It cost 550 quid has just passed its first mot with me and cost me £55 and two back tyres but I knew about them anyway so wasn't shocked. So for a 20 year old car to have its mot with no advisorys I am shocked. 
It is a pain in the ass always things going wrong with it and rattles and noises all over the place but it is my pride and joy

If I fix a rattle, it makes another. I fix a mechanical, it makes another, same for the electrics. The paint is awful with mismatched panels and a beat up front bumper, but I still feel quite proud inside when people ask what I drive 
I do not lie when i say i treat is as a living thing 
. I even have given it a name, MR.2, and talks to him as a breathing person 
I cannot think of another car that's so cheap that gives as many thrills, which is why I bought it. I see cars that are worth possibly 100 times what I paid for mine at the side of the road broken down and just wonder why people buy these so called luxury prestige cars? I know 100 percent everytime I get in mine I have more fun than when a range rover owner gets in his expensive car.Draven wrote:I love my car too.
I let my mate drive it the other day as I'd never seen it from outside and thought it sounded awesome and when he got back he loved it.MR2 Rich wrote:Mines called Mr 2 aswell lol.
And with a mix of miles and km totalling 91K on the clock thats good going i reckon! I keep thinking of selling to buy something else but as soon as i go for a run i start to think theres no way im letting it go. Yes there have been slight mechanical/electrical faults but ive fixed every one myself and feel confident enough to do anything needed to fix it. And when the suns out and im out and about the amount of good attgention the car gets makes me proud to think that ive got it looking that good from my own hard work! Glad to say i own a mr2 Mk2!"I know that son-of-a-b*tch is cheatin! Cause, I'm cheatin and he beat me"! From engine going, head gasket and reshell the list is endless. I could have given up years ago and saved me around £10k. Isn't repairing an old car part of the fun owning one? Sard r2d2 dump valve reverberation off the car im just over taking. 
..it's gotten so far under my skin I can't leave it alone, I love driving it that much that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to move on from it....it's taken over my life and I had other automotive plans for the future! 
I have had her 6 years and keep thinking about changing. I cant see me ever been able to sell her. I love my MR2, got one with my dad as a joint project, ended up with me getting my own for a daily driver. Still puts a smile on my face and feels like im driving something "special"
