The trouble with having an MX5 is everytime you get out of it you'll be asked what you're doing driving your wife's car, my mate's got one and he regularly gets asked the that question

Before Danielle and I got together, someone tried to impress her by saying he had a TT, to which she replied "Isn't that a bit of a girl's car?"

I had that question posed to me on a few occasions when I drove a Rover 100...

Oh yeah the MX5 is a girls car for sure, but they are rather fun to throw around and reliable, i didnt say i would want to be seen in one though

I was never asked why I was driving my wife's car when I had either of my MX-5s. I was regularly asked if I could cut someone's hair though

My best friend from school, who's still a close friend, was the only kid in our class interested in cars/as useless at sport as me, and who used to share car magazines with me (He'd buy CAR, I'd buy Motor/Autocar and Autoexpress and we'd share them). Well, it turned out that he is gay. I must point out that this does not bother me one jot, it is not my business, and it is simply 100% unimportant and irrelevant to me. (He can be a bit overly PC and loony lefty which we do argue about but that's life!)

Anyway, he's driven BMW MINIs for the last 10 years or so, written one off by rolling it down a Welsh mountainside when it was a week old, is involved with the owners club and so on. When it came to replacement time, it was suggested that he got an Audi TT. His answer - "No way, they're such a poof's car"....

I used to use mine in winter a lot with the roof down. I found a woolly hat, pulled down over my ears, jacket with collar up to my ears, and a pair of good big sunglasses solved the problem of being seen in one..

I don't know about them being a poof's car, I look at them as being more of a Drug Dealers car

[addo]

Not round here. They're seen as a Beetle with tickets on itself.

I thought all the dealers used Imprezas or chavved up M3-replicas down your area :-p

My son in law had a mate with an MX-5 that he modded up to Eunos spec.
SIL also thought they were hairdresser/girly cars (and my daughter was an hairdresser at the time) until he got to ride in it.
I think he still has cold sweats thinking about it.

I sometimes entertain the fantasy of a

But it will probably remain a fantasy too.

We removed the lock from my brother's that has a GSA motor in it so we could mount the ignition key elsewhere. Our original idea was to just break the lock, as above, and leave it so it looked original ( there were other reasons for re-siting it). We couldn't break it, so ended up removing it completely in the correct manner, which was a total PITA as I remember.

all you need to disarm the steering lock on a DERSH is a 7mm spanner and an allen key, you dont need to remove the ignition lock at all,

How about a Nissan Stagea, then? Or a Mitsubishi RVR Hypergear?

Mitsubishi Galant/legnum VR4 is the answer not an fTslOw.
