It's all your fault
Discussion
that everynight I am trawling the classifieds/ebay/autotrader and any other website looking for another MX5. I have been reading all the MX5 threads in the other forums and that convinced me. I was looking at 200SX's as well buyt I really want another MX5.
I owned ones about 6 years ago (was 22 and first sports car) but unfortunately I my experience was ruined by the leaking roof. So had to sell it quickly.
But having recently sold my E30 318is track car (the red one in the motorsport section classifieds) on here I am on the look out for another to use as a summer toy and a track day car. It won't be modified to the same extent as the E30 was to keep it fairly comfortable for normal road use.
So I need a cheap MX5 (close to a grand as possible) which will allow me to spend some money on mods (turbo, coilovers etc.) as otherwise I will get a bit frustrated by the lack of straight line speed (I did in my 318is on track and that was stripped so comparable in weight). I know it is all about the handling but I got frustrated getting stuck behind slower cars and them not letting me past in the E30. So I want about 170-180 bhp min and 200 would be a bonus.
Am I asking too much? I keep reading posts with people finding them for £1200, £1300 but I can't find them. Where are you looking?
And when the missus asks me where I have been, why I left on foot and returned in another car I be blaming you lot ;-)
