broomie Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 MR2 all the way mate,,you want us to import one lol I did PM you about 3 days ago to ask you that! Obviously that would rule out the (UK Spec) but not a prob for the right car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 mate, don't bother with the FTO - please don't. Although we've had nothing major wrong with ours (by ours I mean my parents) I hear horror stories from lots of close mates/owners, and they're not all they are made up to be. Mr2 - much better car IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
