About Me

On this page I’ll write a little about me, from my humble beginnings as a complete automotive noob back in my younger years, to now… still a complete automotive noob, but with a car I believe is worth writing about!

But anyway, my name’s Jay and thanks for visiting JDMR2.com!

A little about myself. I’m 22 years old and I manage to fund my MR2 “addiction” as a Front-End Web Dev. I also like to think of myself as a Photoshop whizz, and I occasionally dabble in Photography too. You can view some of images of my MR2 on the Gallery page.

Humble Beginnings

I’ll take you back to the days when life was easy. Growing up in Northamptonshire, England, many automotive landmarks were literally on my doorstep: Silverstone, Rockingham Speedway and Santa Pod Raceway. Due to the convenience of such locations, growing up as a fan of cars was naturally inevitable.

As a child, nothing excited me more than spending a day or two watching some of the world’s fastest cars burn rubber at the local drag-racing strip, Santa Pod Raceway. A home to many of the country’s greatest car related events, I would spend hours admiring the sheer variety of cars and their modifications, in the hope of one day joining the ranks with a car of my own.

During such car events, there were always two marquees that stood out to me head and shoulders above everything else; Subaru Imprezas, and the second generation Toyota MR2. I knew one day I would own at least one of these. This website is dedicated to my Toyota MR2.

“Where’s the engine gone!?” Thanks, sis!

Enjoy!
