We have a great time buying this car yesterday, the previous owner has spent a whole lot of £'s doing the car up to the standard it is today, but wants to buy a house so it had to go, a real shame for him. He watched the car disappear down the road!!
The test drive was about 1 hour long due to the traffic, we did fast roads, slow moving traffic, tight corners all in the rain/wet roads and the car never missed a beat, no sliding, skidding etc. It boosts early in the rev range and pulls hard up to the red line no smoke or anything silly like that. A real pleasure to drive. I sort of agree about the side skirts being a bit square but it looks so nice I wouldn't want to change them.
Doors open via a solenoid under the wing mirrors, and there are a couple of secret overrides should the battery fail, and the wing mirrors are also indicators which is cool. Quite jealous because mine is off the road and the Mrs has 2 cars to play with for the moment!!
"Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But, rather to skid in sideways........
totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"

dan_harris all Ferrari MR2's should be burned at the stake, sorry just hate the things.
My point wasn't that they're a good thing, it was just about innovative doorhandles
They are inside the vent :thumbup1:2tongues The Ferrari MR2 is up for sale at £12k:ohmy:
