I'm glad you're keeping it going, I bet there's not that many on the roads in as good a condition actually. Is it now considered a classic?

I've got my old spare rig I'm tempted to try with CachyOS (Linux) at some point, which is a new kid on the block but seems to be highly regarded and good for gaming too.

10 years since the OP and MR2 currently at specialist again

CV joints need replacing, clutch is showing signs of needing replacing, so doing that too.

Car is generally running well, new wheels on it in the last year, I got ages out the old cheap set but they were basically shagged, car had issues with them on, replaced them and the issues vanished!


Edit - still needs a respray, can't really afford it ATM, hopefully in the next couple of years.

Had no issues at all, I think afterwards I disabled a couple of things that were re-enabled, like Windows Search indexing and that was about it.

If you don't want Microslop AI forced on you with the bugfest of Windows 11 I'd highly recommend it.

Thanks I'll have to do this, looks handy and buys me plenty of time, Win10 is bad enough, I CBA with 11, and Linux I'll inevitably get round to at some point.

Well, you have the winner I am Maximus
