From Wyre Forest, Worcs.

Currently searching the forum for information - I'm looking to eventually own a Rover 220 GTi 16v 3dr hatchback.
I'm new to Rovers, I owned a Mk1 MX-5 last year for 6 months before I decided to sell it. It wasn't my thing.
Having found myself with loads of time on my hands I thought I'd try and get into classic car ownership, but a slightly more modern car!

Currently driving a VW Golf GTI Mk7.5 Performance 5-door (DSG) with a stage 1 APR remap, which has more than enough performance and luxury - it just won't get me into the classic car shows

There were few 3 doors for sale a short while ago - there might even be a list...

As a matter of interest, what was it about the MX-5 that you didn't get on with?

Interested to hear your thoughts on the MX5, too! My Dad has an NB, and it’s a brilliant little thing to drive. Horrible to work on, though!
