Truly next best thing to a motorcycle!

Cool coon there, a guy i know has a 460ci 4speed xygt replica, its very cool.


This is our plymouth, not as light and nimble as the mx5 and lotus etc, infact she is over 2000kgs, 20ftlong, 6ft wide with a 6litre v8 in it with a turning circle like a bus.
On the sunny weekend days the plymouth gets taken out over the bike cause my parner prefers the plymouth over pillion on the cbr. Altho she is starting to warm to the idea of getting her own bike so we can ride

What a stunner! I'm lovin' the bench seat, perfect cruiser.

Yep, i hear what you are sayin about the wheels, they kinda polarize people a bit, some like the chrome style, others would like it a bit more traditional. I threw my mates 15inch widend steelie rims on it a while ago for a laugh, and it looked real cool, so some steelies with micky thompsons on the back are on the "one day" list. I still have the 14inch skinny steelies and pie dish hubcaps that it came with (i just cant bring myself to throw away original parts!!) even tho they wont fit over the disk brakes on the front.

This week is all about motorcycles for me tho, attending my first ever track day at taupo on saterday

Sounds like fun! Try not to fall off too hard...

FCV's? Might take the MX5 today to town. Some nice weather up here lately. I reckon the SI has some of the best roads in the country and I do envy you having one of he best sports cars to enjoy them with!

Fucking Camper Vans

After driving my flatmates MX5 just now, I figure I would be depriving you of great wisdom if I did not share my opinion

First thoughts were, this is like a fucking submarine, all I got is some tiny portholes to look through. Second thoughts were, holy shit, it even leaks, more submarine authenticity.

Not being my car I didn't do any skids, and being a girls car (and raining) the top was left up. However, the seat was comfy, and it was a lot more nimble than a submarine, though the acceleration is probably pretty similar.

I would prefer my old ST162 celica, and would expect an ST165 (one of the few cars on my DO-WANT list) to be vastly superior to this mazda rubbish

As for comparing it to a bike, certainly not for me as a sportsbike rider, maybe its a more apt comparison for tractors cruisers
