Last weekend my wife and I went to the Tail of the Dragon in Southern Tennessee w/ the MR2 club. Fri. & Sat. it rained so we went into Gatlinburg for some site seeing. We stopped at Cooter's Garage (Cooter from the TV show Duke's of Hazzard. The day we went, the guy that played Cletus Hogg was there and we ended up meeting him and talking w/ him....a very nice & down to Earth man.) Then we visited the Ripley's Believe it or not Museum and also the Star Car Museum. Here is a link to my Webshots album. I know I didn't take the Type R....but the first few pics are of the R LOL!

These pics are from the Dragon itself. People stand out and take your pic while driving then post it on they're website (http://www.killboy.com)for to buy later. I'm the red MR2 on the 3 top/bottom pics:

This is a video clip taken by the owner of the MR2 board pointing out towards the front of the car. It should give you an idea what the Dragon is like....but it does not convey the severity that it really has. Enjoy!
