Buying my second car tomorrow...

[MGZRod]

And it's a bloody MX5. I hate this place at times.

I'm already in bed, like a child at Christmas... It can't come soon enough! I believe tomorrow will be the longest day I've ever worked!

It's a MK2 1.6 with hard top, coilovers, roll bar etc. For £2250, and it comes with two sets of wheels!


This is an odd feeling, looking forward to it more than the first car.


What was your second car, was it an upgrade/downgrade? Did you crash it? Share your stories/woes etc

slight upgrade from my first car 1.1 saxo to a 1.4 corsa c i didnt really want to change car but the back end rusted to the point it wasnt safe to use. the corsa is a better car but i had so much more fun in the saxo. cant fault the corsa apart from the stupid electric throttle thing that is so delayed you can put your foot to the floor whilst not in gear and take it off again with the engine even making a noise. next change will be a vauhall combo van for work reasons.

I'm going to see that your flux capacitor was in full working order.

My first car was a 1.2 W reg Clio.
Needed to rag it to get anywhere.

Replaced it with a MK2.5 1.6 MX5 and promptly crashed it within a couple of months
It's fixed now but I bought a MK1 1.8 MX5 essentially on a whim so I need to sell it.

My Dad wasn't happy about going older with second car.

But as always i knew better [at 18]

The MK1 was a POS and was sold on within 6 months

First car, Pug 205 diesel. Ended up on it's roof.

Second car Pug 309 Goodwood GTI. Ended up on it's roof.

I'm a lot older and wiser now, well older at least.

This explains why you're wanting to go out with the camera with standfree93.

Went from my 1.3L Fiesta with 60bhp or so, to a Cupra R with about 270bhp. Big jump!

Andy's is a lovely example, clean and OEM. Mine is the opposite, low and loud. But tastefully (IMO, got a couple things to remove) done. Plenty of scope for mods too.

My first car was a mk2 Fiat Punto 1.2 ELX

Then traded that in for a gen 3.5 Hyundai Coupe 2.0!!! So bit of an upgrade

My first car was a '79 mini 1000.

My second car was a 3 door sierra 1.6.
