Duncan,
Until UKTG and the Clakson comments, MX5's where rated as girls cars by a lot of blokes, You and I probably have the same list ie; gearbox, handling, wind in the hair, gearbox, handling, making resonable drivers better, gearbox etc etc.
Sadly in this country we are conditioned from an early age to believe that there is no replacement for displacement, the warning bells have been ringing for a long time now and Australian car manufacturers still dont hear them, nothing has changed apart from engines get bigger and production costs increasing.

Illuminating the future with brightly burning bridges.

Greg.

P.S. Whilst researching my MX5 I met a fellow who told me that I should get used to smiling more often because it was mandatory, and that the money I saved on fuel would soon be spent on sunscreen, a very wise man.
