Driving through a local village on my way to halfords on Sunday and I saw a red mr2 driving towards me. Realising there Are so few about I figured it would be Stuart who lives quite close...but we have never managed to meet..
Anyway, we flashed lights, pulled over and had a tiny little mr2 mk1 meet.
Great to meet you Stuart.
That's quality! I haven't seen a mk1 on the roads near me for ages now..
I am in Ashford, always up for a little MR2 meet, I see a couple around, one lives on the next road up, another couple in Folkestone I have seen and I saw a red one on the back roads of Lenham earlier in the week.
Just saw this thread for the 1st time. I rememeber the teeny weeny meet :-) It was nice to meet you two and I enjoyed the ride in your awesome blue mk1a.
Jemehan I was down your way a couple of months ago in the mr2 if I had known I would have dropped you a line
I was thinking the other day i've not seen a mk1 about for a long time now.
But I can look in my garage every night ;)
Can't wait to get mine going again! I've got the buzz for it now as well!
That's a shame Stuart, to be fair, I have only recently signed up to the MK1 Club, the previous owner was on here though I believe. the car has gone down hill a little since then. found some painted over rust, which was a shame... and then the spring broke on the bonnet catch when I didn't close the bonnet properly... so need to paint and fit my new bonnet and get a new windscreen, I am a little ashamed to show other owners at the moment... :S
Any thread with 'busty' in the title is useless without pics!! ;)
I know! Says an awful lot when my spell checker corrects bitsy to busty eh lolQuote:

I've made huge progress with mine this year but still I have a long list of jobs to do ;)
After the new one is fitted, I will be funning a nice amount of sealant across the top to ensure it seal properly. I think the cracked screen is causing a water leak... need to re-spray my spare bonnet and fill my wing as it has rust holes...
Looking forward to seeing people around
