How about a race with mother tunnies facelift estate, 4 up, with 2 dogs in the boot?  :D

You coming in Mum's car then?  ::)  ::)  ::) ;)

Nah the 4 potter needs a decent run, it been doing a 20 mile daily commute for ages.

Fact remains i would rather drive a big heavy slow saloon, than a mid life crisis hairdressers car mx5

 ::) ;D

Just goes to show you wouldn't know a good drive if it jumped up and bit you on the bum ::)

I did try and sit in a MX5 once, did not go well  ;D

Couldn't you get your head in it? ;D ;D ;D

There's only two things I can say need improving on the MX5. It needs more power which can be done by bolting on a super charger or turbo and the boots very small, not much you can do about that but I have been very happy with it since I bought it :)

Don't worry Pete Tunnie can't ride his bike long either  ;D

They do handle ok, even with Petes poor driving style......but part of that is due to the low power output so its difficult to get yourself into trouble when applying the power.

Pretty piss poor in a straight line though as they are pretty tame on the output side with the 1.6 only managing a 0-60 of 9.6 seconds (terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tired) with the (much better setup) 1.8 just edging 9 seconds.

I'd have thought they were more intended for the twisties than the outside lane.  ;) Wind in your hair etc etc  :y  :y  :y
