This evening - in Clevedon Mazda.

Looks good - and keenly priced at about £15k.

Cue all the hairdresssing gags! (Sortie 10 is bald as a coot, though)

I have fond memories of 4 1/2 years in my "5" - fab handling and just the right amount of power (from the 140 bhp 1.8 - I saw 135mph roof down in France, it was a long downhill straight, and there was a hurricane force tail wind...) for fun. Still miss the 5 a lot - and my current Z4 is not quite as rounded a package. The new MX is slightly larger, so a lardy Sortie should have more space for his beer belly.

No prizes for guessing where I'm going on Saturday! and if Clevedon don't oblige with a test drive, I'm sure the petrol heads at Williams will.
