I think you all need to give me much more credit, I'm not a noob to this driving malarkey. Far, far, far from it.You think not because you have never driven one over a bumpy road every day.
thanksthe MK3's dont have cruise but the later 3.5's do i think but they may be too expensive for you. Ours had heated leather seats and a very nice Bose sound system,
Oh really? See the thing putting me off the mx5 and the z4 mentioned below was the soft-top aspect. They're only ever a nice place to be when the top is down, otherwise they're too claustrophobic for me.I'd prefer to do bigger mileage in one of them than a hot hatch i think
You got me looking into hard tops and the z3 and everything now... potentially a contender, especially with the RWD aspect.Going to suggest a Z4 3.0i now
Wow! I'm hoping to do it all for about a grand, don't need new or top end parts really just whatever is floating around for cheap.All in I think I've spent about 3k on mods (labour, + cost of parts), I'm not handy with a spanner but wanted to go to a reputable tuner for Mini
My colleague said the same to me but I barely survive driving a car I think I'd be dead in a day on a superbikeThe only time I could genuinely say I had 'fun' on a longish commute was the 1000cc sports bikes I used to take in twice a week over summer to alleviate the 120 mile commute boredom..
But I'll still have my barge to swap in and out of whenever I need, so surely it'll retain the fun?Everyone is correct in saying the 'fun' will wear off almost immediately and all the obvious short comings will just annoy/irritate
the z4 useless in heavy rain or a slight bit of snow. i planted my foot in the rain in the z4 once. god my heart nearly exploded. car slid one way then the other whilst trying to go straight.
This is where I depart. I think we are at polar ends of the driving spectrum, but I appreciate the advice.
