tell me this spider is a bad idea

S2000 is a great convertible rear wheel drive with a great engine, if I ever sold the Maser it is where I would go.

RZ ??? Have you ever driven one?

 

[BennyD]

The issue is that buying a convertible can give a very poor projection of the owner, so how about we have a cool wall:

No, but since when was sub zero about actually driving?

What you mean is any car that is basically one up from a cut and shut - where the front of one car has been nailed to the back of another

While I did indeed say that, I was quoting Conaero, yeronnor!

Where does this fit in

I like the look of the MR2 , this one has potential but the garage selling it is trying to get out of the consumer rights act with a pretend no reserve action starting at £1950

Cracking value for money but a bit small and maybe as Phil puts it......a bit gay

 

[Wack61]

Lokks like i'm headed for the same ridicule as phil , i'm on the train going to look at a MX5 , the seller inspired that much confidence I have cash in my pocket and i've paid the £17 to add it on to my policy

Bit of a compromise as mrs wack likes the mk3 but it is a 2.0 sport

Downside I forgot my bose headphones so im listening on a set of poundlands finest, it's like being poked in the ear with a fork

I will check the kit thanks , scissors are expensive.

Seriously though , I love the 4200 but I don't enjoy driving it as much as I did the WRX , the 4200 has a lot more power but the WRX inspired total confidence

Never once did I put it into a bend wondering if I was going to make it

I've only ever had that much confidence in 2 other cars, a 205 GTi and a MX5

I do own a pinkish shirt I've never worn though , perhaps the day cometh

 

[highlander]

The MX5 is a cracking car, it does have a stereotype whiff about it though which is probably unfounded given most I see are driven by middle age men.....

....who want to be hairdressers?

You could always go for the red trousers, cravat and string back driving gloves look if you prefer wack

 

[spkennyuk]

Wait i think ive just spotted wack on his way back from collecting his mx5



But being serious for a moment. Enjoy the new car. Hairdressing image aside they always get great reviews for being a well planted drivers car. Enjoy

 

[Contigo]

Seriously anyone dissing an MX-5 is wrong, drive one, they are proper quality handling cars! Lighweight, brilliant Chassis, Rear driven and reliable. I'd honestly never not own one now so classic they are.

 

[Wack61]

Well that was bizzare the, guy met me at the station and he works for a company I used to deliver to and we have a colleague in common

Driving home in it now
