Millionaires owning MR2's?????

Post by Sweete »

I was in London at the weekend for my Birthday & on one of those bus tours round the city. When the guide said if you look to your right there is one of the richest streets in London where many famous people live such as Joan Collins a few footballers & loads of others (can't quite remember who, not good at remembering names!!) :oops: I looked down the street at all the Bentleys, Aston Martins, a Maclaren Merc, Porsches, Rolls Royce & would you believe it a stock Rev1 MR2 in red. I couldn't believe it!!
Was the highlight of my weekend!!

Sad I know :? but had to tell someone cos non of the people on the bus seemed interested!!
:lol:

LOL - well I'm a journo and I have one :)

Reminds me of a funny story...

A famous Scottish premier league footballer took his Ferrari along to the local dealership and asked for it to be serviced. He only bought it a few weeks previous and wanted to make sure it was all A-ok. A few minutes after he left he got a call from the dealership to say they dont do servicing on MR2's with bodykits.

Wasn't there a guy of coronation street that owned a Mark 1? He did used to post on the old site I'm sure of it. Ok he probably ain't a millionaire but he's probably fairly well off.
