:shock: 15 months is harsh. I've had lift off oversteer in my 2 on a damp corner. Crazy to think that a lapse of concentration could see you behind bars.

Re: Red mk1 and Black MK2 on A38

Hi mate, that was probably me in the black mk2. Mk1 failed its MOT (2 page list of failures :oops: ) so I've bought a black rev 3 tubby :D . I was travelling Plymouth to Pompey. Work in Torpoint (in the Navy :-$ :oops:) Are there many MR2 meets in Plymouth?
