ive got a bit of spare cash (for once) & im looking for a new toy.. ive been looking at toyota mr2s i fancy a t top or ive seen some cheap convertibles (2000 on) anyone any experience of them? & what should i be looking for??
ill probably end up spending the cash on the house but i can always dream
A mate of mine had a 90 MR2 a few years back and I remember him replacing the sills (when it was about 6 yrs old) because they were as rotten as a pig.

Have you forgotten that once we were brought here we were robbed of our names,robbed of our language,we lost our religion,our culture,our God? And many of us by the way we act,we even lost our minds.

I've only ever had dealings with the earlier shape MR2s, maybe the more curvaceous newer ones don't dissolve so rapidly? But as far as I can gather, they're fairly typically Japanese in that they're reliable and are keenly sought after by the modifying fraternity.
Just buy one, you can always worry about the details later!
J "Home is where you park it", so the saying goes. That may yet come true..
Never owned one, and have no real desire to either, but my bro in laws ex had an early MK1, and while it ran sweet enough it was rotten, a fate I believe befalls the T tops more as seals go and water manages to get inside.
TBH I could think of much nicer things for a mid life crisis
