Modified Toyota MR2 Mk2

Ryan's awesome MR2 has appeared in numerous publications, including a major feature in a recent issue of Max Power.

No pictures really do justice to the car's nuvola blue alfa flip paint; it's an amazing shade of light blue that shimmers and shines as different colour lights reflect off its surface. 

We strongly recommend that you look out for one of its regular car show appearances so that you can see it in the metal.  We saw it in the Max Power top 100 and Ryan's MR2 may well feature at the Ultimate Street Car event at Santa Pod on 5th-8th August 2005.  You can't miss it, and you wouldn't want to.  You can vote online for Ryan's car here
