[MR2] An MR2 reference

I may hold the record for the fastest spin in an MR2.

Having failed to find any road near the dealer with more than a 40MPH 
limit I went back, dropped my wife off, and took the dealer out.  We 
came out on a roundabout (traffic circle in the USA IIRC) and I gave it 
some power.  270 degrees, and reverse into the middle.

That was probably a 1997 or 98 model; Japanese import with a trick 
exhaust.  My guess is the tyres weren't anything special.  I didn't buy 
that one, and I've now clocked up something like 40,000 miles in the one 
I did buy with no problems.
