Welcome to the team Richie. Think of the craic you had with Ray and then multiply that by 8. That's the average number of us at the mini-meets. It's great having the chats, looking at the cars all lined up, comparing and contrasting the different styles, mods and ideas. The MRS will never get her MRS back!

Yep I know....I sold my daily driver so I just "have" to drive this.If you dont need a boot for work its actually practical enough and so much more fun than the Golf (yawn).I agree about the mini meets we do something similar over at Roadster Irl and are always great fun.

Nice pic, I like the gun barrel grey. Kinda looks like a Boxster from dead on front. Nice having the soft top too. I've had 2 convertible Beemers in the past, last one was just before this MR2. Really miss it. There is nothing like it, feels like you are in a speed boat!

If you're suffering from lag, you're either in the wrong gear or the wrong car!

I really must apologise and re-assure you that Ray is not typical of the members on here. We are a sensible lot whose good anme is dragged down by individuals like Ray

cheers everyone for the welcome.The redline oil in the box and engine make a difference especially downshifting.Its amazing what you get used to as being ok before you start tinkering with the fluids.

Welcome along Richie, only back from hols now and just seen your first post as I headed out the door to go on them.

Lovely car, class colour. Welcome along, and hopefully some of the lads here will have a peep at the Roadster site in the coming future, would be good crack to have combined meets/runs and well as the C & C.

BTW Spanky is to be ignored, we traced his IP to a mental institute in Iceland.

They seem like a grand bunch Richie. I got no abuse when I mentioned the boxster. So that's good.

Phffft Boxster's, coming on to this site with your teutonic lump of steel and not even putting your immaculate Mrk II back on the road.

There thats the hazing gate open for everybody else now.

SleepMethod, were you not already talking to Ritchie about his MK3, he was asking you about flaking wheels etc?
