Only joking
I'd get an early Scooby or Evo I think. Good allrounders
or something without a roof. I love convertables. Great on weekends and sunny summer evenings! I will always own one.

I'd get a zetec-s fiesta, and get some of Broms wishbones and rear beam and some coilovers. Most of my 'fun' driving is on country lanes in Shropshire and Wales so this suits perfectly. Horses for courses
