Hey people, I'm Dylan and I'm from my mummy's tummy, but currently living, as always, in Cornwall UK. I drive a MK2 XR2, it's my 4th one so far becasue I just can't get enough and have never found a car I prefer to drive more, it makes me smile whenever I'm behind the wheel  Here it is  |

Cheers fellas, it is uber clean, and completely solid - Couldnt quite believe it when it went through MOT only needing a CV boot after the last one ran out in 2007 and it being kept in a garage just sitting there..! Plus it was super CHEAP  With complete history. I travelled a fair few miles to pick it up with a trailer last month then gave it a full service, a wash, polish, wax, and slapped MOT on it so Jobs a guddun |

Too right you don't, specially ones that havent been ragged and chavved up in some way. Keeping it standard but may lower it and poly bush it at some point in the future and add some cloth Recaro front seats. I did whack a white & blue leather Recaro in the drivers side for now (how selfish of me)! But only cost me a tenner and is mega comfy  |

Dylan mate, you made it on here! Told you you'd like it Thinking about it, can't remember when I last saw an XR2 in these parts either, well done for keeping the dream car of my student days alive. |

Yes me ansome I did make it! Thank you very much for the recommendation It was my dream car also so I feel very fortunate to have had 3 more in the past and now this one. I went out today armed with camera and took a few shots, I think maybe I was trying too hard as they didn't come out well, though by the looks of things my camera may be faulty 'tut'... But here are some of the pics;         |

Bethel? Small world.. That's where my folks live and I am there often being only up the road in Eden kind of land  Don't see many Cav's around anymore so will spot you a mile off most likely, & to my knowledge I am the only one in the area with an XR2 on the road, there was one the same colour as mine going around but every panel on it was battered and fillered - He offered it to me for £700 a couple of weeks after I got mine for just over half the price |

The Cav is off the road for the winter having a couple of bits done, but will be back again come Spring. It's a white Gsi so yeah, stands out a fair bit Can't believe how clean your Fezza looks though! |

Ah right, getting it hot for the summer eh.. The Fez is a bit too good to be true and I am so fortunate to get it so cheap.. If you see it on me folks drive knock the door and you can have a proper look because you've got to see it to believe it |

What you're doing looks ace mate, not keen on molesting old XR2s though but each to their own. The bit I'm after for my XR2 is that front valance... That is missing from yours  Mine's got a big gash out of it, not sure how it got there but it looks cack and I want it to be perfect ;D Guess I'll be searching the bay that is E soon... |
