I'm new to the whole MR2 scene as well, just recently bought one (see avatar) which was nicely done up by the previous owner (had all kinds of mods on it, high flowed turbo, greddy boost controller, oil/air seperator etc.)
Hope to see all of you on a cruise sometime. Mine is a GT Import, and I'm really happy with it. Nice to see so many nice MR2s running around like the 2 brothers here.
