Guys, guys c'mon - no more anger. I felt compelled to respond here. Its tough enough to deal with negativity at work! Isn't this supposed to be a "retreat" where we can come together to share a common love for a beautiful sports car marque? You know I've been searching so long for the sort of MR2 I want & have met with some great people in the process & even though I "still haven't found what I'm looking for" I can still enjoy the "journey" meeting nice people and sharing the love. I understand the sort of car RHOK was looking for and hope he's now found it (I suspect his frustration was fuelling his comment "style") - for me, also, its hard to understand how these beautiful cars are touched in any way other than to bring them back to factory originality (save mechanical option enhancements e.g. LSD) - but as was said in this thread "to each his own". Unfortunately, there's often just one silly post that "lights" the fuse of resentment/anger. I've even had some sarcastic comments levelled at me for asking a few naive questions - but I just let it go. Sellers - please don't get offended if your car is not what the potential buyer wants or wants to pay. Buyers - dont insult sellers by running down their car or its mods or stuff them round if your not interested - just thank the person for their time and explain politely its not exactly what your looking for. People - lets be nice to each other - dont burn bridges - the alternative benefits no one.
