With well over 32,000 registered members and growing, MR2OC is one of the largest Toyota MR2 Owners Clubs in Europe and probably the world.
Like all clubs, our heart is our forums, where members chat about anything and everything, from the latest gadget they have just put in their MR2, to discussion on who won the last Apprentice. Our forums are busy and active, and our members welcome new faces. If you are an MR2 enthusiast, or just want to have some friendly chat with people of similar interests, then the MR2OC forums are the place to visit.
But the MR2OC is much more than just a forum. In June 2009 we switched over to the second incantation of our club website. Our previous website had over 300,000,000 hits before the switch over, but the website itself wasn’t offering the flexibility required for such a large club. With the launch of the new site, we see many new features coming online, as well as all the popular features from the old site still staying.
Our new site offers traders and individuals opportunities to buy and sell through our marketplace. We have options for members to become an MR2OC Registered Trader, and advertise on our forums; Business can rent banner space and advertising packages; individuals can buy and sell their items in our classifieds section.
The new website offers a wealth of information and resource content. Not only are our forums bursting with interactive feedback, advice and tips; but also our ‘Know Your 2’ knowledge base contains a vast wealth of information useful to the MR2 enthusiast and amateur alike.
MR2OC has a great club spirit. Forums, mean you’re never more than a few clicks away from company, and we find that a large proportion of our members become regular visitors on the site.
So we have a fabulous new website, and a great membership made up of great people ... but of course we are much more than just a website! Our members host and attend many ‘club meets’ right across the UK, and sometimes abroad. We regularly attend the large car exhibitions such as the Japanese Auto Extravaganza, as well as hosting our own local and national meets. Ask any of our members who have been to any of the club meets and they will tell you what a great and enjoyable time they are.
