A little sad to see her go....

13 years of fond driving memories...A blast to drive for 45mins, much more gets tough on the back. The most fun was driving the winding roads up to Skyline
in the SF Bay area.

The '98 M Roadster is a brilliant car, and I'll probably regret selling her in due course.
However, nothing in life stays the same and it was time to say goodbye.

A real drivers car this one. Not sure if anyone will ever make anything similar, too much electonics and other gadgetry to make "driving easier and better"
No traction control, naturally aspirated 3.2L straight six, rear wheel drive with the top down & 240hp puts a smile on your face if you enjoy cars

To the future and what lies ahead.
HAGWE all,

Cheers,
Tim

I understand you, that is such a great car! I drove one, once, and I still have

Goosebumps, when thinking about it... But the European M was around 320 HP, no? Best, Nicolas

They gave it more power in 2000

and traction control, here it was bumped to 300hp... Cheers, Tim

Thanks for the precision, Tim. I thought it was low powered due to the US market.

But that's your decision. Better get a replacement. Having a roadster is really a joy. It also increases your tetosterone level or literary your sex drive , a must for a man who enjoys living. Watches , cars and pretty girls to admire & look at. That'...

Geross,

thanks for chiming in...too funny. Cheers, Tim

If only we would stop doing cars around marketing clinic tests...

we could still enjoy real driving.... Real kart feeling is missing today. If only electronics would still be primitive... Sorry to hear you let go a great roadster Cheers Luc

Luc, I think those days are sadly over

Unless one goes for some very exotic and/or niche thing like an Ariel Atom, main stream car companies won't go there. Time has moved forward and most drivers prefer technological aids for safety and convenience. Having said, they do have their place, but ...
