My MR was made in Japan in December '86, and was delivered to the port
of Drammen, Norway January 18, 1987. It's first owner purchased it March
24th. After that, two more had the pleasure of owning it, until I bought
it December 23, 1994 (nice X-mas present for myself...:-D).

 Other things:

 I thoroughly enjoy being an MR2-owner once again (I used to have a
 red '87 with the T-roof between 1988 and 1991). What I don't like is
 the huge amounts of money I spend on it... My current MR2 has eaten
 some $12,000 out of my pocket *after* I bought it (for $14,000)! It's
 really expensive being a car-owner in Norway.

 I'm the registrar for the MR2-register in NSK (Norsk Sportsvogn Klubb).
 Being a member of NSK, I get to see a lot of other hot cars - mostly
 English (Morgan, Austin Healey, Jaguar, Lotus, MG, Triumph etc.), but
 also Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati and a lot of others.

 During the summer I drive quite a few laps around Rudskogen, a track
 NSK rents from time to time.

 And roundabouts are huge amounts of fun in an MR2!
