In the mini, doesn't it get annoying having to reach over past the speedo in the middle of the car to press the cruise control button? seems like a pretty stupid place to put it no?

Sone · 4 Mar 2009 at 12:19

is that cruise control? could be dash light maybe

Specs?

Fairly sure its cruise, its the same button in bmws. It would be in about the right position if it were left hand drive. But they obviously haven't bothered changing it for the right hand drive version, must be a pain to use.

It's to change the brightness of the dash. The cruise control buttons (if the option is selected) will be on the steering wheel.

Since it's still completely stock for now:

2.0 Turbo 185hp 263Nm @2300rpm and a rather pleasant 35mpg

Its got full Automatic climate control & Cruise control. It's still running the standard clarion double din head unit with 6 disc changer, which i will be keeping. At present i only intend to replace the standard speakers and bypass the head unit amplifier with a new one in the boot. In the future i will upgrade the interior from the grey velour to either black or beige leather along with the burr walnut dash and door cappings.

Its been in the family for nearly 11 years now, and has always been very reliable, and well serviced. My dad replaced it with a BMW 1 series as he was pushed into getting a smaller car, which is why i have inherited the saab.

My new car, picking it up Thursday.

Toyota MR2 TF300 Roadster (number 128).

Mikey · 8 Mar 2009 at 17:14

That exhaust looks funny on the bumper - looks like an aftermarket fit?

Ripper · 8 Mar 2009 at 17:57

Nah its the original spec.

mjt · 9 Mar 2009 at 21:50

agw_01 · 9 Mar 2009 at 22:39

What, the jap plate made to fit the plinth?

mrk · 15 Mar 2009 at 16:33

What an amazing day today has been! the neighbours are out washing their cars at the same time, a great day watching people play with their boats in the water at the hard, a cool drive afterwards along the waterfront

GinG · 16 Mar 2009 at 16:32

Nice photo, wish I had taken a photo of my car yesterday, was such an awesome day weather wise! Still didnt manage to wash it though...poor thing!

It's not a Jap size plate though and it doesn't fit the plinth.
