kool, I used to be a previous MR2 owner as well. Awesome cars but spin too easy.

Scooby was the next logical step.

have a look at my car
its been cherished and has just been motd (yesterday)
it is immaculate and is i think the best possible example of a performance classic
plus the good thing is you could afford some mods and the insurance with what you have to spend
i will take 5,200 for a quick sale!!!!!!
you will not see a better unmodded 96 WRX

Wow... that's amazing... I used to have an MR2 MKII 300 BHP full racing car on the road... I have some really nice pictures of it as well if you interested in looking at them.

Anyhow, more to the subject, I have sent you an e-mail...

Thanks
