| You're out of order Geoff - I'm sat in the office watching the sunshine outside. I did the decent thing and told my buisness partner to go home and take his M/bike out. ________________________________________________________________________________ Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

| Great photos. Nice set of plates, . Soon be catching up with Sir Gerald Nabarro who had NAB 1 through to NAB 7 or 8 in the sixties, and who sort of started off the personalised plate idea. | |

| I seem to vaguely remember him in a Chris Huhne type scenario over a road accident. Didn't he say his secretary was driving? And didn't she turn out to be Christine Hamilton?

Nice little roadster, I imported a silver one from Belgium in 2000 then traded it for an upgraded one (limited slip diff and wider rear wheels) in Sable just like yours in 2003 and had that for 3 years too. Always a pleasure to drive, short or long distance didn't matter. Easier to park than a Kombi, but a struggle to sleep in! ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com Twitter: @AlpineGrove Facebook: facebook.com/alpinegrovetouringpark

Agreed - the Kombi is more practical to sleep and cook in but I love the MR2 when it's a sunny day, roof down whipping up and down dale, and as its 9yrs old now it didn't cost that much ________________________________________________________________________________ "You can check out any time you like but you can never leave"

| Is it a 'red' special edition?
The first weekend I had mine I went to Alton Towers with a friend, drove all the way with the roof down! ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com Twitter: @AlpineGrove Facebook: facebook.com/alpinegrovetouringpark

| Great pictures of the Dales. Also appreciate the MR2, lovely cars. I drive a 12 year old Celica which is fab, but not the vehicle for wife and german shephard on a touring holiday. We also took advantage of the sun on Tuesday, headed out beyond Knighton. When we met a road closed sign we ventured into the lanes across the Shropshire high plains to Newtown in mid Wales and back via Clun. Even found lying snow in the hills. Sun shining, little traffic, wonderful scenery = a grand day out. Just a squeek on the clutch to contemplate. | |

Yes - its the red special edition, with the red leather interior and red roof, looks great roof up or down and the driving position couldn't be more far removed from a Kombi - one virtually lying down, the other sitting bolt upright! ________________________________________________________________________________ "You can check out any time you like but you can never leave"

Nice. Sleek with the roof up, neat with the roof down, they really look great either way. Sunny spring days were my favourite, roof down to enjoy the sun and heater on to keep warm! I remember driving through London with the roof down one sunny New Year's Day, great way to clear a hangover! ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com Twitter: @AlpineGrove Facebook: facebook.com/alpinegrovetouringpark
