Looked into the new abarth 124 spider before looked fairly fun too, since it is really a tricked up mx-5

They’re lovely looking and they’ve a far stronger gearbox - the newest Mx-5’s is a poor design apparently whereas the Fiat uses the tried and tested mk3 mx-5’s (like mine). I far prefer the look of the fiat, something I never thought I’d say! :P

In 2005 when SWMBO and I were looking for a "fun" car our first choice was an MX5. When we drove it on the expressways for a while, however, we found that it took a real buffeting from the cross-winds and tractor trailers, which we found unsettling. Instead we bought a BMW Z4 which felt much more stable at speed and on the expressway. We still have the Z4 a picture of which I posted in this thread. Nevertheless, I still like the design of the MX5, especially the latest model which looks quite muscular compared with the older models.

My favorite car was a 1986 BMW 325i. I had close to 350,000 miles on it when I was rear ended in a rainstorm by a tractor -trailer. I bought it brand new.

View attachment 14763 My non-winter car, a 2005 BMW Z4 2.5i with a 5-speed manual transmission; I'd thought of getting the 3 litre version, but I found it over powered. Because I drive the car for just 6 months a year the mileage is very low at 65,000 km. In the background is my 2004 Lexus IS 300; it has a 3 litre inline 6 and a 5-speed manual transmission, which is most unusual in North America. I drive this car year round but it too has low mileage for its age at 126,000 km. Not pictured is my wife's 2013 Audi Q5 Turbo; it's all-wheel drive and great in the winter.

She'll have to be put to bed for the winter by the end of November and stay there until late April.

I used to have a motorcycle (Victory Judge), but as my commute lengthened - I traded it in for a Subaru.

Is this a personal purchase or part of your business? You either have a very long driveway; rotate cars frequently; or your business specialises in Japanese imports.

Lovely! One of my former neighbours had a DC5 which was in stunning nick. Sounded like a raspy little beasty as well!

Whist I am a motor trader, this one is for me to have fun with. I have a fair bit of space, no extra on insurance and addicted to these cars!

Who knows what the future holds but I’m enjoying it [emoji41]
