Newbie & saw Mk1 MR2 stand at Battlesbridge

[Blue1984]

Hi All,

Just a quick post to say hello - my other half has bought me a 1987 MK1 in Red which we are picking up on Saturday. I've wanted one for ages and it's an unexpected present

I also have a Yaris, on my second one since 2004 after being burnt by the very poor reliability of a 1996 Fiesta as my first car! Definately have a fondness for Toyota's.

I've had a look but couldn't see any posts about it - we were at the Battlesbridge Classic Car Show on Sunday in Essex and saw the three cars that were on your stand & have been at JAE the past three years and saw you guys there too.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi really and gradually pick up info about these funky cars

Cheers

I think it's something about the type of people who are into MK1's/older retro cars, usually seem to be pretty nice frindly people
(and we kick out the riff raff here too, so no naughiness)

Hi ,i'm glad you saw us at the show, did you come over and have a chat with us?
We had a great day, it was our first year at Battlesbridge and will certainly be going again next year.
Hopefully you will join us next year on the stand
We should have had more on the stand but a few let us down at the last moment
We are a very friendly bunch and always make new members welcome!

We have lots of shows going on this year, so maybe you can join us at them . Just let me know and i will get you booked in.

Nah wasn't quite brave enough to come over and have a chat - did have a look at the cars though. Also spotted info about the Weald Classic Car show and another one in July, although I can't remember all the info about them so will do a google shortly I imagine.

I'd love to come to shows - we're already JAE fans and seeing as it's in Essex now can't really not go with being in the same county. See you're in Romford - I work there so have the daily commute to and fro. It's a 'mare since they shut Gallows Corner flyover!

Get the car tomorrow, can't wait.

Think I'll have a better look around here as I'm still finding my feet - although I used to use forums daily I'm a bit rusty now so got to get back into it again.

Thank you for all the welcomes

Got the car today and just been out for my first drive in it as my other half drove it home. I think it's safe to say I am hooked already, the power and feeling of the car is great.

Have PM'ed you aswell Steve
