[recycled sixtie]

Yes Schumi I have had 2 "hairdresser cars" in a row now. Just sold the '99 Miata Mx5 in May and then got the 2001 Boxster. I have had 3 different cars over the 10 year period that my wife has had hers. I agree that all our cars are good 2nd hand buys, low mileage etc etc. However being sensible is not a lot of fun . Life is for living. I drive standard and my wife drives auto trans. As they say a happy wife is a happy life. We will gently search in the next year or two for a sporty auto auto.
