Even JC gets it wrong from time to time. In his own works, if he would have one then it is an un-cool car. Sooner spend the money on a TR (not a 7) or an MG Roadster.

PS 6 weeks, 3 days until Top Gear starts again.

Yes, but it is quality 1960's and 70's rust. You just can't get rust like that any more

Question is, the MX5 on paper, in 30 years will be classic, just as my 5 series will be and any other of that age, but what will actually make the grade as a classic, providing we can still drive them then and the EU has not strangled them out.

205hp the thing would rip your arms of lol

Doesn't really count, it's a pure MotoGP bike, and try 250+HP!!
However .... it sounds fantastic and I'm sweating on the Australian MotoGP at PI again ..... Loris certainly had it working at Brno, he just outpaced the entire field.
Best sounding MotoGP bike so far has been the Aprilia triple, absolute music.

Some of the time!
ALL of the time would be correct!
That show and the people involved are a perfect example of why the Gene Pool needs chlorinating!

You won't be interested to know that the next series of Top Gear starts in 6 weeks, 2 days, 4 hours, and 8 minutes (at time of post) on October 8th then?

Why? Because they dare to have a sense of humour?

Maybe a touch of jealousy because our Jeremy owns a real GT40.
