so, i'm continuing my search (AND SAVING) for a roadster, but this time the search has expanded
i was chatting with a friend and they bought up the BMW Z3, which had completely eluded me before that point
and i've gotta say, the idea of a more laid back roadster with a 6 cylinder out front could be fun. This does mean i'd be looking at all of the 2 litre and over models tho. Nothing against the 4 cylinder models, but at that point it'd more fun to look at something mid engined again.
which means the current line-up of "maybe that one" is:
MG ZT
BMW Z3
Toyota MR2 (3rd) gen
and I know it's much newer than the others but I think the Abarth 124 Spider is very cool, but I don't much feel like financing one, so it's a no-go
