    Don`t believe everything of what you read. Didn`t the midget off of Top Gear really like the chassis and grip of the early roadsters? Anyway, the Coupe especially is a cracker, even in non-///M form. Should hold value well (hopefully) as they are reasonably rare.

      It's a bit hardcore for baggy, he likes pensioners cars like Hondas, nice and soft for his piles. He also doesn't think torque is important, instead he thinks it is nice to drive with 9,000 rpm dialed up all day with his ear defenders on.

          take a guess at the comfort score that accompanies this piece. I'll draw your attention to one sentance in particular:
          Morris Marina?

            I started out in contracting with a Merc.

            Am I doing something wrong.
            Same here, might have to seel my beloved RAV next month to get me through the next few months.

              Why do you want a car??

              - nothing but an expensive pain in the ass that's becoming increasingly un-PC by the second.

                  Because I will start to visit customers at their offices. And it is not time efficient to go by pubic transport to some chemical plant in the middle of nowhere 200km away.

                  So far I have been here for almost 2 and a half years and I have not needed a car as I have gone to the same client co office every day. Thus I have not got a car here yet. Now I will need it - then I will get it.

                  Simlpes - and explained in the initial post

                    If you need a car for a day, hire one, why waste money and driveway space buying one??

                    Car hire = still 100% tax deductible in the UK I believe.
