Summary
What does this car say about you?
I think it says I'm rather laid back though with a bit of a racy streak, if that's not too presumptious.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all love it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would, but I'd be far more careful when loking it over and make sure that it's a well thought out choice, rather than an impulsive 'i want' moment.
What are you likely to buy next?
Tough one, either a Toyota Celica or Hyundai Coupe

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
No power steering on the very early ones, but so long as the tyres are looked after it's fine, I think I actually prefer it without PAS. Very nimble.
What's it like to park?
Fine, much easier with the roof down as the rear screen tends to go cloudy after a while.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing major, I think (hope!) most faults are due to neglect from the previous owner. Namely door seals need replacing, slight oil leak, squeaky brakes and recently (alarmingly) the suspension is creaking.
What's most practical about your car?
It isn't at all practical, which is part of the reason I love it.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The roof!
