Back when the 240-Z first came out a buddy of mine and I each bought one.
His wife took a liking to his car and would take it every chance she got
when he wasn't looking. In order to get her to keep her cotton-picking
hands off of his car, he bought her an X1/9. Fun little car. A little
anemic, but it handled really well. That mid-engine design gave it really
low polar moments of inertia. Damn thing was one of the most tossable
(street) cars I ever drove.

The inoperable headlight motors, and the water mains to the front are
weighty.
The one sitting out back is, um, ... lighter?... yeah, that's it....
