Hi,
Saw my friend Mitch from Charlotte the other day and he reminded me about this site, which I promptly joined when it was first created and then sort of forgot about.
I've been an MR2 enthusiast for well over 10 years now, and have owned most versions of all generations. Currently I have an 88NA, two 91NAs, a 92T, and a 2001 with 2ZZGE transplant. Previously I've also had an 88NA, 88SC, and a 93T.
Remember, it is only a problem when you can't stop, and I can stop any time. I just like the way it makes me feel.
Yeah, that's it.
Jim

Welcome back........I wish I had that many deuces!

mr2driver · 07-13-2007, 10:41 AM

You want the Paul Harvey (the REST of the story)?

One of the 91NAs is off the road, waiting for a repaint. The 92T is also off the road awaiting some repiars, repaint, then new wheels and tires. The 88NA is a major project I recently picked up for cheap. It runs and moves under it's own power, but won't be put on the road until I do a restoration. So that leaves only the Spyder and the 91NA hardtop actually on the road at the present.
It helps I have a big shop / storage building and enough vehicles that I don't have to get any of these going any time soon.
And this is what I do for fun ?!

That's cool! And one day i will have room for a little MR2 ranch, Oh and how could you forget about the site ?

mr2driver · 07-13-2007, 10:48 AM

When it first started, there was not much activity. I am often very busy with work, and the MR2 hobby is hot and cold. There are times when I don't visit the MR2 sites for days to weeks and even then only for a quick look while at work. Too many other things.
I hate it when work interferes with my hobby...

driftmonster · 07-13-2007, 10:51 AM
