You can't have a Falcon, what do you do when you have that fridge you want to bring home?

You can't have a ute, what do you do when you have that inground pool you want to bring home?

You can't have a truck, what do you do when you have that space shuttle you want to bring home?

When horse and rider are as one then there is no need for anything else ( basic design philosophy behind the mx5 )

How often do you take your wife and the baby down the coast for a drive? 20 times a year maybe? Hire a car for that too :P

If you plan well, you could do that on the same weekend that you buy your 70 inch TV, or buy a 70 inch TV down the coast!!

$60 x 20 times per year = only $1200 per year. Much cheaper than buying a modern family sedan just to take the wife and baby down the coast for a drive...

:lol:

A few years back, I had a wife, and 2 Babys.
Also had 6, 2 seat sports cars. (No MX-5's).
(4 Vettes, 2 Deloreans). We went everywhere with 2 cars with walkie talkies in our cars.
We had a great time. Others would say, "But your driving 2 cars!" But we had great fun.
So we drove 2 cars, And we raced one another home, And we both enjoyed driving.
We took 2 Vettes from Wisconsin down to southern Kentucky for a Corvette get together at the factory, With 2 young sons.
We burned up twice the petrol, But it was always worth it.
Today I own 2 , 2 seat sports cars. No 4 wheel drives, No 4 door sedan.
Just a Motorcycle and my 2 sports cars.
What do I do when I need to move something big?
Borrow someone elses Van! Or hire that guy with the Ute, (He only charges 20 or 30 bucks).

That's brilliant!!!

Life's too short to drive boring cars. :D

I see no problem with a family/couple/people etc owning 2 mx5's or 2 2 seat sports cars. If that's all they need/want/require whats the point in having a bigger more boring car? Delivery cost/hire cars aren't that expensive and if you think of it how often do you buy those 'big' items that wont fit in smaller hatchbacks/sports cars etc?

I had 3 kids and 4 2 seat sports cars (and a motorbike) :mrgreen:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
