I know it's just me but the idea of an MG without a roof that comes down is pretty strange. I remember thinking that when they came out.
 
However who could deny that q needs another car?

The answer to that question is "Mrs. Q," apparently.
 
ooohhh... I almost forgot. This little item came through on one of my saved searches last night: '88 RX7
 
Exterior pics are pitiful, but the interior looks real sharp. And I'm really confused how one could follow up this: "Engine runs strong, always starts and has been well maintained" with this: "Engine has been rebuilt." ???
 
And something else I'm confused on... wiki says the vert was only N/A?? So what the hell is with the hood scoop? I thought only the turbos had the scoop? Am I incorrect? I know there was a non-scoop hood. So if this is N/A, and the vert brings the weight to 3k lbs, then this ain't the RX7 I'd want, I'm sure.

"I will not accept a PENNY les"
 
wanna bet?
 
MGBGT -- actually the GT has some advantages over the roadster. While it is a bit heavier, and hence a tad slower, it has a much bigger windshield and also much better weather protection as you can imagine. Otherwise, same car underneath. Think of it as a base model MINI at 1/5th the price.

Will the Fast and Furious fad ever die out ?
 
Not with a fourth movie (starring Vin Diesel, apparently) in the works, and teenagers everywhere playing "Need for Speed" on their video game systems.
 
My son, apparently, is one of them. His dream car is an RX-8, lowered and modded to heck and back.

Funny you should post that question. It was just this past Sunday we were cruising home from a fine day of shopping for the living room when we came upon a slow moving Mercury ... oh, hell ... whatever their version of the 500 is. Anyway, it had a carriage top. So this struck up a conversation with the wife about such a practice and how it seems to have held up as a "fad" with the seniors.
 
This had me wondering aloud what will happen as the fast and furious crowd becomes seniors. Will we be seeing 2050 Toyotas with 20" chrome spinners and ground effects dropped within an inch of the asphalt driven by the gray-haireds?

Well, if I had the space and money for a summer fun car, I think something like this could be highly enjoyable. But, considering my cars live outside year-round and are driven daily, I would feel a bit off doing such a thing to an E55. Plus, I would not want to spend the dollars for maintaining it as a daily driver, and I prefer to keep my cars in top mechanical condition even if their skins can get to looking rather haggard from time to time.
