My poor baby!!!!

My car has been crunched!!! Me and my boyfriend were driving down to Kent at the weekend to visit his family and an old boy in a mazda mx5 thought he could overtake some cars parked on the road with a car coming the other way but changed his mind and reversed 13ft (!!) backwards into my baby. My right wing is beyond repair and has a mazda shape dent in it. oohhhhhhhhh the pain my Peugeot must be in.

I really want to replace it because its a year old and dirty and I cant be bothered to wash it! can anyone suggest any phunky convertibles for around the same cc price range? I fancy a MG FT but are they bland?

MGFT are mobile swimming pools, have NO boot space whatsoever, trims/interior fall apart easy and they suffer from electrical faults.

Not a rant, but my experiences of selling them over the last couple of years.

Still look gorgeous though. Good looking cars aren't supposed to work

noooo, apparently where i got my CC from, the mechanic used to work for Rover MG, and said they often blow the head gasket, also i test drove 3 and they all were mushy in the gears and very stiff on the accelorator pedal, so much that after a month of driving you may find your right leg has got more muscles than your left. LOL

The new Beatle convertable looks fun though.

I'm very tempted to get a 2.0cc as I've only got a 1.6 at the moment but I've had soooooooo many problems with my cc, the build quality of the car is just horrific and the word 'quality' is used very freely, but I still love the way they look. I have rattles in my left ear, right ear, a passenger seat which doesnt work, its 12 months old and it never starts, its handbreak broke and rolled down a hill, but its pretty

.. typical girl.

OK so an MG is out, maybe a Mini Cooper S, again, so pretty...

Mini Cooper Cabriolet looks very nice. rag roof though but very cheeky

Wait for the Tigra to come out. Looks the nuts but only really a two seater and has the Corsa interior

dont go for a rag top!!! i know the mini is too small for a "proper" cc like roof, so why did they go and spoil it?? ragtops are horrible
