A study had been released saying the sports cars are owned by men who are looking for nsa sex and that women view such men as a good time but not good marriage prospects. We are looking for a new car when one of ours finally dies. My wife fully supports my desire for a MX5. What do you think? Anyone here have a sports car? Are women with sports cars just out for a good time?
sports cars might look nice but not very practical........not enough room for getting jiggy and restricts what you can do, but thats only my experience

That would depend on where you like to play; over the bonnet, or stain the upholstery. …and Trixie your real name; would it be Cat Ballou?
An MX5 is a bit of a girl's car (just look at the dinky door handles) ... So I can see why your wife supports the idea :-P Does anyone remember the film Crazy People? or :lol:

Gotta disagree about it being a girlie car, while the mk1 had almost feminine curves that did put guys off, the newer versions are a little more angled and the wheel arches make it appear less hairdresser IMO. The MX5 is one of the most fun cars I have ever driven, another fine example of a traditionally british thing we seem to be incapable of producing as we now seem to lack respect for engineering and manufacturing. One of the best things is the way it holds its value, a nearly new MX5 goes down slower than a reluctant wife
There's certainly something dinky about the MX5 but there's a real driver's car underneath too, based as it is on the classic British roadsters (in particular the original Lotus Elan). Although not an out and out performance car they are way better value than the mainly German alternatives and have an enthusiastic fanbase who love the sense of freedom and fun the car inspires. The very fact it's been in production for over twenty years, with relatively few changes along the way, speaks volumes about its ongoing appeal. Despite the usually lousy weather I've read that we buy more softops in Britain than anywhere else in Europe (so maybe we are a nation of optimists underneath, lol). They are a bad choice for straight male swingers at least though imho. Despite the initial perception of sex appeal a lot of women complain they fuck up their hair when driven at any kind of speed whilst the direct heat of the sun on a hot day is uncomfortable when stuck in traffic. I drive a classic 60s saloon with a full length sunroof and although it receives many admiring comments from all types of people, I've often been asked to close up even this by female passengers during journeys of any length.

I don't hire out, I work for the satisfaction....and I do like a woman who can ride. lol

I have been told I make love like a woman, I took it as a compliment.
As an ex owner of an MX5 MK2 I think it was the most fun I've had out of a car in donkeys years. Reason for selling complicated but I'd have another tomorrow. Yes impractical, and I've been told it's a girls car, (perhaps because it's so painfully pretty), but they are a great drive. The current MK3 looks ok until you see it next to a MK2. I shall shop for the last of the MK2.5's (2004 or 2005) if I go for another. Of course I'd rather have had a Ferrari, but as affordable options MG or MX5.
i own an mx5 bbr, and if anyone here knows MX5's will no that this is one true sports car, (200 bhp in something with the weight of a feather is not to be laughed at) its a Mk1, and fantastic fun, and with the roof down, very easy to have some fun and frolics in..it handles like a dream, and is very controllable, and no nasty supprises. Its cheap on parts, cheap on insurance, im 43, 7 yrs NCD and its £290 a year fully comp...cant say better than that for somthing that can make £40,000 plus cars ashamed
RX8, expensive to run, well, you need to use rotary oils, and they are 3 times the price of normal oils, the servicing is astronomical, the fuel consumption is rediculous, the road tax (i know its registered as a 1.3, but the Co2 is massive) if money is no object, then yes a real fun car, and great to drive, just watch out for early models, as enjine tips will need replacing, if not a full engine re-build will be required.

yup normal issues with these wankle engines, but nice revy powerfull engine, better over the years and its nice that a manufacturer have stuck trying to get a non standard engine config out there

Sadly that's true, I rarely put the roof down on my way to somewhere, but always on the way back. Nothing beats driving with the roof down, feeling the wind rushing through your hair, even if it's not summertime. Arriving home looking like you've been been in a cat fight with a champion hair puller is worth it
Kind of got involved in the MX5 thing and ignored the first posts reference to sex. When I was 24, (a very long time ago), I had an Austin Healey 3000 and I had a crash in London. Hit a car rental, first day driving in London and ignored a halt sign. Car was off the road 6 weeks during which time I had to cadge lifts everywhere, almost never had so much sex! (I say almost because there was an earlier busier period in my life as a sex God) So I discovered that having a sports car is at least as much of a disadvantage as an advantage, there's a large percentage of the population that will turn their noses up at your for being a flash git, and just being your own honest but poor self is usually just as good. For a car to make a difference it's got to be fucking big and expensive, and it probably helps to be George Clooney or Jenson Button driving it, but perhaps it works for fat megabucks company chairman too.
I am not into sports cars as it were at my peak owning an Opel Manta that stood still spectacularly more than it moved I did note though that car got looks from younger woman as at the time I was a younger man this was no bad thing but i didnt get any action from it. Had it kept moving for longer I might have Was reading an article I think on MSN a little while back and came by this :rascal: Now being stupidly loyal to my area I wouldent say no to one of these In the article I read previously these were said to be capable of over 280mph but have had to be reigned in due to aerodynamics I think that articals long gone.

I had a Manta, not a bad car, and it had a lot of punch for an old wreck.
As the owner of an MX5 I can tell you it will give you the best time you can have with your clothes on. Unfortunately getting your clothes off in one is another matter entirely....
