Does our humble little roadster ruin you for other cars?

Only car that beats it for me is a TVR - and I can't afford one

MX-5 > Boxster > 996 cab > Griff

But you are a hairdresser

Do you know many Griff owning hairdressers?

A couple that own TVRs and they aren't gay!

But the ones that I know (5) that own/have owned Porsches are

What about me??


Back to the original question, yes it does ruin other cars.


Waaaaay more fun that my 996. Was chatting to another ex 996 owning PHer the other night and he was saying the same thing.

Depends whether or not you're going to run one every day. Driven gently my S returns about the same MPG as thrashing the Eunos did. It's not as progressive as the Mazda, the turn in isn't as good and it has a very low ratio rack, but the feedback is superb (easily better than the Eunos), the straightline shove (particularly at higher speeds) is much greater and the noise is.

I do miss that LSD and on greasy roundabouts though and a watertight hood, so contemplating getting another Eunos as a daily driver.

Err, back on topic, runniong costs really aren't that high. The consumables are mostly early '90s Ford bits. TVR specialists can be expensive, but they're quite easy to work on and there's great support on here.
