This video is for you die-hard MR2 enthusiasts out there! I drove my 1994 MR2 GT-S from Vancouver, Canada to Los Angeles, California in search of Bob Pham and his gorgeous collection of USDM Toyota MR2s. Turns out this man has fourteen of these mid-engined runabouts, most of which are in various stages of restoration, and a couple of them reserved for track use. Y'know, the reason we all love these cars in the first place.. because they are a blast to DRIVE! Hope you guys enjoy this one, we'll be releasing a full review/feature video on Bob's AW11 monster track car soon :D - Marcus

I don't have 14 MR2's... I only have one... But it's a pretty darn good one... '89 Super Red, T-Top, leather, pristine inside and out, less than 53K original miles. Drives like a new car. My second MR2... my first was a White' 86 I bought on Guam while in the Navy. Neither one is fast but they're both a blast to drive. My '89 is completely stock except for one thing which only an MR2 officionado would notice... My wheels are from the supercharged version. The car has appreciated in value by around $2000 above what I paid for it two years ago... And I overpaid for the car because I really wanted another MKI MR2. Great video... New subscriber.

@ianedmonds9191 9 месяцев назад

I had a rev3 and after t-cutting it and polishing it back to the original red it was the best looking car I've ever seen. I kept it polished and waxed for a while to keep it from fading but it got very rusty on the sills. Was very sad about that. Had to let it go. It had done about 150,000 miles but the engine and the interior and the t-top glasses were still in mint condition. I still had the bags for the t-top and everything. It had an annoying aftermarket alarm on it so when you started it you had to bump under the glovebox for it to start. Loose connection in the Immobiliser I guess. Beyond that it was a great car. New clutch. replacement sports cat. Big bore 3.5 inch Janspeed exhaust and A K+N intake supplied but not fitted. I took it off after it failed emissions 2 years in a row. First year it passed with a sock in the air filter next year I decided enough was enough. The K+N made a great noise but it did rob some torque from lower down. It may have made some top end power but it was marginal. I missed the noise more than anything. Luv and Peace.
