Nice little runabout Ben, wish I had known as Jo is selling her Mini Cooper Convertable, hope you have a suitable bandanna, I had a full head of hair before we got ours :-D

That should look great with BigPower stickers on it 8)

I look forward to seeing it on track

It will be used on the virgin trackday don't you worry.

Was going to replace the alloys immediately with a set of 17 inch boosts but these wheels are new - toyota alloys have a tendency to bubble - so the car's just had new disks pads, wheels etc, so might aswell keep them for a few weeks.

Best part the girl selling it works for toyota so it's having the full 145 check done prior to us taking it.

Other things - will get a set of TTE lowering springs and drop it to the ground plus looking at the chassis stiffening also.

Fil, I could not have persuaded jo to have anything but an MR2 - I saw a pic of a red MRS with white Advan RG's - that sealed the choice of the next toy.

This does mean sadily that my MKII is leaving the stable, BUT not going far - my sisters boyfriend is buying it cheap off me - on the basis that I get to buy it back in a few years.
