I took a week off to do a bit of driving around the country, I didn't really have much planned .. just see where we ended up depending on the weather. Ended up covering almost 900 miles and the auld girl didn't miss a beat

Limerick. Just after been awoken from it's sleep

ha ha ... the red car and the blue car had a race

Thanks so much for all the kind comments guys
It was really enjoyable to have it out on the road and running so good.
It's only when we get back into the boring euro-boxes that take us to work each day, that we can appreciate what a truly great driver's car the MR2 is

Kcd you have her looking amazing cheers for the pics

thanks got92tubby, I still have the exhaust that I got from ya a while back, nice sound and not too loud on the motorway ...just just enough so that I can't hear the missus in the passenger seat

Looks mint, kc'd! How did she cope with the roads round Mayo? I did Achill to Westport a while ago and my (totally standard) Passat was bottoming out everywhere with any kind of speed.
Looks like a great trip.

so the faster you go the more she complains but because it gets harder to hear her you have done nothing wrong. I like it I should have got rid of the standard back box when I had mine.

The car looks fantastic

Thanks Tsporter, it is lowered and on coilovers, they almost set to max stiffness, but to be fair it handled great. The rears rubbed the arches a few times, but I had tools and bags for 2 people for the week ... there was not an inch of free space in the boot

All is perfect in my world above 5000 RPM
