some of you may remember the thread I started a couple of weeks ago: need advice on a second car (runabout and hillclimb)
well, I picked it up this arvo. I'm now the proud owner of a 1988 Toyota MR2. so far, I'm happy to report its a tonne of fun (almost literally, as it weighs in at 1050kg) to drive and it sticks to the road round corners like the proverbial poop to a blanket. for the uneducated; its a 1.6L 4 cylinder coupe, with the engine mounted midship, behind the 2 seats, and its RWD. Only makes 88kW, but then its only got a little bit of weight to shift. 5 speed manual, 45/55 weight distribution and it redlines at a touch over 7500rpm. best part is, I can drive it hard and it will still give me better economy than I get from my EL when I'm gentle with it! i'll post some better (daylight) pics after I give it a wash and polish tomorrow.
