Hi all thought I should say hello as I’ve been lurking here for a while just arming myself with some of the useful info on the site.
I went out yesterday and after test driving about eight different cars finally settled on a 2003 MK2.5 1.8 which I am desperately hoping will prove to be a good example. I must say though that these are some hardy little cars, even some of the ones I drove that had no service history and looked to have suffered from some neglect all still felt wonderful to drive.
Welcome Mark!
You are quite right (and sensible [8-|]) to take your time before buying. Sounds like a good model you have chosen and you wont regret it.
Get some pics up when you can and let us drool I mean see [;)]
greetings Mark
enjoy. you will never stop grinning while driving.
[:D]
Cheers people, I hope so.
I used to have a smart roadster which was a great little car in its way. However I found it to be a bit frustrating, every time you did anything that might be too much fun all the electronics would take over and point the thing back in a straight line. Also the gearbox, aarrghh the gearbox, and the leaks and the broken AC pipes. The smart roadster is a handful of minor changes away from amazing. Not that I’m wanting to go drift racing or anything like that but a little waggle from the tail is what RWD is meant to be all about and after driving a few I’m pretty sure that the MX5 is the car I should have had in the first place.
G’day mate, Welcome to the Forum
