Replacing the 180? - 29th May 2008 10:18am
Still got the 180, but when it sells, what do I replace it with
Had a few ideas running through my head, and Ive got the "wind in your hair" thoughs again. So ideally, It needs to be a 2 seater drop top, something thats designed to be a convertable, not a convertable version of a hard top car as they never handle as well....
Needs to be RWD, and N/A - no turbos!
Initially I thought about an MX-5 that had been played with, found this one on Throttle bodies, but now Im not sure it has enough power for me....
My next port of call was something right at the other end of the scale, a BMW Z3M...
320bhp, loads of torque, but the thing that put me off was running / servicing costs, also, I dont think they look too pretty with the roof up....
So, we get to the hot favorite....
A Honda S2000....
Tbh I think Ive already made my mind up with the S2k - Top gears sports car of the year for a few years running IIRC.
Any comments welcomed though
