the 5er is different kind of fun.
in stock form, the 3er is the best compromise for me as a fun and family car, period. the only things that need some work are the brakes and shed a bit of weight.

lotus elise' design philosophy is performance by light weight. thats why I want an mrs, not too expensive and if I hit anything, its not such a big deal.
Cant agree anymore. MRS are now only 70-10K HKD and lotus can be a double.
If you want fun cheap car, get the MRS or the MX5

for me, if I already have a 7 seater 2nd car, porsche 911 would be my choice for 2 + 2
Second to that. I would be more than happy with just a stock 997 base model. Buying a second car is not that a big deal. It's all the maintenace cost behind that stops me thinking.

My V6 cables are in and so the LCI tail lights will be installed soon. Can't wait till the sun comes out again.
