those two pictures show them quite nicely, although I could do with pulling those down now, as I have a head-unit (only 1-Din

so half of the gaping hole is gone!!) in there now..

My mate was thrashing his Celica GT the other day, I was filming it.. (big big to upload.. 42mb) and he was doing over 100mph in 3rd gear, coming up for the redline.. changed into 4th, and the fuel light comes on... oh dear!

very thirsty..

a few minutes later, of much gentler driving.. the fuel light goes out again!

never came back on for the rest of the journey!!

Well, just doin' my bit for the MX-3 community, there ain' nowt worse than a forum that you post on and never get a reply... and things are really quiet. I really hate that, you know?

snellgrove · Post by **snellgrove** » March 6th, 2005, 2:05 pm

flippin' loving it

best car I've ever driven (and I've driven a fairly extensive amount of cars!!)

its such a drivers car compared to most, -its lots more fun, I find.. prefer it to Celica GT's, and stuff like that

I find it engages the driver a lot more, shorter gears.. quick steering response, and that gorgeous V6 powerplant roaring (quietly) away in front of you, which that sound that only a V6 can make.. -and its also silky smooth and generally great fun

went out for an absolute blat today, 2 celicas (my mates) and me... used quarter of a tank, in about 15 miles.. oops!

was fun though, a 205 with a big exhaust and alloys decided to take us on.. and lost pretty badly

lol. gd stuff. m only 19 so i coudnt afford to insure the v6. Went for the 1600 auto instead. I have 5 points on my liscense as it is, so i needed something to slow me down a bit. So i decided on an auto! Im pleased with it. Sometimes i wish i had gone for the v6, but i got my mini for speed!!!

Now i just cruise everywhere on me chrome 18's! lol. Gives people more time to look at me car!! lol Thats my excuse anyways!
