MR2 Beauties! + Tag a 2 (56k burn)

Post by Redline »

This is the (official?) mr2 tag a 2 thread. feel free to add your own!

I love MR2s, with 3 sitting in my driveway, 2 of which are mine. I drive around Auckland a lot and take note of every sexy MR2 beast that's parked or driving by. I've taken some photos. Can anyone identify any of these lovelies? Or better yet, may the owner come forward?

Where in English we say "Arr" for the letter 'R', the French and Germans pronounce it like the English word "Air".

MR2 would therefore indeed be very close in pronunciation to the word "merde" (pronounced "Maird").

I've thought about this before, putting flyers on MR2s to promote the club.

Then again I don't know if this will actually put people off the club instead.

Besides, it looks a bit too spam-like, those flyers. Maybe the business cards is a better idea.

i roll up to the st lukes washworld in my red sw20 with a mint new paintjob after its accident. line up behind a green sw20 with a middle aged man washing it. along comes another gen 2 sw20 turbo with one rabbit ear behind me. 3 mr2s lined up at the car wash with my mate on his shitty motorbike.

both dudes, one white, one chinese did not know of the MR2ocNZ so i told them they had to come to the run on sunday and join the club or else i will be pissed off.
