Mazda MX5?

My g/f's came with a hard top which is really nicely made and I believe worth nearly a grand!! The problem is that we live in a 2 up 2 down terrace (SE house prices!) and have nowhere to keep it other than in the living room where it currently is!

 

It's just longing for more power though. I keep trying to make the g/f part with the £1795 necessary for a Jackson Racing S/C conversion! I do look like a bit of a mincer in it though, it's quite a girlie colour! Still, it's such a pleasure to hustle along and the gear change is so precise, no cable change slaggyness.

Does the low steering wheel annoy you though?

[Neil VR6 0]

Didn't notice that actually and I'm 6 foot 2.

 

We bought an Alpine head unit and some Fusion speakers for it last night! :twisted:

I am 6ft and I dont get any bother either - you havent got extremely short arms have you blair? :lol:

[Blair 0]

That would be a bonus actually :)

 

It's the legs - maybe too long, I dunno. I have to sit with them slightly akimbo around the steering wheel and the wheel rubs on the insides of my legs just about the knee. I'm sure, in a pair of shorts, the constant rubbing of the leather rim would be a real love/hate thing... ;)

 

And no, I don't have fat legs!

get a smaller steering wheel, or one with a flat bottom :-)

[Scruffythefirst 0]

flat bottom'd wheels are a pain in the arse for proper twirling antics

[Blair 0]

Yeah, but flat-bottomed girls they make the rockin' world go 'round :)

 

 

 

Anyway...have come close to deciding on the Seat Leon Cupra. Not the 'R', just the regular Cupra. It's a bit of a compromise between what I want and what I need (for the company miles) but since they're largely financing it, it's a pretty good compromise. My mate's got one, felt about as quick as the G60. Less exciting, but better screwed-together and more 'solid'...

 

Mebbe one day the (realistic) dream of a Corrado VR6 for the weekends will come true, but it's just not realist now :(
