Pizza collection in the mister2

Just got back from the wirral after collectioning @DavidBs MR2. I have to say I've driven a lot and owned a lot of these types of cars now, I've had a few Mk1 and mk2 mx5s and this is definatley more poised (from what I remember) The gearbox is so nice, handling is razor sharp and the engine is peppy. As with every 21 year old toyota all the electrics work and it just needs the air con sorting. It's been gassed but David said the fans aren't kicking in so maybe a fuse Bruce the bull dog enjoyed the drive home with the roof down

yeah those bumpers are 500 quid on their own!

There is a guy I know called Lee who specifically breaks Mk1 TTs so not end of world if you get it, he will have pumps n hazard switches in stock ☺️

Looks like the pedal cover to me if the next photo is anything to go by. That one I roffled earlier in the year had a snapped pedal, it was surprisingly not expensive to fix tbf

Loving the mosaic wing!

this looks a good'un Si, Late model 225 quattro not daft miles not molested just a bit of a dent on the sill 2005 Silver Audi TT 1.8T quattro 2dr for sale for £1,795 in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire (autotrader.co.uk)

My only experience of a KV6 was a black ZT back in 2011, i took in px on my 328i sport. It was nice i drove it to pitlochery to pick up an e46 330ci and my bird at the time drove it back . good memories THink it did about £100 in fuel (Back then!)

Fair enough I just thought to prevent head aches down the line they are good when working but like you say, it's getting rarer and rarer they are properly with the newest examples being over 15 now. They are good cars though and peanuts to fix when the common issues occur. I'll keep an eye out 👍

Any reason you have your heart set on a quattro Si? As you know I've had a few* of these and the fwd ones which came out circa 2003 seem to be the best of the bunch in terms of reliability iMe, no quattro issues. Better on fuel just a 5 speed box as a compromise but no less fun to drive!

Guy come to pick a set of wheels up off me yesterday and restores sierras for a living. This is his daily. Can't belive he isn't on here 😅

There is an option on carly coding called 'us spec sidelights' or something along those lights, which will illuminate the indicator bulbs albeit dimly - not my cuppa, but also see a lot of scene kids running round with them near me too.

I went looking at an e46 today after seeing your bargain I couldn't help myself! Turned out to be a right nail, even for me. Struggled to go in to gear and the EML was on and it was in limp mode! 318 convertible too so it probably wouldn't pull you out of bed at full power!

One of my (many) old TTs. Sadly looks like it's ready for the bridge now 😢 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/414218877330551/?ref=facebook_story_share When I had it in 2018

Good to see my diagnosis was correct 😬

had one almost identical back in the day when you could get a mint 330ci sport for 1500 quid ... thems were the days! Topaz blue is a lovely colour and love the alcantara

Wow that is cheap, I think at last count ive owned 38 E46's? most of them coupes. That doesnt seem in bad shape for a 20 year old car. this thread maybe of interest The lack of running will probably be the elbow on the throttle body to the airbox. they crack and perish, most of them on that age are taped up , but not an expensive part from BMW.
