That's a price I can do.
Swap you Listerine with cash my way? You'll get to find out what a proper gearbox feels like, and not risk dieing every time to do something other than drive in a straight line?
MX5 championship arrive-and-drive pacakge.
then, if you find you're actually Senna, turn your MK.1 into a spec-racer
But yes, as above, unless you like the idea of still having your mum wash your jizzy socks for you in your mid-30's, don't piss your money away on this
Or just get a hot hatch / sports that isn't the size of a small office complex?
90's cars were better generally. No nanny-state driver AIDS or carrying around an entire bouncy castle just in case you overestimate your skills and peppy your way through a wall.
"but they dont all come with turbos...
Could be worse, like those cars that start off life as a perfectly useable shopping-trolley, but then have all the suspension travel removed, a big front airdam bumper glued on (typically slightly wonky) and proceed to think that they're suddenly king of roadtrackroad
Yes, they certainly have
And as much as a front-dragging benz with a clutch pedal and cloth seats is certainly workable as transport....so is the bus.
May as well just get an old Vectra, it's already lost all it's value so you wont need to calculate anything.
I'm not sure which is worse.

Or you meter it out over a few bites and feel just as unsatisfied.....but it took longer.....
...hang on, that's a familiar story.
You do, of course, appreciate how some people don't have such an anal mindset for their vehicles.
As strange as it may sound, some people just put petrol in them and drive them to places they need to go.
That's right, they haven't even thought about doing something simple, like silvervisions...
Ideally it shouldn't be left on hard-standing either.
kick a window out and leave it on bricks on the grass....preferably the grass should be patchy at best and mostly mud.
I just thought that is the condition cars come in if they're not detailed with gaybars and double-entry polishing every 3 days....5 if a thread is made about it
Essex
Any old cotton sheet will do.
The fact you're putting it in a garage is 90% of the battle won.
Only thing I would say, car covers hide....incidents. Come spring, you whip the cover off and BOOM! Where the hell did that honking great dent come from!
Saving money by spending money?
Oh CS, you never change.
Just think, all that time with the megane in the garage, you'll be able to save up for those coilovers.....
...hang on, no, that was the last guy that did this thread
