Because right now i have nothing to spend my money on but cars, I'm sure it is perfectly capable but to buy an Mx5 i'm only going to have to put another £1500 in to get one that i'd want to own. the issue i've got is i dont want a niggling feeling in the back of my mind that i shouldve bought the 5 instead and sell the clio in a years time after spending £2k in bits to both lose a massive amount and not have got the use out of it. I want to keep what ever car i am about to start building up for a good few years so i get my time out of the money i spend on it if that makes sense?
