Here's my MX5:

Top down, country road - it's a joy to drive. Legendary handling, and it's so light, the 1.8 actually goes like a bullet. Good value second hand. It's a Mark 2.5 model, which all seem to have held their price since the new one came out, which I don't like as much.

Herh, or perhaps we're just very comfortable with our sexuality and also enjoy driving the best small sports car on the road. I'm sure you're an 'eligible bachelor' Commie, and not at all a candidate for 'most likely to be a repressed homosexual' on TW.

Well we can`t all drive Ladas.

not at all, I'm more than comfortable with my moisturiser purchasing quota, more shoes than most girls I know and the amount of pink in my wardrobe, not to mention a number of gay and bisexual friends and colleagues. Why you raised sexuality I don't know, I didn't, perhaps it is you who questions their sexuality given you immediately jumped on that as though a nerve had been touched.

Mx5 may be a roadster, it may be good, but a sports car it is not.

The MX5 has fantastic handling and is fun to drive.

I agree with Commie though, it's not a sports car and certainly not the best roadster. The Honda S2000 is better for a start. The noise at 7/8000 revs is unbelievable.

I drive a 323i SE at the moment, on a '99 plate. An old car but f*ck me can it shift. It was badged as a 323 despite having a 2.5L engine - summat to do with wanting to differentiate from the 328. I know, makes no sense to me either!!!

That's just random words, surely!

My cars got 5 wheels (including steering) and goes where I drive it. Functional tool. (not me, the car)

The 3 stands for 3 series and the rest usually denotes the engine size i.e. a 323 would have a 2.3L engine. However, on this particular model the engine size is actually 2.5L.

You can have your sports cars. This little fella would see most of them off. It's a Fiat 128 39 Berlinetta with twin carbs. (Not a pic of the one I had which was metallic blue, but same model) The proverbail shxt off a shovel.

In which case, why not call it the 325, which would still differentiate it from the aforementioned 328?

Exactly, hence why I said it makes no sense to me either!
