I had mine for 4 years Skruntie & it never went wrong once! I've had the miggy for just under 10 months & it has been a constant headache! Mind you, i'm older now but not much wiser and that's why I fell in love with the miggy  ;) :y

Your a picky lot - I'd settle for something that just ran for a year without breaking down...

totally agree mate!!the Aston looks gorgeous and the cobra is a classic. For me , the rear of the TVR looks crap, the Rolls is simply too big and overblown, the Masserati is good looking but not in the Aston's league and the ferrari-well, I dont know many people who would choose a prancing horse over an Aston given the choice.....as for the allegro I know of people who never had any problems with them whatsoever and then there was my ex's who's gearbox fell out when she stopped at the lights ;D

...... [size=14]And if you want hear a 1965 UK Shelby and see how quick it is...............[/size] ....

Quentin Wilson when asked ''what is the best car you've ever driven'', replied that one of then was a proper 427 Cobra. He was pootling down a main street somewhere & wanted to overtake the car infront. He gave it a boot full ...... then he was facing where he'd just come from!  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D
