my dad came THIS close to buying one a year or so ago. We went to the hold up on the industrial estate and had the test drives and everything. not a lot of room in the back for me, even then, but so so nice! The one he was going to get was a kind of aqua turquoise thing.
in the end we didn’t get it, ’cos we had to re do the kitchen, fix the conservatory and got a sweet new Tv. but I think dad still wanna get it, then i can have his car ;)

New Celica, quite nice but very square looking for my liking.

This is the MR2 as it looks now...... The Roadster! >:-)

Since I can’t afford a car with a prancing horse in the front I would go for this one instead.... ;-)

This is so cool - I have not visited TDR for a few weeks, but logged on today and this is the first discussion I checked out. I just test drove a car yesterday - loved it but it was a bit too expensive.

Plus, it is a two-seater - would always have to flip a coin to see if I take the boyfriend or the dog.

Vixzter said on March 1, 2004 06:20:

Thats a beast! :-)

Vixzter said on March 1, 2004 18:19:

Cool!

First thing I’ve gotta do to my 2 is get the clear front indicator clusters as they look the business :)

Probably won’t mod it much engine wise as I’ll be crucified on insuarnce :( but give it a few years and I’ll get a turbo version ;)

I can’t wait to get it......6 days and counting ;)

*fingers crossed nothing goes wrong between now and then*

Mods to my little child:

50/50 split bench seat out and put in buckets, possibly buckets with racing 5 point harnasses for seat belts. You ain’t gonna be tossed out of my car if we wreck. The bench is going because I have too many family members who are too tall or too short to ride comfortably, so the buckets go in.

Shifter (auto transmission) off the steering column and onto the floor. Requires a new shifter and a hole in the floor for the effort.

Everything else is pretty much staying the same. In a few years, I might seriously consider taking out the 350 Engine and dropping a 455 in there. I have the room, and a universal transmission case that says I can mount it to just about any engine made by GM / B / O / P (General Motors / Buick / Pontiac / Oldsmobile) Although Olds has gone out of business here in the US.

If yer wondering:

1372 .... 1972 Oldmobile Cutlass F-85 2dr Coupe. (Does anyone know of a car made in 1372? ;-) )

Colour scheme:
Purple exterior (the colour of grape juice)
Black interior
Panasonic Ghost Stereo
And “Mob Bossed” windows... Or “Limo Tinted” windows. All da same to me.

Well I luv my little Clio, but I wouldn’t spend money on all that special stuff.. only thing I would like to add to it is a cd-player, but well, tapes aren’t that bad :)

RobS said on December 29, 2004 23:37:

Very Nice, i want one as well ;-)

Wouldn’t mind a CD player for my car as well, actually even a tape player that works!! lol
