Mk1 MX5 with a turbo or supercharger fitted.

I'm not a good passenger. A lad took me out in a mkl one once. It scared me is not the words I'd describe carefully..I was very aware that if the car rolled we would have been beheaded instantly.

saxo VTS!

Was it the self-same Interga type R i saw parked up at last year's Premier Southern Family-Friendly Booze-up, err Bike Event?

seggons good choice. 8)
not built to german and jap stds but great handling and loads of fun.

Hora – a bit of danger makes you feel alive 😉
but you can get Roll bars for them – TR Lane (do bars for MX5s and TVRs) Uk based. or Harddog bars imported from the US by performance5.

in terms of a TVR.

feel slightly effeminate or play golf: get a Chimaera
have an over abundance of chest hair and have a petchant for wearing gold medalian necklaces get a Griffith 500

money no object – 4.2 AJP Cerbera red rose.

have a bat cave under the mansion – Sagaris (in Moonraker black, with black leather interior.)

Is a v12 AMG Merc not fun enough for you?

It'd have to be a proper track rollcage though. Not those fancy chrome hoops that you see on many of them- that also carry a disclaimer.

I mentioned this on a MX5 forum once, basically what I see as the MX5's Achilles heel. If you flip etc the car you are at a real risk of street furniture killing you (yes its a convertible) but also the screen-height etc compared to many modern convertibles isnt the safest for 6ft drivers is it?

yip both are bars that are similar to the FIA bar you get on Caterhams.
4 point rollbar thats bolted to the structural points of the car.
TR Lane

Hard Dog.

there are other styles from both.

while not as safe as a full 6 point cage that the race 5s have, it is more usable, since a 6 point cage would stop you having a roof

may i tempt you with a 3.5 v8 with only 24,000 miles on it.
cheap insurance
spares easily available
no worries about parking at supermarkets or mountain bike events
convertable in summer; hardtop in winter
never stuck by snow or flood
british classic with loads of street cred

Do those bars also come with swing and slide attachments for kids?

You wouldnt really need them for a kid though.

Julian – what a great sounding event. Did you go there last year? Why not start a thread discussing the event. Some people might be interested to know it is back on this year for the weekend of August 21/22nd

Bigbike bash looks great!

Should be better that the recent Big End Bash I suffered 🙁

Hope to see you at the BBB
