A GF's dad was restoring an Austin Martin and INSISTED I drive it one rainy night.  So I folded myself up into the thing, barely, head hitting leaky roof, which was leaking badly, and drove it off, around a corner or two, carefully, and parked on the side of the road for some obligatory period, and drove it back.

I can see it would be a neat car were I 5'8" and on a sunny day, not very fast, but fun to drive, but I'm not and it wasn't.  I like the MX5 concept, would own one if I could fit in it.

One of- if not the best car production videos that I have ever seen. 

If you like cars and the emotions that stir when driving them you will really enjoy this video.

Plaid is a stupid name for a car model.

That's all.

I wonder how he had the nannies set to get that much oversteer.

Nice to see the manual in it.  The auto would be faster.

It's a message board handle, not a name. If my parents had named me betarhoalphadelta, I'd have legally changed it long ago.
