Toyota MR2 Message Board - View Single Post

Good morning!

I just joined here hoping to learn more about the mk1 mr2's than I've picked up reading various articles, and I figure a few questions right off the bat might set me in line.

First off, I noticed that the chat was empty. I'm up in Maine (gmt-5), so it's only 10am here. Does the chat ever pick up? Is there an IRC version, or does that connect to an IRC backend? I spend a-lot of time on IRC servers, and a place where I could talk to car entusiasts there would greatly improve my ability to learn.

I don't currently own an mr2. I've never even owned a car that wasn't a GM, and my current car has been absolutely great to me: However, I've fallen in love with the mk1 mr2 for it's size. (I have a thing for small cars)
In a few months, probably in the spring, I plan to purchase a 1986 mr2.
If there is a place in this board to sell/trade, I'll be found there looking- it has to be an 86, and it has to be in good enough condition to drive it to Maine; and possibly florida first to visit a dear friend, depending on location. I'm looking for rust-free, so I can try and keep it that way up here in maine (and if you've ever been here, you know that's not easy)

A little about myself, I guess. I'm currently 22, looking to buy a house. I'm a computer tech, and you can pretty much find me near or on a computer (even have a touchscreen in my current car). I've never made a car payment, and never plan to. I guess that's all I need to say for now.
Here's hoping that there is an IRC chat, or possibly that the current chat is linked to an irc backend, otherwise I'll probably never go.
