Are MGs sports cars for girls?

johnnyskeleton

I'd love an aston martin, but have no money. Are MGs the poor man's sports car (if you can fit into them), or are they sports cars for girls?

I've also posted in motors.

Senna

YES there are for girls, along with the MX5, dont let anyone tell you different.
the MX5 may be a great drive, but when a mans driving one, it just not right.

You just have to stand on a street conner on a good day and wait till a man drives by in either one. then you see how ridiculous you'd would look in either.

Your only choices are;
Toyota MR2 1990-1999
Honda S2000
Lotus, elan, elise, whatever.
maybe more, i'm too drunk to think.


IN CLOSING, DONT DO IT.

I'd love a bottle of remi martin but cant be arsed getting up out of my chair and going to my drinks cabinet to get it. is hennessy or covisier the poor mans remi?

jd83

sennas right my brother made the foolish mistake of buying one years ago, he ended up with nothing but abuse and slagging from friends in work and me.

johnnyskeleton

Thanks Senna and rory - it's something I've always suspected but couldn't seem to get a definitive answer.

I guess if you want a sports car you either need a lot of money or be good at hotwiring.

PS admiralofthefleet, you prefer remi over hennessy?

SligoBrewer

hennessy every time

FunkZ

Get an Impreza

Robbo

The MG F/TF is a little Tony and Guy but I must confess that I do race a 1971 Midget every once in a while.

Hairdresser's car.

The only car I'm interested in is the moped the takeaway guy uses to deliver the goodies on !

mik_da_man

Get A mitzi Evo 7 or 8.
Quicker than most mentioned above - and possibly cheaper.
And not difficult to get in/out of

The old MG's are really good fun to drive. And don't look that bad.

It's very hard to find a manly convertible. Anything*with a folding hard-top is out for a start. I can't think of anything contempory beyond an Audi A4 convertible that isn't a bit ginger beer.











*Except for the folding hard top Silvia I'm thinking of dropping a turbo-charged engine into.

Turbochargers, superchargers, soft-tops anything below a v-8 is for girls. SL-63 (when it comes out) will be THE car. Evo, imprezza etc. pff go tuck your tracksuit into your socks and un-break your voice and drink a tin of red bull while yer at it.

On the other hand ive only ever driven a 1l yaris..... and the recent one was red

You had no credibility even before you said that. If you've never driven a turbo-charged car around the Nurburgring you don't know what you're missing. You have to work so hard to keep the turbo spinning and the boost up - that's real driving. Turbos are for girls? What planet are you from?

enda1

Well i should have been clearer. What I meant was I've only ever owned a yaris. But I've driven other cars. In fact I'm a test car driver so sucks to you!!

And no, turbos suck. Pure driver-car combination is what I'm after so normally aspirated all the way!

I presume you like nitro too. Why not strap a couple of rockets onto the side of yer plastic go kart and be a real man...

smashey

Lads, if you want to argue about driving, take it to the feckin motor forum.

enda1

Too true, sorry lads.

Buy whatever car your funds provide and as long as your beer belly shows wedged into the steering wheel, then we'll know you're a real man!
