Default Time for something a little more practical.

I have been chewing over getting a more practical car for a while and I have just (well a few weeks back) bit the bullet. S went and I got a 120D M-sport convertible instead. Certainly doesnt have the pace of the S but with the crappy drive I have to work, I rarely get out of 2nd gear anyway. 4 seats are handy though and its far more economical to run. So far very happy with it but will always have a soft spot for S2000s. I have to resist waving when I see other drivers as it was a habit I got in to!

I am sure I will do it at some point but I expect to be looked at as if I am a loon or something.

I prefer Rilots solution but an S is pointless if you dont get to rag it

I agree and its a difficult car to sit in traffic with, doing 10 mpg for most of the journey. I couldn't afford to keep it and run another car as well so it had to go.
