I bought it! This weekend I went to the UK and got my '94 MR2 Turbo! Here's an impression of last weekend.
We (my girlfriend, me, and two friends) left very early on Friday, February 18th.
Had to drive 520 miles to see it... and cross a sea, too!
On Saturday 19th we arrived in Newtown, Wales around noon after spending the night in a guest house (very amusing). Finally I was able to see the car for myself!
The ad said 'immaculate inside and out', but the exterior was'nt perfect. There were some deep scratches on the right front fender, and some other paint defects. But once I got to test driving it, those imperfections all vanished. What a ride! Very fast car indeed, no noises from dashboard, suspension etc whatsever! Braking was good, steering even better! What a fun car to drive! So I bought it, and took it back home.
Of course, the UK it a RHD country, and all I ever did was drive LHD cars, so it took some getting used to, but overall it wasn't a problem!
Back in Dover, the ferry was delayed for two hours, which sucked as we were all exhausted already. Well, at least we were able to watch Shrek2 (again...) on my friends DVD player (in the VW Passat parked right behind the MR2).
Once the boat arrived, I was first in line to get on it! The German tourists next to us stared at my big Jap exhaust in disbelieve
Arrived home at 6:00 in the morning, and after a good night's sleep, it was time to wash the car as we ran into heavy snow on the way home. Had to quickly get rid of all that nasty salt...
So there it is, my new MR2 Turbo! Some specs:
- 1994 MR2 Turbo GT-S
- Super White II
- Hardtop
- Climate Control
- ABS
- Power steering
- 15" RacingHart CP-035 rims / Yokohama tyres
- Clear front indicators
- Front and rear strut tower bar
- HKS replacement filter
- Blitz TurboTimer
- SR Jasma approved exhaust
