I don't need to use my car for commuting or much travel really - so generally, it's just for fun and for getting to the few places I can't reach on public transport (e.g. visiting parents outside of the city). It's a great fun car and I wouldn't sell it for anything (except maybe upgrading to an Exige!), but there is generally something wrong with it at any given time... whether that's a big thing (4 new tyres = £800, or the ABS going), or a small thing, like a leak from the windows because it's a convertible. If you don't need to rely on it for work though, it's not that big a deal.

A rocket powered biscuit tin; if you are a karting enthusiast this is the car for you.
