We wrote about this crazy Australian MX5 dragster last year and you can read the original article by clicking on the photo above.

The car re-emerged last month for further trials and now seems even meaner than before:

It looks like this was just a half track test run for this little MX5 but it’s certainly got some potential. I think we will see some serious numbers out of this beast once the driver is up to speed.

The new Mini Roadster has been hailed as a real competitor for the MX5. Well, it has four wheels, two seats and a soft top, but in my opinion that is where the similarity ends. This cabriolet has all the styling of a sandwich box, suffers from heavy torque steer and in my opinion completely lacks class. If you are a bit of a lad then you might see yourself in one of these, but anyone with an atom of taste will not be drawn in. I have put this film on MX5 Roadster simply so that you may know your enemy….

What do you think?

I just drove 40 miles across the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors to Castleton with the roof down in a temperature of 2C. As warm as toast thanks to the heated seats and the wind blocker. So get out there, never mind the winter, you will come home refreshed and invigorated!
