Re: used 911 or tuned MX5 ?
Essentially, you can outrun a Ferrari but park anywhere. Where I come from, that's a biggie. There are places where I don't even like leaving the MX5; I wouldn't dare leave (or drive) a 911. As an aside, I know the mk2 are dire with rust, including serious safety implications, but isn't the mk3 onw...

Re: Mobile phones
... Since we are talking about laws and bans and all that... Have some of you stopped for a second and thought about what makes a law FIT FOR PURPOSE? Do so and you will eventually see for instance, that the ethics of using the greater good in terms of how many lives could be saved right now vs doi...

Re: used 911 or tuned MX5 ?
Learn to drive a slow car fast ... then learn to drive a fast car slow. Well said, but I prefer to learn to drive a fast car slow...then learn to drive that same car fast 8-) A fast car doesn't punish you for your mistakes. If you get it wrong you can just put your foot down a bit more and recover ...

Re: used 911 or tuned MX5 ?
Oh good and I am really pleased. Perhaps the MX5 should be a little more raw in basic form? What you will have is (rust aside...but do not underestimate this) is a decent and uncomplicated car that is mechanically sound; even the hood worhs properly and easily and is pretty much watertight. That's ...

Re: Mobile phones
wow...it's gotten hot in here since the last time I checked...and yet... I read somewhere that 4% of the population can multitask whilst driving without issues. I've also read that the best Tetris player can handle up to 3 items per second. So I am convinced that with better training/research/educat...

Re: used 911 or tuned MX5 ?
the V6 mx5 by rocketeer rocks...but, it brings something which I find puzzling: why do people do not modify their cars more? We like bespoke clothes, made-to-measure, in many other avenues of life. But with cars, we are so risk-averse. If you go to the a reputable tuning house, you often better reli...

Re: used 911 or tuned MX5 ?
Have you seen the recently announced v6 MX5 kit? An N/A engine feels like a much better fit for a sports car. And absolutely get you that Boxsters are dull, but that view often upsets a few people who like them :lol: :hit: No, I haven't. Would be interested in the weight penalty. Will look it up. W...

Re: used 911 or tuned MX5 ?
I have a 16 year old 1.6 and 110bhp MX5 which suits me very well. The car has the handling Mazda intended and has not been modified in any way (except the usual rust well sorted - Porsches have a similar problem). I've driven all sorts and can honestly say I wouldn't want for much more power as the...
