Tis a bit of a fall back plan if i don't get an MR2 turbo. Insurance aint much more than i am paying on the beemer and is something completly different to what everyone else has

Wouldn't have thought parts would be much more than i am payin on my beemer at the mo, and its only 5 years old so hopefully much won't go wrong; but then again it is an Alpha

yeah, the one in the pic only has 55K on the clock and is 4.5K. But would prob spend a bit more and get a minter. MR2 Turbo is still top of my list but may have to go test drive one at the weekend, as it would be a more sensible and practial option than the MR2

Think thats the earlyist. Not sure about the Fiat; just aren't as refined as the alpha and as quick as the MR2 turbo.

Yeah thats what i was thinking, dunno which way i wanna go Had the class with the beemer and would be nice to have some power now. But doin a lot of motorway miles it would be more comfortable in an Alpha or similar
