Re: carwow (ND)

If they can afford Evo, they can afford something other than a stick to test where to not an exhaust pipe is real or fake.

Now own Evo and the rest of what was Dennis.

Hopefully we see more videos and digital content due to this, I was disappointed not to see ECOTY 23 on YouTube.

Up to 10 years or 100,000 miles.

Re: Test drive report

Although I’m not a huge fan of SUVs, I can see the appeal. The strange thing about the Macon and Cayenne is that they both appeal, whereas I see no reason to go for an x3 over an x5, the same goes for q7/q5 and gle/glc. One thing that has always put me off Porsche is my worry that running costs, are...

Re: EOTR MX-5 100th Anniversary Super 220

I can’t see what kit they are using for wheels & pedals, but obviously “full motion” seat isn’t low-end. You don’t need to spend a fortune to get involved - can be really competitive (and tense) but it’s also a great way to realise a couple of hours have just evaporated. I got new pedals for Ch...

I played what is probably a high end piece of kit, but I’d made me realise how realistic these things are.

EOTR MX-5 100th Anniversary Super 220

I've been fortunate enough to have owned many MX5s, all except the NA model. In fact, this was my second ND 184. Finding an NB that isn't a special edition is quite the rarity, but ND specials are less common. However, I reckon the 100th Anniversary edition is one of the best specs around. The red h...

Re: Harry’s Garage

There are quire a few of the new model Sports around here and they look best in black as it hides some of the detail, especially the rear as it looks like something is missing. Im not a huge fan of the defender, the 90 is too short and the 110 too long, maybe they can create a 100 as it would be jus...

Re: MX5 owners

The cayman would feel like an over geared boat by comparison and ownership costs would be very different.

A 2006 Mazda could cost circa £5k, a 2019 Cayman would be circa £35k and be a 2.0 litre.

Re: MX5 owners

@Jobbo not sure if you have ruled out an mx5, but if you havent this seems like a lot of car for the money, due to 'high' mileage.

Re: Tedious but traditional New Car thread

As much as I love the E46, the F20 is a massive step up in many ways, a much better daily and massively over engined (a good thing in my book).

A lot of car for the money too.
