If MR2 Roadsters werent invented what car would you have?

Anonymous · August 27, 2003, 16:47

Well the 2 is of course my favourite but I quite like the Honda s2000 and Porsche Boxter.

Favourite car if I could afford it would have to be the Porsche Carrera GT.

But at £350k I think Ive got a long way to go yet!

If were talking serious money then i would have had a Focus RS, Honda S2000, Porker, RX-8.

There is a focus RS for sale at the garage opposite my work... i keep driving past thinkging "wonder what they would give me for my '2" and then have to kick myself voilently for thinking such a thought! s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

yeah but the S2k isn't a affordable racer, its expensive in every way. Doubt you'd be bale to replace a race blown engine easily or quickly for cheep. Thats the beauty of the MR2 s:)

When I traded in my focus for a new one the other week, twas talking to the sales guy as you do. Apparently the RS has some major! performance problems, mainly in the overheating department which is causing the engine to cut out in high revs.

I knew the ST170 was seriously underpowered, but I would have expected more from the RS, I think you should knock it off your list really mate!.

I totaly agree, I can't understand why anyone would want to buy the V6 Clio when for less cash they could have a 911 keeper upper VXT.

I kicked a RS Forus's ass the other day, really no BS I was off the line and into the first bend before he knew what hit him, he was tryin' as well. He held it in a straght but I was very un impressed. Maybe it was too new.

I would like to say I got a hear of his engine, but my Tannabe was screeming to much s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Already had an MX-5 so I'd have to stretch to an S2K instead.

Take the one off the rear, that V6 Clio would never get to see the one stuck on the front.

I did the same a while back with a scooby thing, in bends there aint much that can kick us. My boss here has a scooby and still thinks he has the fastest car on earth and doesnt believe that a little MR2 R can kick his big fat ugly saloon car butt.

No its stuck on, I wanted to make sure more air was getting to the radiator, and the badge is from the Mk1 MR2 I managed to put on its roof on track.
