I bought HRH a little white 2nd hand MX5 last christmas to practice driving a manual gearbox and its cute... its also about $1500 cheaper than replacing the GTO's 6speed, uh... no because I love her, honest!

Is it really that wide? If you'd gone for an R34 instead (which I seem to remember you considering at the time), would it be skinnier? I've never really considered the width of those sorts of cars. Good for handling though, I imagine.

It's about half a foot or so wider than the GTR I think, handles ok but its still a real handful because its a physically big vehicle. Put it this way, even my Caprice was easier to park and they're not exactly small!

So 'handling' only applies to high speeds, and race track driving? Ok mate

It's that much wider?

I guess I just haven't seen many around to get a proper idea. Plenty of R34s everywhere these days though.
