Introducing myself...

[ruth11]

Hi All

I'm a member from a long time ago, below is a link to some photos of my MR2 that I no longer own. Has been out of my possession for a looong time now... It was my pride and joy as I had transformed it from a standard Rev 1 N/A dark green Japanese import to what you see here... I got an unexpected opportunity to purchase my childhood dream car - a Porsche 911 - so this had to go...

I have always regretted letting it go and now I'm considering doing it all again.

Hi Ruth11,

I am in the same boat, i had a couple of years out of the game and really missed it, recently bought a car with more problems than the berlin wall, even though the car has been sitting in my driveway since i bought it i am really enjoying spending hour upon hour buying mods and trying to get her to what i want...

Hope you find a nice car and get back to the joys, if you know what i mean...

I am also a member of the 'sold on regretted it' club.....Sold my MR2 in January 2011...missed it from the moment it drove off my driveway. Kept in contact with the chap, and August 2013 I bought her back again for less than half if what I sold her for!

Now she is mine again...and we are never going to be parted.

Welcome back.. We should start a sold my car and regretted it club. I also sold my car a few years ago missed owning and driving an mr2. So the one i've got now is not going anywhere.. love her to bits..

I'm coming it JAE to remind myself what's what in the scene and attempt to persuade my husband to let me buy another one....

I bought my first MR2 brand new in 1998 (red rev 5 t bar) sold it 3 years later to buy a 10 year old 911 (a childhood dream).

Wish I had never sold it though. So yes i'm in the muppet club too.

[ruth11]

welcome one and all to the muppet club, although it sounds like you guys have got yourselves out of it now!

Thanks for the nice comments re my MR2, I was v proud of it. It was over 10 years ago now and I can't remember the body kit name but the spoiler was part of that. I am still in love with that colour so will probably go for that again if I need to respray. I have my eye on a rev 5 but am also tempted by a turbo maybe this time - not sure if there is such a thing as a rev 5 tubby?

Mattm117 - do you still have the Porsche? I still have mine and even though I hardly ever drive it hubby won't let me sell as it appears to be appreciating in value right now. And that's one stumbling block for the MR2 idea as I also have a daily driver (mini JCW) so in theory one of them needs to go... Tough decision!

Seems there are quite a few of us, I had a Goodwood green Rev 3 turbo, Rays alloys, Fujitsubo exhaust, hybrid turbo etc etc, sold it some years ago and decided to come back last August.

In the past year I have slowly been tweaking my 'new' Rev 3 turbo to how I want it.

[Gullzter]

Im also on the muppet boat Ruth, albeit not as bad as others..
I thrashed my original rev2 turbo then sold it around 18months ago to get back in a golf but decided immediately that i wanted another, done some research and decided to go for a rev3 turbo about a year ago

Good luck with your search
