Ok, a bit pricey but 263bhp and 500kg gets my juices flowing 8). Seriously I've been in a few of these and even the 'lesser' models are a total hoot, just so light and flickable.
Alternatively, Westfields are cheaper, you can get one with the engine from a Suzuki Hayabusa (fastest production motorbike for a long time). 11,000 rpm and 6 speed sequential gearbox anyone?

You know you want one :twisted:
TO LATE...I looked at the price :shock:
But what a lovely lookign car, I've always liked Westfield's too.
But the problem with both is that I think you really need a garage, which I don't have.
Someone else mentioned Elise's and S2000, love them both but S2000 is too expensive (but VBH drive's one..hmmmm VBH) and I sat in an Elise one, and struggled to get out (not because it was too comfy, but becuase my hips weren't flexible enough).
What I need is something cheep, relaible, and above all FUN (why don't car review sites have a fun per £ rating), and I think I'm coming round to the idea of the MX5 that's been sitting in my Mum's garage for the last 4 months doing nothing, simples.I know the voices in my head aren't real, but they have such great ideas0 -

The second I read that, I thought mx-5, as much as they don't look great they are apparently a hoot to drive & since you have one already doing nothing, use it!0 -

Also I use it far too much to get rid of it. Next month I have a drive to HMS Raleigh, this month I have done two jaunts to SCTC Weymouth, I couldn't do them without a car.
The idea is nice, the reality is another things altogether.
Would you need to own a car for those trips though...?
Not having a go, just interested. I'd like to see car share clubs get a bit bigger here. I know I've missed off the rest of your post about your commute 0 -

It's not mine, it belongs to my brother's girlfriend (it a long a boring story), so there would need to be an exchange of finanaces before I could use it, plus I would need to sell my RX8 first.I know the voices in my head aren't real, but they have such great ideas0 -

You could do worse than an MX-5 - good drivers cars which have an undeserved 'hair dressers' image
Or look at a Civic Type-R/Clio Cup if you don't mind tin tops. "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

I used to have a couple of MR2's and I remember getting the 'hairdresser's car' comments, but what's wrong with being a hairdresser?
No one ever says 'that's an electrian's car' or 'that's a physiotherapist's car' why do they pick on hairdressers?
Personllay I make a rule of never having a go at someone who's holding a pair of scissorsI know the voices in my head aren't real, but they have such great ideas0 -

I had a couple of mates who were hairdressers, they earned shed loads of dosh, were their own bosses and always had very attractive girlfriends.I know the voices in my head aren't real, but they have such great ideas0 -

No doubt - but they aren't the basis for the stereotype (which presumably does have some basis in fact).
The MX5 is an absolutely cracking car, though it's not quick in a straight line if that's what you're after.0 -

I'm not that bothered about quick in a straight line, been there, done that, got the points on my license :oops:I know the voices in my head aren't real, but they have such great ideas0
