RedM Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 It was that young Johny Something at the Geneva Motor Show and he was say that Toyota lacked charisma and excitement. He said something along the lines of 'where's the next MR2? where's the Supra? That was an amazing car' etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 didn't that Jonny guy work for Max Power magazine? i'm sure he did? Yes, although I didn't remember him from me reading it... "My background is motoring journalism," says Jonny. "I've always been in car magazines, really. I started off on a mag about vintage, customised VWs. From there I went on to contract publishing for Car magazine – brochures for Range Rover, advertorials for Rolls Royce, that kind of thing, did some interesting side stories and things, things for British Touring cars. "After that I went on to be features editor of Revs magazine, working back on modified cars, then worked for Max Power, then on Car magazine. I'm a freelance writer now, and I still write for all of those people." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 well i'm pissed and i never heard him say it. the mr2 is a shit car any way lol PMSL, most MR2's would have you car for breakfast mate. Can't go calling a car sh*t because you don't like it. There are a lot of cars i don't like... M3's, Impreza's, new evo's etc but i can hardly call them sh*t.

Scott Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I thought all cooper S's were supercharged. The Worx one just has a bigger supercharger plus some other bits and bobs. Same with the brabus etc. Maybe the new ones are turbo charged but i haven't heard anything about it. Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 well i'm pissed and i never heard him say it. the mr2 is a shit car any way lol Im not sure you can be calling MR2s that when you drive a white NA with a Veilside kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the MKII Mini Cooper S came out in 2007 they've been turbo rather than supercharged. =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Haggas Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I was talking with Tiff Needell on Saturday about the top gear bit he did with the black Supra and the underground car park.He said how good he thought the Supra was and remembered the shoot very well. So there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
