Robbo, when I've been to Southampton a few weeks ago, I saw an MR2 very similar to yours. Same colour and a Tubby aswell. Wonder if it was yours? :D

Would have taken a photo but didn't wanna look like a car thief or anything. ;)


hi to you all and thanks WOW what a response one thing i will say in my opinion is most colours look great also with different colours wheels i think part of it must be that the mr2 is such a great looking car, \:D/
and thanks for the pics theres some real nice 2s, keep sending those pics guys n girls its nice to see how people have personally created there mr,s :mrgreen:

hi pete it could well of been me i work in southampton docks but i only live 15 minutes drive from the main centre if i had seen you in your mr i would have waved cos i always do :thumleft:

My present 2 is red, but I'd have to go for black.

My first MR2 was black so nostalga reigns, but I think black just makes it look less mainstream and more just plain rugged.

I want another black one! Anyone wanna swap! lol

Nah, I wasn't there in my MR2. I was just visiting a few friends who live there. The car was parked just one street away from my mates house where I'd stayed for the weekend

I can PM you the name of the street if you want? ;)

Was a great weekend there btw, went to see maritime museum, docks, Ford Transit plant, night out at the bitterne pub, etc...

I'm planning on going there again next year, this time by car though. ;)

I do like the Mica Beige, but perhaps just because its rare and you dont see many, not sure about it really
Black hides the lines too much, white is the colour of the mo, and a nice standard rev 4 or kitted white MR2 still looks great today I reckon...
Saying that a nice fresh super red II still looks good, but the fading would put me off getting another....

the best colour won't win, due to the three common colours of Red white or black being plentifull, and each owner voting for their own colour.

its Carribean blue thats the best by the way 8)

Sadly not my car buddy, mine is the black one in my garage, I was one of the rare folks who didn't chose their own colour, i've never seen a mica beige in real life, but by god, if I had the choice i'd swap mine for one in a heartbeat! It's the colour of winners!
