I'm middle aged, over weight and balding.......

......so a Mazda MX-5 seems like a good idea

I sold my Elise today, 5000 miles in 2.5 years is a complete waste and it's best that I don't work out the £/mile. I took a 1998 mk2 Mazda MX-5 1.8iS in part exchange and whilst it's certainly no Elise I'm impressed with the turn in, the nicely weighted steering and the gear change is the best I've ever experienced. Not a fan of the engine note though in all fairness I am comparing a standard car to an Elise with sports induction and exhaust but the LSD does seem to work on roundabouts

Off to buy some stick on aluminium tat for the interior and some 145 rear tyres so I can go sideways everywhere!
