Paging the MX5 Poofs

Looking for a MkI at the moment.

What's the general consensus on the MK5 vs Eunos debate these days? - is
the only advantage of the Eunos that you generally get more kit for your
money?

Also, PAS... I gather it was an option on earlier UK cars, is the same
true for the Eunos imports?

Currently bidding on a V-Special - British Racing Green, with tan hood
and tan leather. A bit old gimmer, but I like it.

 

(SteveH) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

Have you actually tried one on yet?

They're... compact.

 

Your point is? - I'm 5ft 8in and K is 5ft dead. Can't see it being a
problem - haven't tried a MkI - only had an extended test of a MkIII.

The Cinquecento has a narrow (Caterham) Cobra seat in it, and I fit in
that fine....

 

That & they're cheaper (although insurance might not be).

Dunno. Mine was an early import & had it.

Nicest colours imo.

 

It won't be.

 

Both fun to drive but a little cramped if youre 6'2"...

 

Hmmm, not sure that's the case these days - they're all getting on a bit
now, so I'm looking at condition rather than age.

Seems to be listed on ads for most of the imports, but not for UK cars -
but wondered if you could say for definite that imports have PAS - I
have to have one with PAS.

 

(SteveH) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

You're - how best to put it - not exactly built like a racing snake,
though, are you? Or has that gone the way of the ciggies?

 

Another thing.

Do all imports have the LSD rear end, too? - I've seen conflicting
advice on this.

 

No, about 16st and 6'2".

I've not _properly_ driven one. After moving a neighbours, I can only say
that I couldn't do even if I wanted to. It fitted me like a glove. A
glove that was two sizes too small.

 

I'm sure the seller's can, & they generally include contact details...

 

No, I'm not a racing snake, but I'm only a 36" waist.... surely that's
not going to be an issue.

 

Lose some weight then, you fat ****.

 

(SteveH) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

Odd. I could've sworn you were taller and... better upholstered.

 

Only?

See my other reply to Adrian.

 

'sellers' you fucking twat.

 

Would be better if I can discount or include cars on a shortlist before
calling.... especially as a lot are being sold by women, who are highly
likely not to know what PAS is.

 

Give a specialist a call then - http://www.mxheaven.co.uk/

Paging LN, would LN come to the misogyny phone - stat.

 

I'd prefer to have PAS for my, rather than for K, given my recent
incident.

I'm 'banned' (GP advice) from riding bikes until June at the very
earliest, and have been advised to largely avoid track days this year.

 

You reckon Mike Tindall's a fat **** too?
