time to remove the hardtop for good?
Well, time to find somewhere to store the hard top for good anyway...won't fit in the loft
It might, if I had a loft
I've moved from T.C. Matt & am now residing in sunny Swindon....Swindon had done away with all its fixed speed cameras, I knew there was a reason for moving there

How did it go? What are you looking at? Did you buy it? 
Hello, it went very well thanks mate. It's a 93 K-Reg 1.6 S Special, 85k on the clock, shed loads of old bills and MOT's and generally in very tidy condition. I took it out for a good run, and everything seemed spot on, so came him a hundred, going to collect it tonight and to pay him in full.
Only snag is that it has some bloody horrid Lexus lights on it and some 17's!
But they'll be up for sale/swaps asap and it'll look lovely again!So, when do you get yours mate?
Only thing is its a few hundred miles away, so i cant even go see it until i have the cash to purchase
No lexarse on this one 
and some nice 15's! haha, I expect pics tomorrow mate. Well, the time has come (Almost!!) and I'm having second thoughts about getting a '5..
I still really want one, but i dont know if i could live with one, as an only car. The other thing i'm considering is a bargetastic 2.6 V6 Audi A4 Quattro, so plenty of space, comfort, but clearly not as much fun as the '5!
What should i do???

Just get one. Its not like you'll be contractually obliged to keep it if you're not getting on with it. I'd imagine that if you get something a little more sanitised you'll be wondering 'what if?'. Fow what its worth I find the five more than acceptable for the daily grind. Coming from an Elise, it feels like a limo. Think early 90's hot hatch in terms of comfort/noise. Its perfectly acceptable.I still really want one, but i dont know if i could live with one, as an only car.

Barge + MX5 = win

I think you can probably guess what response this is going to get from a MX5 forum 
Bear in mind running costs MX5 = cheap.
A4 quattro = a more complex piece of kit and more costly parts.
FYI, my 2000MY 4.2 A6 Quattro had to be put out of it's misery last year = running a bargain barge is great until you're looking down the barrel of a £2.5k transmission repair...

Another thing is the Audi is cheaper..
If I end up with the Audi, I'll still end up getting a '5 at some point! I've drove one before and loved it. Man, this is a hard decision!

Well, due to one or two things that have occured recently I have had to fore-go the purchase of the 5 in favour of something that seats a few more people.
I'm still hoping to pick one up at some point though, maybe just as a weekend/track slag car.
If I had to get rid of the '5 for a more "practical" car, I'd go for my old steer: DC2 ITR.I'm still hoping to pick one up at some point though, maybe just as a weekend/track slag car.
