Yeah, I picked out the MK2 for her (it was supposed to be her car). But it broke down on me 2 or 3 times in the first week (all issues sorted). And she and my parents realized she needed something that would reliably start every day to get her to school. We also realized the bass drum she plays in the school band wouldn't fit in the MR2 so it was all part of a devious strategy to add another midengine rwd vehicle to my garage, lol.
She got side swiped a few weeks back by some guy in a red vette (who didn't stop) so it's been in the shop. Thank god for full coverage.
Long term plan for the Cooper is to prep it for STX, or semi prep it. I'm not expecting it to be a competitive car since it is an automatic soft top. Auto aside, it's a blast to drive, steering response is very similar to when my MR-S was stock.

Ah, he was probably so old he didn't even know he hit anyone...
Sorry about the probs, but glad you got things sorted and insurance is covering. -
Welcome to M/A, you'll find it's a great place. Tell your sister she can also join.
Yeah, and what is it with Corvette drivers anyway?..... Must have been smoking something.

No worries, Nathan and the rest of the crew run a tight ship.

well the wing isn't on frame yet, but I do have a MA decal between the vents that you gave me.
For now she should just be doing auto-x so roll bar isn't an issue, if she gets serious about racing, i think a first gen miata with a manual would be a better platform to track (because, who cares if you put a miata into a wall ) Same reason I still won't track the Spyder, i'm not willing to write it off.
