So who's black MR2 did I see around Mercer-ish yesterday on the side of the road with the back left wheel all f***ed up?

Probably the newest MR2 owner.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

I hope it's a Gen 3, we all need parts.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

I passed an AW being put onto a flat deck tow truck beside SH2 Wellington/Petone last week some time.
