If I had a coupe I’d be doing exactly that.

I went to the Westfield factory in the 90's and had a go in one of those with a Fireplace engine. Bloody manic and bloody quick. Got sent out in ski goggles 😂😂

2.0 4 pot afterward felt lethargic in comparison!

Nope! I don’t think I’ve even been in a convertible let alone something as extreme as that :lol:

I think I’d rather a Mini Cooper of some sort. Then I think, ‘what about a Clio182?’

Great little cars but that ones about 2 grand over priced.

As for the rest of the shit people are suggesting, is anyone here even into cars any more?

Westie complements your garage the best IMO. You've got two practical cars, get something silly and never look back. :-D
