I've been looking at a project to play with for a while, another Coupe being one option. Then got to thinking about cars from my youth which I never managed to own, and started looking close to home for something. This popped up on my radar, a local car all its life, so had to have it. It's home now, so now I need to make some garage space before I start on it.

Arrh, Toyota's version of the X1/9.
A great car and, I believe, almost as much fun as an X1/9 to drive. Looks lovely! I am a bit bias towards the X1/9 for obvious reasons but in reality, the MR2 was a more modern version and I cant help but think that if Fiat had continued to develop the car with facelifts/engines etc, the MR2 would have been more or less the result. I was once travelling through France and passed one on the way to the ferry, we acknowledged each other then an hour later, he drove past me in the ferry queue... while I was trying to get mine to start (well known for hot start issues) I still like them though, enjoy!

I had looked at the X19 as a project, and another Coupe, 205 GTI, Lotus Elite, TR7, MGB..... Can you tell I'm easily distracted
