Quote from: thetyrant on May 19, 2021, 10:20Nice did well to find the TTE bits!

it has been an expensive mission for sure.

Few other bits to get over the coming weeks

Had my previous SP wheels redone in Bronze and fresh Hancook Tyres fitted
Pictures just don't do this combo justice.

Very nice Steve

Zxrob · May 19, 2021, 15:02

Looking good

Those wheels do go nicely too

Thank you for the kind comments

I love the colour combo but our dear old friend @1979scotte doesnt think the bronze and red go...

Maybe he will need to see the car in person to change his mind

Nope.
Not for changing sorry.
Although it more the size than the colour.

Managed to get out in the car and have some shakedown miles this afternoon. What a lovely bank holiday weekend

StuC · May 30, 2021, 20:22

@s12vea i think I like this look. Cheeky lil tte sticker too. 😉😉

Feel it needs an accent of bronze elsewhere on the car to link in the wheels. 🤔🤔

s12vea · May 30, 2021, 20:26

I like your thinkings!
Something else could be going bronze we shall see......

StuC · May 30, 2021, 20:30

Cryptic as ever. 🙄😂😂

Managed to buy an immaculate tte exhaust after months of being taunted by the previous owner because he knew how much I wanted it, paid far too much also but needs must as it complements my setup. It came from a late car with under 30k so immaculate as a 15 year old exhaust can be.
Hopefully get that fitted early next week with a decat.
Looking forward to releasing some sound as my car is near on silent at present

s12vea · July 20, 2021, 22:04

Today had my TTE exhaust and decat fitted

A Long time coming
At last some sound to go with the performance
Tomorrow I shall clean 800 miles worth of bugs and grime

With the stunning Red TTE Turbo now with its new owner in Gibraltar, I tried to move onto a hot hatch but it didn't itch the spot.
Searching high and low for my favourite two seater sports car then begun.

Prices are rising
Cars are getting older
Many have been abused
Hardtops prices are heading to the moon

I couldn't find a single "clean" example in the usual places.

I had to resort to my little black book of mr2s "that could be for sale in the future"
I made contact with a gentlemen that was the second owner of a fantastic Sable car which has been garaged it's whole life and had very little use for the last few years due to life getting in the way.
After many emails / pictures and phone calls a deal was done and the car was delivered to me yesterday.
I couldn't be happier!

It's a genuine clean rust free car with original paint, good service history and very bright and clear headlights! It even has the original Bridgestone tyres! (These will be replaced shortly)

It still makes me smile when I find these hidden Gems and I've said more and more often over the past few years that finding one in this sort of condition is rare nowadays.

Pictures to follow once I've spend some time giving it a proper detail next week.

P.S Mods can this thread be moved to readers rides?

StuC · June 19, 2022, 23:28

We have all come to accept this pattern of behavior now Steve. Almost to go the point where we can set it watches by it!! 😉😉

I was reading excerpts of your latest challenge and the Mrs said... "He can't have Lily back!" 😂😂
Then went on further to say about getting legal something in place to restrict you! 😎😂😂
She is really serious about this.

1979scotte · June 20, 2022, 06:44

Here we go again.

s12vea · June 20, 2022, 06:53

It's all part of the fun and part of the challenge

@StuC Lily is a Mega example of a 2 and Many would agree a stunning example in Yellow she is safe for now

@1979scotte I like to experience other cars but this 2 seater sports car keeps drawing me back. I very nearly bought a boxster but at the price point I was looking at could of been a can of worms.

s12vea · June 20, 2022, 06:56

I am hoping this week to spent some time going over the car and bringing it upto my spec, weather looks to be nice so be able to put some miles on the car and awake it from slumber.

Topdownman · June 20, 2022, 10:39

Looking forward to seeing some pictures of another immaculate car!

SuperArt · June 20, 2022, 15:47

Calling dibs on this car for WHEN (not if) you come to sell it.

Yeah we all know it's a WHEN. 😂😂

s12vea · June 21, 2022, 06:47

Nothing wrong with that, it allows someone an opportunity to enjoy another stunning example and keep these cars on the road.
