I sent GTSSportCoupe an email, as I could not find a pix. His answer:
"Hi Tom,
Haha! Yeah, I noticed that the other day actually. That is my old car. I was semi tempted to buy her back. I've been really missing having the ability to go into the back country.

Glad you still have your Terc! Sounds like she is being treated very well indeed.

My project of the last few years has been my 87 Toyota MR2. Here are some pics of it: http://s689.photobucket.com/albums/vv25 ... Coupe/MR2/ I've heavily modified it, and it is a real blast to drive now. I've got too much $$ into it though...

I also own a 95 Nissan Maxima SE which is our family car. I truly love this car for it's power, comfort and reliability. These are really great cars in their own right, and due to the sheer number produced are very affordable now.

I've recently been looking with envy at Toyota Landcruisers. I think this will likely be the next step for me. Either I'll keep my MR2 and buy an older diesel landcruiser (BJ60 or HJ60), or sell the MR2 and buy a newer landcruiser (FZJ80). Not sure exactly when this will happen, but I look forward to the day that I can drive into the back country again. My son is 3.5 years old now, so I'll probably hold off on buying a cruiser until he is old enough to accompany me exploring the back country.

oh man, the pic of the MR2 with a child seat in the passenger seat is pretty funny. i can just imagine the car hugging corners as it speeds down a narrow road on the side of a mountain while the babe sleeps soundlessly.

i have a friend in duncan who buys and sells RHD land cruisers and knows them inside and out. i'll pass the info to you via PM, tom, if you want to pass it on to GTSSC.
