Hmm, I think one of the MX5 club members has one of those. I'll have to check it out.

Thanks.


JB does. He sticks his head in here sometimes too.

A mate sold an older British sports car and he bought a BRZ- great move really because the latter was so much more practical and a lot safer. One of the reasons he did it was also because of skin cancers so anyone with concerns about that should seriously think of keeping the sun at bay. A used BRZ would I think be a good car. New cars are pretty much perfect models for value decreasing to somewhere around 50% after 3 years. OK for leasing and business. Used cars are great value these days- they dont generally go up in value but you lose less money. Euro cars- not sure but some of them are really exxy to service and parts etc can be another issue. Toyota / Subaru - darn good makers

Thanks, I'll get in contact with him, probably at the next club AGM.

Don't do it, don't talk to JBT about BMWs, you'll end up buying one. Ask me how I know this. :D
