Russ has to have my vote. Mostly because it's hard to find such a clean MK1 these days. Hopefully I can get my car ready for you guys in the next few months (if I don't put it in another ditch:P) and flirt with the likes of Russ's car.

[Mister2.2]

All 3 are pretty awesome. I would love to see more pictures of all cars including the interiors.

rofl.

[ni-sama]

Go Russ! If you saw what that thing looked like when he first picked it up it's hard to believe they're the same car. Props on the hard work. Post more pics Russ, I know you got them.

[TD06TRD]

DavidV gets my vote. Nothing like a purpose built MR2 that gets approval from japans best drivers.

[Hybrid10]
