Hello all!
I've been watching MEV developments for quite some time, as I'm a kit car enthusiast. I'm currently studying mechanical engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago. My automotive past from start to finish:
2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 5-speed (silver, black interior) [no more]
2001 Honda S2000 (silverstone, black / red interior) [no more]
2003 Mini Cooper S (indy blue with white "viper" stripes, blue and grey interior [for sale]
1992 Kawasaki EX-500 (dark silver)
2001 Kawasaki EX-250 (yellow) [no more]
2006 Honda S2000 (laguna blue pearl, black interior)
I also have an Austin Healey 3000 kit car sitting in our shed back on the farm where I grew up. My uncle bought it back in the 1980s as a retirement project, but after he was tragically killed in a freak accident working around his house, my father had it shipped to our farm to keep it in the family. This will be my big project once time, money, and space allow.
Until then, I've had my eyes on all the models here, but the exocet looks very appealing. I think it might be easier (as far as legality) to get registered and insured here in Illinois than the other options, and if so, I intend to talk my brother into getting one as well.
Sorry to write so much! I'll try to keep it brief here on out!
