 Mileage: 115,000 miles

Our MR-2 is a stock 1987 Mk 1 version.   It has clocked 115,000 miles and still
runs perfectly.   The only modification is a 400 watt,  9 speaker sound system.
The sub-woofer is capable of giving the passenger a nice lower back massage.

Last year, when my son got too big to autocross the Lotus anymore, he started 
running the MR-2 in a large, competitive C-stock class.   This year, he racked 
up 4 event wins and finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th in three different championship 
points series.    When the Esprit's motor gave up the ghost,  I started 
sharing the MR-2 with him... except I ran it in A-Street Prepared.   Better 
than giving up all my pointspart way through the season.   The little skutter 
managed 3 outright event wins, 4 second place finishes and (combined with the 
Esprit's points) won the series championships in two points series and second 
place in a third.   In A-Street Prepared!       In a race around the living 
room, a Chihuahua will beat a Thorobread everytime.   It's a great little car.
