Mr2 Turbos's

[Rash@R.A.Motors]

Received a deposit for my tubby over the weekend... chap was supposed 2 collect today but me gets a phone call in the morning and it seems when the buyer rang up for insurance quotes he forgot to mention that it was an import turbo - so result - insurance quote of £700 scrapped... new quote...

Good to see you gained some monies then... That guy should have checked first.. and yes.. All the MR2 Turbo's are imports...

they did not release them here....

Speaking of MR2's... did that bloke with the Tubby im after mention if he has used optimax for the past few years?

£2600 I take it he's a youngster then...? Strange he didn't realise it when he mentioned Tuirbo to them on the phone, or did he omit that somewhat essential info ;)?

Fizz - i'm not 100% sure to be honest... will ask him next time i ring...

Dame - the lad himself looked 15 but i'm sure he must have been older as he was driving a Calibra Turbo and wanted something 'quicker' :D to be honest i dont think it was his fault as he said he gave them the reg first when they quoted him and he thought they would know on their computers that it was a Turbo but it doesnt say on the V5 so i doubt their computer system will know if it is a turbo or not......

Ah, that's fair enough. It's a pity the computer system do not list the car properly, mine comes up as a GT Import - that's it, no reference to Turbo or anything. I had to reinforce to Elephant several times that it was a Turbo and not an N/A!

TBH the Calibra Turbo is pretty quick already, I remember seeing 0-60 times of around 6.4 - 6.7. In reality, I wouldn't have thought the MR2 would have felt that much quicker.....

I wouldn't have thought the MR2 would have felt that much quicker

After going for a test drive HE said it felt quicker than his cally -

BUT then again it may have been my driving :D :D

0-60 in 5.2 as opposed to 6.7 is a BIG difference mate...trust me....
