Have to agree with xez. Why make someone feel unwelcome for no good reason? 
 
Good luck with your search RHOK. It's getting harder and harder to find good clean unmolested MR2's as the years go by, but I completely understand your requirement to be discerning. Far too many once great MR2's have been ruined by people with poor taste and small… (I'm sure you can guess what I'm saying.)  

Thank you very much for the understanding

RHOK hasn't made a comment about thinking Dude's pic was unnecessary.  Hopefully he's seeing the light funny side of it too.  Who knows he may have even half expected some ribbing with a post like that.  I had a chuckle before Dude even put up the pic.  Thought it depicted a "mature discerning buyer" very well.
 
Aaahhh well if RHOK changes his mind before a great 2 becomes available, he should still have fun in a rex or an evo, just not quite as much fun as a 2.
 

 

To the majority the following may apply
 
"Silence implies consent" is a concept of social interaction, which states roughly that people tend to assume lack of response to an action as tacit approval of that action.
 
I do not need to be a "keyboard" hero and try to be right or tough or whatever on the internet by making a retort of some type or try to prove that the perpetrator in some way is mentally disadvantaged -- that has already been self inflicted and self exposed by he/she.

mature - not being juvenile or childish
discerning - having or showing good judgement.
 
If no clean Sw20 comes my way
 
I shall research the 2zz and turbo swap into the MR-S

What about this one.

Shaz I am not surprised to see that one is "Still" for sale....
 
I saw that one when I was looking and my first thought was Oh that poor MR2!
But that is just my opinion I guess someone must have thought something of it to do that to an MR2.  

Man, that is some bad taste there.  Each to their own I suppose, but another SW20 ruined...

Thank you for your assistance but it is really not my "style"

Lets look at some points  in a DISCERNING way :)
 
"The car has been fully resprayed inside and out using House of Kolour Jet Black and finished off with Candy Gold and Candy Brandy Wine Graphics."  
 
=  you will never be able to match the paint/graphics in the event of a accident/scratch etc and the need for repairs, it will also make your insurance premium higher ( if you can get insurance).
 
"The Interior of this Mr2 has been custom Designed and hand made sporting a full custom made fibreglass interior with hi quality paint work to match the exterior."
 
=  good luck trying to fix/repair anything if it breaks/cracks/gets vanadalised in anyway, basically same issue as the exterior paint/graphics.
 
"The seats and floors have been given a hi quality beige leather treatment imported from Italy and is so plush an soft, it still smells brand new and is in Unmarked Condition"
 
=  yep take your shoes off or have a supply of  medical type disposable shoe slip on covers used in surgery so that you dont get a black mark from the rubber sole of your boots on the beige floors. If you plan to use this as a normal type car to enjoy driving rather than a trailer carried  show queen then the interior will get tatty and dirty/marked up very very quickly
 
"The Massive stereo and entertainment system is truly incredible and is all Hi end Kenwood Items and must be heard and seen to be appreciated, Featuring 4 10inch subwoofers behind the driver and passenger seats, 8 component splits Speakers, 4 interior LCD tv's, A Kenwood Flip out touch screen Tv to control the sound system.. In the boot, 2 component splits Speakers, 2 12inch subwoofers, 2 LCD tv's, 2 LED down lights, 3 Amplifiers in the boot (2 on display), In the front, 2 component splits Speakers, 3 Amplifiers.."
 
= this stuff with associated wiring and upgrades to power it weighs more than the driver and passenger put together,  so who wants more weight in a lightweight sports car - sort of defeats the purpose. No stereo sounds as good as a healthy turbo whistleing
 
 
 
 

So are you looking for a stock turbo MR2 or a modified one? Do you care if its a GEN2 or a GEN3? If modified what kind of modifications do you see as acceptable?
I have a feeling you are looking for a very specific type of MR2. Would the blue alpha bug (or however you spell it) for sale on here interest you?

xez Man, that is some bad taste there.  Each to their own I suppose, but another SW20 ruined... 

 
C'mon xez, don't you realise that's a very rare Limited Edition classic!?! If I'm not mistaken, the styling was a one-off done by a design student from the 'Institute for the Visually & Aesthetically Challenged', which is very kindly sponsored by Brescia Furniture.
 
I believe the interior was trimmed using donated materials left over from the manufacture of Brescia's 70's range of 'not-quite-albino cow hide' sofas.
