Georgie, you can put lipstick on a pig mate, but it is still a pig, therefore the MR2 is still a hairdresser's car...think I'll stick to my choice thanks..

I had a MK3 briefly and that WAS a hairdresser's car. In a way. I was pleased when the engine fell to bits and I got rid of it.

I though you were all "real men" up in the North, they are Girly hairdresser cars FFS!! :19:

An MR2 a girly hairdressers car? Mine was truly terrifying (in a good way) it wasn't madly fast but it got up to speed phenomenally quickly

I'm starting to get very worried about you lot..has no-one got a proper car? I'll give you examples of my current crop so you get the idea..

Range Rover Vogue SE
Discovery 3 TDV6
Discovery 300TDi (Off road and recovery use as it has a 12,000Ib winch on it)
Volvo D5 (Chipped to 211bhp and 489Ib/ft)
Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante (1992 vintage)

Now they are proper cars!!

Well I had a MK2 .... "G" reg that was a standard 2 litre straight 4 and loved it, but the tin worm got to it and it had to go.

It was replaced by a MK3 standard 1.8 straight 4 that I never liked and after a few hundred miles the engine grenaded.

I then bought a MK2 with a 3 litre V6, but it's needing an engine rebuild 'cos it's knackered - like me.

Meanwhile, I have this 1990 Celeica thing that's 4 wheel steering, convertible and I'm told is very rare and worth a lot of money. Underneath, it's immaculate and it shifts a bit too off the line..... but it isn't an MR2 Mk2 with a V6 .....
