted to introduce myself.
Soon I shall be a proud MR2 owner so I just thought I would register to these forums, which are very informative, I must say.
At 11am on this coming Wednesday I will be saying farewell to my 2001 Saxo VTR of three years and saying HELLO to a 1996 red MR2 GT Turbo with 67k miles on the clock.
The car seemed to be a good runner and was pretty clean throughout. It has some 18' wolfrace alloys that I think I will change to either standard jobbies or get some nice 5 spokes in white. It also has an aftermarket single can exhaust, and a flip up TV. Other than that it is pretty much standard I think. Unfortunately I couldn't test drive the car myself because my insurance doesn't allow me driving other cars, so the guy who owns it took me out for a spin.
It seemed very fast(coming from a VTR 
) and the sound of the turbo spooling up behind my head was awesome. The only problem that I could find was that the bonnet stand clip was broken so as a temorary fix it was tied to the bonnet catch so as the car is moving it was making an annoying squeeking noise as it moved about, this shouldn't be a problem though, as I guess a new one won't cost much at all.It is going to be quite a change going from a FF car with 98bhp to an MR with
~245bhp, thats for sure! I will take it VERY easy for the first week so that I can get used to the tremendous difference in power and handling that this thing will have.The few days wait before I get this car will be agony! Im so impatient

No pictures I'm afraid, but I will be sure to get some once I get my hands on it
Cheers!
You won't be dissapointed at all.
