I ought to point out I am a 45yr old with much grey hair, so the exhaust was not a loud one. Just a standard back box with a new centre pipe both sourced from eBay.
The blue Polo and the MX5 are mine, the blue fiesta is my oldest sons (I have 3) and my daily is kept on the driveway… only reason we have so many cars is I cannot get any of my boys insured on the daily, hence the 1.2 Polo.
the daily is rapid, but too expensive for me to put on a track and even with track mode it will still monster the range (270ish) in a small amount of laps, so just not worth it.
The MX5 on the other hand smashed a whole day at Brands Hatch on half a tank of fuel with 2 of us sharing the driving and never missed a beat, a lot of car for the money and I wished I had found them earlier in my car life!! So much fun… and I like to tinker and that’s pretty easy as well compared to other cars I have had in the past.
Mine is the same, my X5 is an absolute beast but wow is it expensive to run. But it does have the extra seats for the kids (apparently popping them in the boot of the MX5 is not allowed).
I am starting my mechanical tinkering career with my MX5…always wanted to be a mechanic but life got in the way so now is my chance to do it on the side.
