Change of car, maybe???
Hi Everyone,
As some of you know i have been thinking of changing my car for a little while and i am properly thinking about it alot more now.
As most of you know im going into hospital for a heart operation at the end of this month/start of feb and while im in my car is going up to TGT to have a few things sorted. New front ball joint, wheel bearing etc
Now what im thinking is this will be the perfect time to get rid of the car as i will pretty much be house bound so won't need the car. Don't get me wrong i love the car to bits but after getting more involved with the Demon i just don't enjoy the lex as much as i used to. This is only my second car and you never know i may be back in a lex in the future. Its getting old now and its done nearly 150k and this is another reason for maybe getting rid. Plus the fuel is just crippling me, i am spending about £70 a week just getting to and from work.
I have been looking at a few cars and i really am in love with...................waits for the hairdresser comments..........the mk1 mx5 hock: I know most people see them as girly cars and to be honest in standard form they do look like that. But with a few mods they can look fantastic in my opinion.
Of cousre Sarah aint happy as she loves the Lex but she can see why i want to change. After her accident i just can't afford to insure her on my car otherwise i could drive her 1.0 litre yaris during the week and my lex at the weekends.
I have had a liitle look and i think i can sell my lex and end up with quite a tidy, low mileage MX5. Not too sure what one as there is a 1.6 and a 1.8 litre engine. I nedd to reduce my fuel costs so i may go for the 1.6. Plus i will be using it for a bit of track action and maybe a bit of drift also :Fish:
There are some amazingly cheap parts for them also and i have fell in love with a kit that just transforms the look of the car to look like a baby cobra, its really expensive but i love it. will find some pics now.
What do people think of the MX5, i know what most people will say but you never know.

That one in the pic dose look well smart and not to girly LOL. And a big sunroof ( thanks to Bandit for remembering me ):laugh::laugh:
Sorry to hear you are going in for a heart op Jason, thats the first I've heard of your condition. Hope its not as serious as it sounds and we will send you down some get well cakes once you are out of the hospital ( if you are allowed to eat them that is ).
So are you going to sell it as is or are you taking bits off to sell ( so you can make a bit more money off of it ?? )
