hello from another newbie

northernboy · 01-06-2008, 01:36 AM

Hi all,

Honoured to be a part of this family of MR2 owners! I have an 89 NA with 125,000 mi, purchased two years ago. I haven't had any major problems with it other than slightly leaky t-tops (solved for the most part by kbox bushings) The car was Ziebart rust-proofed by the original owner so the dreaded tin worm has not plagued my MR2 as it has many others. (save for a little bit of rust around one rear wheel well) I'm 52, have never had more fun behind the wheel of a car save for my '60 MGA--love 'em both!

Welcome sir. More mature mr2 owners = more mr2s on the road for a longer period of time

How far north? Like you, another from the Great White North, the "wet coast," BC!
Thank-you all for making us newbies feel so welcome!

You'll eventually find that there is a whole contingent of you granola eating, tree hugging, wet coasters on this board.

PS: Pictures of said 2 are de rigeur for this board. The MG as well if you still have it.
