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?

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.

great fun in the twisties i bet!!!

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.

at first I thought you got yourself 996

I guessed just with the first shot of the front lights

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.

This friend has one with an uprated celica engine ... the gear box was flipped and mirrored lol .. he just got a new linkage which is kinda flinsey ..
i love the car tho .. handles beautifully!

Daggernite · « **Reply #9 on:** 03-Jan-2010, 00:29:06 »

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

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.

MIHALS · « **Reply #10 on:** 03-Jan-2010, 10:21:12 »

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

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

Congrats for new car, I think it's very funny to drive!

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!!

Guyon · « **Reply #15 on:** 06-Jan-2010, 02:20:03 »

MR-fricken-two! Alright! Congrats on your new buy.

Phobo · « **Reply #16 on:** 06-Jan-2010, 19:35:00 »

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.

Daggernite · « **Reply #17 on:** 06-Jan-2010, 22:20:19 »

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.

Sure thing. Im suprised about the interest to be honnest. Check back on this thread tomorrow and I'll be sure to have something up for you guys.

EDIT- just added a video to the first post. Not an interior shot, but you might want to check it out if intrested in the MR2. Its only of me wiping off the snow.
