Those rotary engine jobs has an awful reputation. The MX5 on the other hand is a legend in its own lunchtime. We MX5 drivers had a secret sign whenever we met another one.

I dream of getting the latest model, but (a) I'll have to win the lottery, (b) I'll have to wean Mrs Steve off her staidiferousnessitudinousness...
