Damien we found all the same issues with Ireland so we got up and fu(ked off out of there. We have relocated to the hills around Braga in the north of Portugal amd we love it. We have a CLA estate temporarily for the seats and I have a CLE 53 amg coming early next year. I will move up to the CLE 63 with the 4lt V8 when it is released in 2025/2026. We bought a 718 boxter gts with the 4l for driving in the hills out here and it is an absolute dream. Soft top and that engine behind your back is just amazing.

I really enjoyed this one, so great to see a replica on a list as well! I am the proud owner of a speedster clinic 356 and love it to bits, it gets so much attention and I have no problem telling people it’s not the real thing as it works perfectly well not being so at a fraction of the cost. I left most of the choices and thought the Renault was a great pick, I am an Alfa fan and would’ve gone for my little 916 twinny spider instead of the mx5. You are right about foreign roads, my partner and I spent a week or so in Sardinia driving on fabulous roads and hired would you believe a a little Fiat Panda, which was so much fun was very adept on all of the road surfaces the best of which were probably the best roads I’ve ever driven on.
