Robbie, my son has just brought an old 89 corolla gt. What an awesome little car .No rust and still plenty of poke and style . Would love to take it out and give it a drive myself. Will try and get some shots.

I can sell you one if you like. I have one that I haven't used in some time.

Haven't done much to the mr2 in the last couple of months. I have replaced the front indicators to clear ones.
Things to do: Upgrade stereo, add amp to power the rear speakers behind seats.[came with two subs]
Possibly add cold air box and snorkel.

Part of my coast to coast road trips.Baden and i did the epic Wanganui to Napier [gentle annie].
The trip saw us leave Waitarere Beach at 8am , drove up the Paraparas and by 10.30 we were having breakfast with the skiers at Ohakune.
From there we drove up the road to Horopito Motors [Smash Palace].
We paid $10 each and spent the quickest 2 1/2 hrs of my life. The place is incredible and my photos only touch the surface of this "world heritage site" or so it should be. I was even able to pick up 2 s/s tail pipes for the Trueno in their modern car corner.
From there we embarked on the main reason for the trip...... Gentle Annie. Or the trip from Taihape to Napier . This took us around 2 1/2 to 3 hours .You could do it quicker ,but stopping and photographing is a must in this part of the country.
The road is all sealed and has very little traffic on it ,will it did for us and is truely a great driving experince.
We arrived in Napier around 6pm and booked into the Toad hall backpackers, right in the middle of Town .
2hrs later saw me having a well earned slow roasted lamb shank and a few beers ,watching the All blacks destroy the Aussies. What away to cap off a truely awesome day.
The following day was cloudless, so we decided to drive back along gentle annie in the opposite direction . Either way is good as each other.
Once we hit state highway # 1 .We drove south homeward and turned off at Otara rd, just north of Ohingaiti. A good alternative and a road i hadnt driven before and home before 4pm perfect.
I would rate this trip a must and is easily done in a weekend.
Photos to follow.
