Would I lose my man card if.....

[dirtydoogle 383]

I sold the E36 and brought an MX5? I've got several reasonable deals on mx-5's between 2.5 to 3.5k. Just the waiting game and selling the E36 is the limiting factor. I do like the 36 and am doing the interior trim some wonderful and needed repairs this week [Hood lining again and door trims.] But I wouldn't mind trading it for an MX-5.

Is this O.K? After all I do have the whole Morris thing going on too.

[huff3r 347]

Depends. Can be pulled off if it looks the part. I.E stock = chicks car.

I saw a super sweet dark green one with that creamy coloured suede soft top. Best part was the work meisters and the stance.

That would be cool.

[dirtydoogle 383]

If I brought one it would be fairly stock.

Which, is obviously a bit on the limp wristed side.

All depends on what you do with it...

Ok i mentioned this thread to my sister. Instant response. "Haha. Yes."

So the girls think its a girls car too

[pjay 8]

Theyre so little! And handle so well, and have a cult following so something must be right about them.

Hah bet you Pjay ...

I have an MX5. It rules. GF loves being in it too.

Get a 1.8L, I wouldn't bother with the 1.6L - has all sorts of less awesomeness.

.........My MX5 is currently for sale - it's a Midnight Blue G-Limited

[dirtydoogle 383]

Those wheels are decidedly different aren't they?

Too bad if it's a girls car! I shall hand my man card in at admin if the e36 sells.

Although I will most likely miss everything about it.....such a brilliant car to drive! I'm never having another e36 unless it also has tech suspension =D

Is it dirt cheap?

[Silver Fox 43]

Aren't they all?

[dirtydoogle 383]

Aren't they all?

Good point =P But, the E36 isn't really worth too much either. It's very tidy etc...but it's still only a 320i coupe

Our old one, Was the 1800cc 6speed model. Went and handled really well.My GF drove it however not me, Fun car to drive but not something i would daily. Just not practicle at all

Yes

I've seen two in nz that I would have to say "no". One had a lexus v8 in it and a power bulge in the bonnet to allow it to fit.

The other was turbo.

It was between one of these and an MR2 for the missus to daily. Went with the mr2. But we looked at some decent mx-5s. Our criteria was that it had to have a removeable hardtop. Didn't see anything that we thought was decent at the 2-3.5k mark. $6-8k seemed to get a good one though.

Don't do it.

It's a womans car.

If you buy one, people will look at you and instantly think "poof".

[pjay 8]

Poof?

Tell Darth that: http://www.classiccar.co.nz/articles/darth...x-5-v8-2013-177

Or the owner of this

Or

As you can tell, I am a small fan of the wee MX5. I can continue posting badass examples all day.

[westy 614]

$hundy says the car he's looking at doesn't look like that.

That's the one I was talking about. (with the power bulge). My sieve of a brain told me it was a lexus. American v8 just as manly.
