iv just bought a mazda mx5...a 94 1.8 uk car....how anything so 'new' and japanese can feel so old and european is beyond me......its got a tight, snickety gearchange and no power steering or other creature comforts..the kinda car the mgb shoulda been..or, dare i say, what the old alfa spider could have evolved into.....im surprised, i really like this wee car....it feels like a proper sportscar, not a japanese facsimilie...and although i hate to say this, i have a feeling it will prove to be much more fun at sane speeds than the big fiat..every time i have fun in the coop im terrified of my licience disintigrating in front of me...!!!!....might be time for the fiat to find a new home...aaarrghh.......parting with this one will be such sweet sorrow.....

nb..might change my mind by tom,orrow......
