Good point, let me add that to the man maths calculator.
I’m stupid enough to have it booked into litchfield before its run in, which wont be cheap.

Re: Toyota GR Yaris
I have no need for the 2 cars I already have, in fact I am doing more miles walking and cycling than in the car. And yet, I really really really want one of these. Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I think its rare that anything like this will be made again. I sat in one today outside ...

Re: How the mighty have fallen.
As an ex scobby driver, I find this quite sad. Even the Saab abomination was better than this.

Re: Decent car YouTubes
Cheers for the link Chris. I do watched Prosser’s PH stuff; good content though he’s not as characteristic as someone like Catchpole. His ‘Rise & Drive’ series are very good though, not sure if you’ve watched them? https://youtu.be/AhbtKNHZTJo https://youtu.be/tQ49lDc4hCk It's almost as if diff...

Re: old lurker returning to the fold
I can well imagine getting an ND MX5 at some point with the 187bhp engine. Did you buy yours standard and upgrade with the BBR bits? Its disappointing that Mazda dont sell a more sporty version of the mx5 akin to the Yaris circuit pack, as it definitely lacks at least springs and a back box from th...

Re: old lurker returning to the fold
My immediate thought when you said MX5 and 540i was the mk1 MX5 and E39 540i. Clearly no time has passed in my world in the last 20 years 😄 Welcome back; I recognise your username. How on earth did you find this place? A few petrol heads have looked disappointed when they find out that its “only a ...

Re: old lurker returning to the fold
MX5 sounds a hoot, the mx5 ND is growing on me over time too. I had a mk3.5 prh, loved that carand was planning to taking it bbrgti. As soon as I saw the mk4, I sold my mk3 and was waiting for the recall editions to drop down to a decent price. Before I pulled the trigger, Mazda (the gits) upgraded...

Re: old lurker returning to the fold
The mx5 is a 100th anniversary edition, its white with red roof, red seats and red carpets. It’s been fettled by BBRGTI, lowered, anti roll bars, 6 pot brakes, cams, manifold, full exhaust and tuned with raised rev limit running around 221bhp. It sounds insane at just shy of 8000 revs. The 540i is a...

Re: old lurker returning to the fold
Last time I was on here I had a golf r in lease deal red. Going back 10/12 years when we were on evo website I had an Impreza and before that a 323 v6 and a Cappuccino.
I live near Bromsgrove and used to work in Stourbridge, seem to recall a few locals were in here?

old lurker returning to the fold
Good afternoon - all, managed to find my login and have been catching up on the freds, which has helped with the lockdown boredom. Right now I have a 540i and an MX5 sat on the drive, frustratingly I my bike has done more miles than both cars recently. https://media.giphy.com/media/13TXV4kfn7r2iA/gi...

Sadly the Porches of that era, especially the Boxter were built to a budget.

Re: Looking at buying a MX5
I’ve had a mk2, mk2.5 both 1.8 and a mk3 2.0 (hardroof), any views are biased. :D Going from a leased golf r they don’t feel slow as long as you don’t look at the clocks, you can throw it around a corner and it flatters, even a ham fisted driver like me can look like a drifter. I fully intended to t...

Re: The idle dreaming “what next” thread.
I am debating between a cheap MR2 mk3 or a considerably more expensive (as in yolo expensive) Alfa 4c. Middle ground would be the latest MX5, which could have cams or a turbo. I’ve also been thinking about an a8 or phaeton for the other half to replace the golf. Possibly a symptom of getting older b...
