Hi there, the car belongs to Tony 'jinxy' Froude, I remember seeing it a week or so after he did the video. He is still about, and sells Mk1 MR2 parts as T and K MR2Mk1 spares, i had some stuff off him this week. I think he'd just had enough of the bitchiness on some forums.

Jinxy was active on IMOC up to 2006

Not sure he's even a member any more

Think he may be active on some of the other MR2 sites

Now T & N I believe - I think K ( Kev Crane ) is no longer involved with MR2 s

No Fear, im still lurking here :) & yes I still have my Mk1 & I still frequent most of the forums, there was a time when I got fed up with the bitching, although I have to say there wasn't so much of it on IMOC, but on the MK1 club site itself & it wasn't always aimed at myself, but still reading about it on an enthusiasts site wasn't pleasant. yes im still involved in Mk1's & parts my website ( cheap plug :) ) EDITED BY ADMIN the mk1 being involved in the video of such a huge song was a bonus for the Mk1 itself many people have contacted me saying that they had bought a Mk1 just on the strength of seeing one on the video, so that's got to be a good thing !

Tony you can't have a 'cheap' nor a free plug unless you are an affilliate.

Rules are rules as you well know.

Anyways, nice to hear you are still about. :+:

Seems he's back in the swing of things...
