I guess the laptop will just fit down under hood bit and slim line case for rest - good job I don't play golf. So is £5990 fair for 2005 roaster, good tyres 12 month RT & MOT, 77K miles mildew inside hood - been standing a while. Sorely tempted this afternoon had to wait for smile to disappear (this one shows me why)
Glad you enjoyed the experience, my advice with the price is check out ebay there are cars with alot less miles, one went last saturday for£ 6000 with only 18000 miles on it and there are a few on now, also you may want to try piston heads website, but ultimatley it depends on your on funds.
The luggage space is an issue on the roadster, but i have been away with my wife packing two small holdalls and had everything we needed for a long weekend, and soft luggage is the way to go, just squash it in!
good luck with your decision
