My bro spun his car out going round a corner on Sunday. No injuries other than damaged ego and damaged pocket. I took these pictures yesterday at the garage.

The insurance company say it is a write off, a bit of a nightmare considering the car is only just over a year old.

I test drove one of them before I bought the MX5, I thought it was very twitchy in the wet. Still, at least your brothers still in one piece

I know - gutted to find out they don't make then anymore. Toyota don't make exciting cars anymore (how can you have a F1 team and not one sporty car in your portfolio???)

Sad to see the MR2 like that - always fancied one (although, really wanted the old version with pop up headlights and a T-bar ;)

Toyota released some limited editions of those just as production stopped, so keep an eye out for those, worth asking about at the dealer.

No sporty cars, haven't they just released the Yaris SR?

We'll see Allan, but the car is pretty good. My head is turned by new cars like the TT and the new S but for what I paid for it (12k) nothing even comes close.......

The cars I like are out of my budget, but the Brabus wasn't. The MX5 was a great car but Jackie hated it, now we have a car we both like :D

Mind you she's never put her foot down yet, probably scare herself stupid and want to get shut the moment she does :clown:

I preffer the older version too. Think he's been looking at getting an A3 now. He wouldn't look at getting another mini after JC's in Aberdeen messed him about so much.

A3's are a bit dull though, gotta be something better out there?

What's his budget?
