My gf's planning on buying her first car.
I'm sponsoring, but only if she goes MX5 biggrin
irked I'm in a similar position, but mine's scared of driving anything 'sporty', so we're stuck with the Focus.
Pah. The Mrs drives mine everyday and she's only crashed it once.....

....thats not helping is it. Umm....

How about the fact that the engines not all that powerful really particularly in granny driving mode. And that after the OH drove a hire car for a day and has driven the Vectra she says she'd be more than happy to swap the MX5 for another one.

Helping? That's rubbing salt into the wound! smile

Still it could be worse, even though she won't drive one, at least she'd get in it when I had my previous '5. She refuses to even be a passenger in the TVR.

You just need to pull up the headlight covers slightly.

DTM and I met up near Bournemouth on Sat morning and a had a little hoon.

Great fun although I got a little bit on the M3 on the way home!
