Default Anyone know "Dino", 1st gen turbo MR2 owner?

I was in TN this weekend, driving "The Dragon" (an 11 mile section of US129 that runs from Tennessee to North Carolina. It boasts 318 curves .) and there was a MR2 group there. Along one of the side roads, this red MR2 with Mark1 engine swap and turbo (? don't know much about MR2s) is behind me. I decided to turn it up several notches and he was with me the whole time....and we were pushing the cars hard. Anyway, I talked to him and he's from Williamsburg. I didn't know if he is on this board or not. If so, if anyone knows him, he's a cool guy and can drive the wheels off that car. That MR2 was nice and very quick.

well, if you guys see him, ask him about his run with a Silver S2000 in TN. It was a good time.

I wouln't say highly modified since it just has an upgraded turbo and better boost control. But yea, he is an awesome dude, that Geek guy isn't that bad either, LOL.

There were some cars ahead of me going fast, but not pushing it. So, I would slow down and let them get a couple hundred yards ahead and then hit it. Deno and I would catch up to them in no time (we were hitting the road hard) and then slow up and do it all over again. There were a couple S2000 (unmoded) and MR2s behind us and we were leaving them behind as well. Afterwards, when I saw him at the rest stop, there wasn't any shit talking; we just BS'ed about our cars, mods, and the driving. It was cool. If you guys see him, tell I said whats up.
