Well my father in law came round... he has a Eunos - I fit (just) with the seat right back & the seat upright (how I want it)

I've got a couple to look at, and then some Puma's on Saturday

I just about fit in the mx5, quite comfortable and easy to drive considering how snug it is. You know you want too........rwd :)

......looks nice and easy to work on too, engine bay is huge!

it's so very different to anything I've driven before..... gearchange as you suspect, is direct

test drive was in the 'damp' which was certainly interesting when learning different clutch control.

nice steering, really well looked after & great value

I loved the two my dad had .... also the steering was very communicative. Really felt like everything was connected. Once you put aside the 'short back and sides image' it's a really nice car to drive. The chassis is crying out for more power though.

it's a 1.6, I'm actually expecting to do very little.

except a hard dog roll cage, and keeping it nice.... it's in really amazing condition for an 18yr old car

Think I know a reason why you want the roll cage.....noggin feels abit vunerable doesnt it?

People really do look after these things, crazy how little miles are on some of them.

I can't think of anything I would want to... firm enough suspension, great shifting gearbox, comfy seat...

headunit is naff, but then the car isn't "quiet" and a nice one would just be nicked.

If I like it, I'll get a hard top

The Ibiza is gone, sold to it's new owner for a bargain price

I'm sure he'll be along soon enough, I think he knows of the site already.

Picked the Eunos up earlier.... I love it - it's so much better driving it now it's mine.
