MY first proper race car was an AW11 :)

Ahh.  Nice.

WTF how much?!?!?!?!?!?!

I am living this dream right now. Albeit very slowly. I have all the parts. I just don’t have enough time. https://pripyat.smugmug.com/Car-Nerdery/MR2-Again-WCPGW/ Now that the Elise is sold I’m hoping to get this thing back together....in this lifetime?

Nonsense! Nonsense I tell you!

I saw one of these advertised for £2k and drove to the dealer expecting to buy it.  Got there and learned that the dealer wasn’t bright enough to know the difference between “6 speed manual” and “Shitty SMT”.  Grrr.

Ok, ok, I’ll go to the barn and work on it this weekend.

and this year it got GT28/60

2.5 ohm resistor, a boss kit and you’re minutes away from gracing this with a suitably tasteful Momo steering wheel.
