Replacement for my RX-7 is...

[flat_steve]

As some of you know I recently sold my GenIII RX-7...



and its replacement is a 2001 MX-5 1.8 sport








It's not the sort of thing I'd have ever gone for until I bought my girlfriend a nice black mk1 a year ago and I realised you don't need wads of power to have fun!

Good choice, I also have a hankering for a '5 when the 'liner (eventually) goes....... one day...

You'll get bored!!!

[fidgits]

hmm, interesting switch...

[flat_steve]

Nah it'll be ok I already know I like 'em 'cos of my girlfriend's and I've already had a few enjoyable top-down days

[franv8]

I can vouch for the fun an MX5 gives, despite perhaps not having the best top trumps power figure...

...handily it also makes life a little less likely to suffer any disasterous license blotting behaviour!

It's definately slower, but a cool car none the less. Less chance of getting ticketed in this age og gatsos, and such like... Are we running a sweepstake as to how long before talk of forced induction is floated about?
