With the mr2 being stripped and not wanting the audi covered in stone chips I'm thinking of a budget mr2 for next year,spend a few hundred,strip it out completely and sell the interior trims etc and whatever I get use to get the car going as well as possible. If anything if will be a laugh to see how it goes.

you have seen how well a NA copes with Keiran and Dee last year and then Ray this.

just think what a stripped out version would be able to do .

With me still saving for a house I'm thinking buying a car,even to sell on may be a bad idea. If anyone wouldn't mind a passenger for the trip then give new a shout,that will also half your fuel bill.

Only thing is that there would be no salad guy!

I may be in a possition to hire you one dude but might work out as expensive as buying one and selling it on.. Would also be a mk3 :th:

those that have been on previous highland drives may recognise the loop talked about here, I know I remember it and from the comment can see TonyleFrog did too!
