I would love a lotus Elise.
Failing that something that has a really noisy turbo on it. Softtop. vented disc brakes all round and CD player.

Was gonna get a 206 HDI, but after taking one for a test drive I changed my mind. Then i tested a Focus TD coulda walked faster.

I know my current car (sierra Sapphire) isnt fast but I do like it.

dont know if anyone saw top gear on sunday?

they has this yellow 3 wheeled thing, the main 'cab' bit of it tilts as you turn the wheel whilst the engine block at the back stays firmly upright...cant remember what it was called (made by the dutch) but it was cool as **** - the short skinny presenter was verying on getting a sexul thrill outta driving it :)

one slight problem....it costs 22k :(

That would be a Smart Roadster then. Ok the turbo isn't that noisy but you could always fit a dump valve & it comes with paddle gear shift on the steering wheel


:cool: :cool: :cool:

Yeah I saw that - it looked brilliant fun to drive, almost like the nearest you'd get to flying while on the ground. But £22K aargh!

Clarksons story about having to be driven home sitting in the back was funny.:)

It's awfull, no offence, I guess you either hate them or love them.

I hate everyhting about the smarts, they aint smart and the grear change auto or semi auto is so far away from smart.

That is but ugly mind you Micra's always have been ever since they became more round :D Everyone has different tastes though lol! :)

Personally I prefer the Primera...

But if you want a small sports car why not look around for a Honda Beat?

Small, convertible and only 600cc
