Daggernite's MR2 Crashed
« on: 02-Jan-2010, 07:53:14 »
I changed my car again and this time wanted a totally different feel and experience. I made this video, can you guess my new car before the answer is revealed at the end of the video?

Guess what my new car is


VIDEO

A look inside my Toyota MR2 roadster


As requested from Saadie and Phobo here is alook inside my MR2. I thought I would go all out and try be a top gear presenter :lol: Ill wait until summer to get the roof down and get driving shots. It was actually stuck in the snow and I was all smelly thats to all the pipes in the house frozen. Hope you enjoy guys it took hours to make. Of course everyone is welcome to view it. Remeber its 720p HD so go full screen :D

Driving my Toyota MR2 Roadster on a wet foggy Buckstone pass


Here is a video showing the car been driven from the passenger perspective. I was trying to get to drive my favourite driving road but the fog stopped that.

I do expect everyone here to guess it right. I got the idea of this video from that old show richard hammond use to be on where you had to guess the car from tiny pictures. It is absolutly great in the corners and braking, I just miss the Vtec engine screaming out. I did want a lotus, but my back ached and the non servo assisted brakes was just a no no for me. This car met my needs perfectly.

Congrats on getting it right.

:D that also was my first impression then I skipped back to see the headlights again and thought Toyota yaris or at least sth. from toyota. The rear intake then made it clear.

Im looking into the 180bhp celica engine. The current engine does feel abit dull. Ive looked at the video again, and I can see the 996 lol :lol: Its main merit is the handling and braking. But at the momment, as I get use to the MR layout 140bhp is fine :) I would like to blacken my headlights like hamlets VX220.

I also thought you got yourself 996 Turbo (the angle you took headlights and the side intake with tuned up forks) :blush: :mrgreen:

then another angle of headlights told me what it is and the rear bonet just comfirmed it :)

have fun with your new car, I guess, it's one of the best little sporty convertibles :good:

I thought it's a Boxster at first, but guessed it at 2nd glance! Nice buy! Happy with it?

Im happy with it for sure. It looks alittle "pokemon" but on the inside, its spacious and has that "racer" spirit, with the typical japanese feel. So as a car which was bought purely for driver enjoyment. It more than does the job. All I would change is make it look alittle more aggressive.

I had an idea at the first shot and it turned out to be right somewhere halfway during the video :)

Congrats man, very nice ride!!

Can you make some interior shots - me wants to see how big it is inside + how it looks from the drivers seat.

Are those cars also that rare in the UK? Over here I think I have never seen one before.

Yeah I'll get a few pics and a video for you so you can get a better idea of the interior. Its very spacious with more than generous leg and head space. I dont think there too rare in Uk although it was hard to find mine. I'll PM you phobo when I get the pics and vid sorted for you. :good:
