Bought my SW20!
So I took a holiday day off work to travel 3~ hours to go pick up my MR2 Sw20 on Wednesday. Can't thank Dudeman enough for the sale and I absolutely love it, top bloke, very informative, and obviously took care of the car like you would a child. Props from both my friends from the visit and inspection, and the picking up of the car, who both had the same opinion as me in that aspect. Other than the ****ting my pants when it started sounding like a tractor and guzzling fuel like champion drinker, and spending a night in the shed looking for a vacuum leak, to have my friends boss find the MAP sensor hose had fallen off after about 30 seconds of inspection, everything has been perfect.

You were aware it was headed this direction then Shaz? You will most certainly see me at cars and coffee tomorrow morning! How long does it go for?

Yeah Dudeman put a "spotted" thing on the other day saying he saw it at Pheasants Nest heading north. Plan for cars & coffee I believe is 7-30 to 9.30. It's early days tho.

That's okay, early days is better as far as I am concerned. Easier to find a group of people who can show a good example. I'm not sure I understand this spotted thing, will have to look at it haha.

Haha yeah just had a look. Coffee is there or do I bring coffee? :P Also, is there any suggestion on drink holders? I have no idea where to put drinks so they're currently banned if they don't have a lid or are water.

But sub behind passenger seat :P Reaching behind myself seems awkward, and I have indeed been making my girlfriend take care of drinks while I drive, and she laughs at me for the tremendous **** eating grin I have across my face.. Haha
