This will be mine on Saturday haha.

It can't all be about tuned Volvos and old Mercs, (I have juct picked up another Volvo 850 mind you) sometimes you need 550cc's of awesomeness to have a giggle.

Bike engine in the future I feel, given it does around 58 mph downhill.

Love it, much better than those boring gas guzzlers on here.

An mx5. Saw it on Facebook @Acme and it does look alright. Surprising that the guy wants to swap tbf
He needs to free up cash. He's taking my car + cash because it means he has a chunk of money in his pocket and still has something to sell. :)

I believe its the best offer he has had, and I can do it the soonest too.

Drove a 400 mile round trip in the MX5 today, 2-up with stuff in the boot and a hard top fitted on the way home, 40MPG. Decent! :)

They are frugal sat on the motorway. I averaged 39mpg over 700 miles going to the Dyno day last year followed by Cromer a week later.

Think about the mk1/mk2 swap hard. I understand your reasoning for swapping, but ultimately the mk2 is a better package.

Its fine, really. There is much more to the decision than which one drives better. I keep looking at MK1's wishing I had one instead of a MK2, and to me that is enough. It will bother me otherwise. :)

I have a thing for retro cool at the moment, as may be evident. The MK2 is too modern looking. :p
