It certainly was, funny thing is I had seen it at a showroom, told my wife about it as I had wanted one for years. Made the decision a few days later that lifes too short and you can always find reasons not to buy something. so, called the showroom to put a deposit on it by phone, only to be told it has sold !!!!!
Gutted, they had another 2 for sale but it was THE one for me, and had gone.
Little did I know my wife had been and paid for it, it was hidden in her mothers garage, until Xmas day!!!!
My son has a youtube page 'hatchbackhooligans', he has it on there now, wonderful little car.
How do I get the best out of this membership? never done it before.

Hi Colin.

What a wonderful present and surprise for you ! I have just watched the video and that is very emotional.

You must have a super wife that thinks a great deal of you and marvellous son(s) too to make it all possible without letting on. Don't forget the garage owner Mum was in on this too !

Enjoy your new toy and I hope others will come forward and share their MR2 experiences with you.
