My First 'Real' Car

Post by ThatWhiteMR2 »

Haha actually discovered you guys because Olaf served me today at a BP station and complimented my car, little did I know he was about to invite me into the world of MR2 owners.

Can't wait to meet more MR2 guys (already met a few who have stopped by to talk when I'm parked up somewhere), speaking of which, Olaf told me there was a meet on February 26th at 11:00am. I don't have Facebook so he couldn't invite me to the group, can anybody here give me all the info I'm gonna need to know to show up? :)

If you wanna have a look at mine anyway pop over to my Instagram, @thatwhitemr2, http://www.instagram.com/thatwhitemr2/, lemme know what ya think! She's sure as hell a lot more fun than my Sprinter I had before her hahaha.

Nope, I'm from around Johnsonville area however I am often in the Hutt, I've seen your wide body MR2 a few times and it looks gorgeous, I'd love to get an aftermarket bodykit for mine sometime. Looks clean man!
