    It looks a lot better in real life but I would say that. You get the idea. The interior looks a lot darker IRL, and cleaner and newer. I think the flash is just lighting up the fuzziness.

    Looks niiice.

    <off topic somewhat>
    I always wondered this, for you guys in the uk, is the clutch on the left or the right? Feel weird to use my right foot to push in a clutch, and then, the keyes on the right next to the door, thatd be wierd too. :p

    EDIT: 91MPH in THIRD GEAR!! LOL I go to about 35-40 in 3rd. in my jeep :p

    /me hugs UK.

    The one thing you americans will have to negociate in the future is round-abouts. Apparently more and more US road networks are being designed with them in but we've had them for donkeys years.

    OnT: that's a nice MR2. Nice driving position too. EDIT: Ooo jap import.

    Does this put you off: "needs engine work"? Unless you know what you are doing then steer well clear.

    ok well i forgot to add the part that i emailed the guy about what the engine needs done to it

    anyways

    aight well my new coworker who started working today his dad owns a car shop and so he knows quite abit about cars, and he has some crappy pos ford festiva or somethin but he swapped an mr2 engine in it and its loud as ****

    he also said hed look at my car

    i was telling him about the mr2 that i linked and he told me he knows a bunch of people selling mr2s for less than that

    theres one thats about 25 miles from me (as opposed to the 260 miles) and its red i think but ya its got around the same milage he thinks, and its the turbo one but its an after market turbo so its faster and it doesnt need any engine work. and most of all its only 1000 for him atleast, but he said he can hook me up so i can get it for 1000, im gonna check it out sometime

    GOD I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!! its also 1992

    Very nice MR. 2 you got there. All you need is the TRD Turbo motor swap and you've got a potent street machine.


    BTW, I ma very jealous of you right now. I wish I was in the UK and I had that car :(

    The Dodge Ram SRT-10. Very sick Truck. If I had lots of money for gas that would be the truck I'd get.
