So basically this happened.

OK, not really, My MX5 has gone from fun daily to an impractical and uncomfortable for everyday use, project car. So I decided it was time to pick up a car I can get too and from work in without spinal damage, and also with some actual useable space in the back.
I was looking at everything from E30s, to EFs, to S13s and old Celicas, but realised that getting another project car was a F'ing stupid idea, so I hit up the used car lots, and in the sea of Astra's and Hyundais, i found this bright yellow granny spec ek1 cxi, a boring, completely stock daily driver, that was still kind of fun to drive.
I have no plans to do anything major to the car, at least not until I've got the other car sorted, Immediate plans are Cup Holders:D (you've no idea how happy I am about the idea of having a car with cup holders) and floor mats that don't slide around. Future plans are gli Tach cluster, sway bars and Some non-crap looking wheels if a decent deal comes up.
So not much exciting happing with the car, but will be turning to you guys with any queries I have.
