Somebody there likes Jeeps...

Speaking of fuel economy, I was rather surprised by how little petrol the miata consumes as opposed to expectations. I figured that it would consume a lot more than my Golf did, that was around 6l/100km (38,9mpg). Now the miata takes on about 7,5l/100km (31,4 mpg). I thought it would be at least 10 or 9. And this is considering that I drive mostly urban.

Haha yes my dad restores jeeps, he already had around 20!

More practical since I need to drive 300km twice a week and the miata was always around 4k rpm on the highway, leading to around 12L/100km... The Mini is a diesel car, fuel is much cheaper and it only takes 4-5L/100km.

Stop talking about mpg :rolleyes: I really don't care, tell me how fast it goes and how it makes you feel (after showing a picture for thread rules) :lol:

[RobikV3]

Yeah i feel the same who cares about economy ffs

[SBCriss]

Are you kidding me? I've got a 67 mustang sitting in my garage and you think I care about mpg for that one?

I just bought the diesel mini since university is expensive and I want to save as much money as possible, jesus :rolleyes:

 

 

Ohwell, I painted the winter tires black this weekend, last photo shows how low I want it to be in about 1-2 months.

On random news, it'll cost me £25 a month to get insured on the 406 Coupe as of next week(21 on Saturday). So I'll be rolling in that for a few weeks! :)

I suppose you guys are right. It's economy is not why i bought the car. I got carried away with that a bit too much, since it's usuallyi n the back of my head since i dont really have a stable source of income. :D

 

Speaking of the drivability, I really did not expect the Miata to corner so effortlessly. Hell, after the Golf, the interior just felt way more comfortable, everything's within reach, the seats are confortable yet they keep you in your place extremely well as opposed to the MK IV where taking a turn a bit harder made me cling to the steering wheel :D

 

Obviously the 1.6 does not make the car go particularly fast (still quicker than the Golf), and, frankly, going on motorways is not what the car is about. So every now and then i go out for a thrash in a windy forestish road. That is very refreshing after using the same car for daily driving, I can tell you that.

 

So far it's 11/10, would buy again. :D

You were saying... ;)

[T0M722]

I don't frequent this forum often, but when I do its for good reason...

 

I bought a car!

 

It's a 1990 BMW 318is E30 in lazur blau metallic, 5spd manual, some enkei wheels (not sure of model name), blah blah. I've had it a week and so far am enjoying it very much! The 318is is said to be a poor man's M3, so I'm quite happy with it as a first car.

 

 

 

I've always looked enviously at this thread wishing I had a nice car like the lot of you on here - so I'm finally glad to contribute to it myself and show you all my very own car :)

[Ryzza5]

Well done mate, but why did you wait a whole week to tell us? :toetap: :p

[The Compensator]

:drool: Congrats. Welcome to the club of manual RWD coupes from Bavaria. :shug:

[Rassva]

I'll be joining soon hehe.

[RobikV3]

The 318is looks good Tom :) Always liked the standard 3s over the M3 one

Honda ftw.

 

But yeah, the whole mpg thing, this is why I bought an Evo ha.

 

Nice 318, good base for a 325 swap and welded diff ;)

[Margebadze]

needs body polish

[T0M722]

Thanks all, I'll V10 swap it :P :nuts:

[calster17]

@Tom722: Should just keep her as she is! The 318Is is a bit of a hidden gem! :) But she's your car, go enjoy it any way you want! :D
