Silver roadster-- beautiful and easy on the fuel.... just not available in the US quite yet.

I have one of those in the garage. I mean the car hole.

You can fit three more.

The holes in the wallets are this size:

No, no, no, not the MaryKay-pink car!!

...from £11,995
According to my conversion widget, that's US $21,781.72 for the base model.
Seems like a little high to me. I'd rather buy a civic and spend the rest on Macs and other things.

How about some American perspective?
1,741 pounds, 46 cubic inch engine, 9.2 gallon tank
107 hp @ 5,250 rpm; 81 ft. lbs. torque @ 2,250-4,500 rpm
TINY. (but that's not a bad thing IMO)

Buy one for that poor 600 pound Isuzu ejected woman in Va.
Re: I found my next car! - mikebw - 06-30-2006
Hmm, no, that would exceed the maximum permissible total weight of 2,270 pounds. With the car itself weighing 1,741 add her 600 pounds of fat you get 2,341. Maybe something to look forward to after you lose the weight.

i did see one up close, though.
