  1. I don't think I know anyone who has had a MX5 and hated it , I have to agree with you on the Mk2 You should be able to get a good one for that £££££ as I think they are still only 20K new. I saw a dark blue one last week Another reason to get one is the MX5 community, just like the Zed... Its waves all round when you see another one on the road Digsy, Your's looks in red... very nice ..... I miss my MX
  2. The Mk1 I had before the Mk3 was great, very good value... and really easy to control power slides in corners The only thing I found with it was it was always damp inside and the seats were not as comfy. Here are my two....
  3. I'm pretty sure you can. Cool thats a selling point in its self - looking better and better Yep, you can turn it off Good luck with the hunt, I still miss mine a bit. I was one of those people who used to drive round in mid winter with the roof down... the heated seats are wicked.. really hot. The only thing it could have done with is an air scarf thingy like the SLK's
  4. Hi Stan, I had one before the Zed for 3 years, I thought it was a great car. Mine was a 2.0i with sport pack with canvas roof. I did 20k a year and motorway cruising was fine. Boot space was manageable, I think only once in 3 years did I think I wish I had a bigger boot The interior was OK as well, seats comfy, factory stereo was also good. I am 5ft 11in and slim build and found space just right, If your any taller/bigger then you might feel a little crampt. I had a few passengers who found it a bit of a squeeze MPG, I think I averaged about 32mpg most of the time... fuel tank is fairly small so you will be visiting petrol stations just as often as in the Zed.... it just costs less When driving in a spirited fashion you do need to rev fairly hard to get it to go, but they are pretty nippy If your gonna get one go with the option pack (bigger wheels, air con, heated seats etc) and the tin roof, you will find it much quieter on the move. I had a tin roof one for a day while mine was being serviced and the noise difference was very noticeable. With the Tin roof you also do not loose a boot space, just the behind seat storage is gone. The only problem I had with mine was a wiring loom which went over the engine shorted due to vibration and engine mgt light came on, Mazda fix it immediately :thumb: Over all I like them, they go well, and generally a bit of a laugh to chuck about in the corners, mine always felt very stable. Servicing and parts are also relatively cheap as well. Hope this helps Jim
  5. to the forum, I have recently been in a S2k and a Z4 and after having the Zed they do feel a little crampt, as for mpg I do a fair few miles, in and out of town and I am averaging about 24-28 mpg....though I dont drive like I am on fire (very often) nor as though I am 90 Zed is a Good choice.... just go get your self a test drive
  6. Colour Unknown, Age Unknown, Type Unknown.... nice Zed car cover though

  12. Its ment to be lucky if you get plopped upon your head.... I don't think cars count. I crashed my bike once due to ploppy-in-the-eye once.... wasn't that lucky..9 stitches in my chin

  14. Piloting a Tub Boat sounds great ..... Maybe when I get fed up with IT

  16. Not you it was someonn called "yxin" And funnily enough I have thought about it but I think my attempt at looking like a scary clown would end up more like...... Nuff Said !... aint gonna happen (yet)... so your safe Sounds Good to me Yeah, I hate that cockhead You know him as well? Cant say I know him.............. bet you cant guess where I live?
  17. I am a Wireless Network engineer and we may be looking for someone shortly (WLAN,LAN and Security)
  18. RX8 As you Wife and Child will be travelling in the new family vehicle, I say Safety First. RX8 has an NCAP rating of 6 ...... Civic is 4 My only other suggestion would be an Volvo V50 .... but no estates allowed
  19. I have had a complaint or two... er I mean one... about my Avatar.... so I thought I would put it to a vote. Scary or Not..... should it Stay or Go?
  20. I dunno mate, but I don't think it's got anything to do with buying a decent bike Thats very true Back on the bike theme though, I have MTB, and I have recently been thinking of getting another set of wheels and tyres.... so if I want to brave the ride to work it will be a little smoother, then just swap back for proper riding
