It's crazy what is going on with used car prices over here at the moment, especially with Miatas. I bought my 2006 2 years ago for $5k and I see similar cars, same age, same milegae etc going for $7.5k+ now. Unfortunatly my brother in law wants to buy mine so I'm going to have to cut him a family deal  We've just bought an sq5 and they were disappearing out of garages as fast as I could drive there. I was planning to get a 135 and possibly do an engine swap (or at least a silly tune), but the prices are nuts. We have a hire car for two months, and it is absolutely killing me (pov spec camry with the worst gear box in the world), but I might just wait for a second car. Anyway. Enough about me... Get ready for some cold windswept techs in the UK. And it will be shi ttingly cold, regardless of the time of year. Take a big coat and gloves. |

Haha, after living in sunny southern CA for 6 years and 5 in North Carolina the weather is the part I'm dreading most about moving back.
I suppose it's swings and roundabouts to some degree. Sitting in line waiting for your autocross run with the top down in 95f+ and crappy Miata air con also isn't too much fun.

Not used to it at all. But better than the perma-drizzle... |

I drove my RHD Mazda in Spain without problems and then my LHD Citroen in Uk with similar ease. |

Agreed, the hand of drive isn’t the problem, it’s getting used to changing gear with your right hand.
