All that damage and not a mark/scratch/crack on the windscreen - just shows how good a crash structure those 'A' pillars are.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

As those beardy t**ssers pointed out on Reverse Gear this week MR2 when pronouced in french sounds very similar to merde!

Geoff Just imagine the outrage when the MR2 forum finds out you have broken a perfect example of a MR2 for parts.

Bit of pub trivia here - they actually had to rename the car to the "Toyota MR" in France for exactly that reason.
MR2 in French would be pronounced Em-Air-Deux, which as you rightly say, sounds uncomfortably close to merde in French.
"What do you drive?"
"A Toyota Turd!"

"The heap of poo in front is a Toyota"
Well in that case I say "get the f**k outta the way then!!!" :lol:
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...! :P

I'd say it was perfectly named then! Geoff got the best one, better to have the one that is a dessert than one that's pretending to be an Elan, 355 or Boxter :lol:
