Newbie in Swindon..

Post by Timmo »

Hi guys

I'm on my second mk2 MR2 and thought I'd get involved with some kind of club/forum. I've read some interesting threads on here! I'm currently running a standard goodwood green rev-3 and will post pictures up when allowed.
Is anyone else around the Swindon/north Wilts area?

Cheers, Tim

Always up for a small get together in the mean-time if you fancy? Nice to meet a fellow 2 owner.

Nice one mate. I should be up for that gathering. I'm not a member of that forum so you can feel free to chalk my name up on the list. As for a small get together I'll have to let you know as December is a busy month for me!

Thanks guys. It was washed, clayed, washed again, polished with Autoglym Super Resin, and then waxed with 2 coats of Meguires high-tec wax. Also blacked the tyres, polished the glass etc before this photo was taken! Sadly, she is filthy at the moment and its either been raining or -1 outside and I'm not washing it in those conditions!
I've just replaced the clear lenses on the front as the old ones looked yellow-ish and replaced the wiper arms as the paint had peeled. Roll on the good weather so I can wash it again!

Hi mate, if it was by the mini-roundabout then yeah it was me. I nodded but wasn't sure if you saw!
