Well that settles it, if YOUR WIFE doesn't like the MX5 then the OP should certainly not buy one.

Im building a v6 powered lotus 7 at the moment, but my next car will be a v8 powered mx5.i cant quit understand the mentality whereby if youare driving say an MG .its a guy driving a classic car.but if you are driving a MX5 which are prity similar in a number of ways to a MG you must be gay doesnt make scents to me

Not "quit", "prity" similar but "doesnt" make "scents"

oooh, sounds interesting. What engine! have you seen the Stalker [!] cars out of the USA that use a domestic V6, I think from the Ford Ranger. Quite successful in autocrossing over there. And a V8 mx5 - I've been in lexus and Chev/holden Clubsort R8 powered mx5s. what we're you thinking! There's some argument for the Ford smallblock being the easiest choice.

To quote Michael Gambon. "I used to be a homosexual but I was forced to quit because it made my eyes water."

The Mazda luce would be my choice of V6 extremely handsome engine, with enough NA tech' to roll up to 150MPH in a 7, quote unquote.
yep a nice engine .but look up stalker cars specs .supercharged 3.8 155mph.still see mx5's as ok.its just a bloody car

Brilliant Jazz!I was trying to think of a polite way of saying that those who worry about whether a car looks girly (or manly as well, I suppose) must have a fragility about their sexuality and how they may be perceived by others.Now, I don't need to say that!
