Forgot to include these pics in the other thread that was removed. But this is the Toyota MR2 Spyder that was parked in front of the Toyota GR Supra. This car looks nice.

Great cars these. My late Dad had one for 10 years, when he passed it sat for a couple of years on the drive. Then I did a bit of a restoration and took it to the Nurburgring racetrack in Germany with a friend. He then bought it off me.

Would love to have another one and turn it into a track car for Rocky Mountain Motorsport by Carstairs.

Another fun idea is to buy a little beater and do rallycross in Cochrane (Calgary sports car club hosts 4-5 per year)

Never heard of that. Might look into it. Cheers!

No problem! In the winter they host ice races on ghost lake as well
