    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.

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

    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
