CUK Car Owners trend

[The Lone Gunman]

I currently have a Jaguar S-Type nice for longer journeys, and the onboard SAT NAV is nice is it does not clog up the dash. Taken it to 175mph in France, got caught when I was slowing down, clocked at 135mph

I also have a Mazda MX-5 convertable, very nice in this weather. Sticks to the corners like glue, so I now vary my route to this gig to go round the country lanes.....I will have an accident on day, but heck I'll just buy a new one!!

Questions to all - looking to change the Mazda - but what do people recomend, I need somthing quick of the mark, but that can corner very well at speed....

Best car in that class for everything except carrying capacity is the Toyota MR2. Absolute hoot. A bit pricier than others but sooooo much better.

Or for a bit of a lunatic and off the wall tool try a Grinall Scorpion.

The MR2 is good but like the MX-5 lacks grunt. Bung in an extra 10k and buy the Honda s2000.

I was thinking of a AC Cobra - but I don't know whats its like on the cornering...

Given the state of the roads in Surrey I think that is superfluous to requirements.

Specifically the roads in Leatherhead Surrey!

MG ZS.
I also have an old Mondeo for going to the tip and carrying building materials.
I also have a KTM Duke II for weekend personal transport.

Does a kite buggy count?

Thing is with a car like an MX-5 or an MR-2 you can drive them near the limit alot of the time. A dash of acceleration isn't going to unbalance the car. The mistake people make when stepping up from such a car is thinking you can get away with the same type of driving (fancy traction control gadgets accepted). Which is when they accidently go sideways through a hedge at 90mph.

PS do you mean a replica Cobra?

Faulty speedo obviously.
