Why don't you write something about them then?
Also, a major appeal of our cars is that they are old. They need work, we
can improve them every day (by repairing something).
Also, if '67 MGB's were sold new now, and they would by now be as
plentyful as Miatas, a lot of people on this list would not drive one,
they wouldn't be anything special.
Personal Comment:
If I had to buy a new car and I'd have the choice between
MGF, Fiat Barchetta, BMW Z3, and Miata,
I would probably buy the Miata! <No comments please>
My opinion was formed after reading a recent comparison test of the 4 in
Germany's larges car mag.
