  Only a slight budget breaker then. Would definitely be exciting.

  I've also seen people do mods to these with colour added to the different segments of the screen or the full display. They look good fun to play around with.

  Honda reliability will definitely be a plus point. I used my Integra daily and although stiff was great at that job. Easy to pootle around in and drive sensibly, but equally great when I wanted to be a bit of a hooligan.

  I'd look at my budget and figure out where I'd get the most for my money. Also, it depends on what you'd be using it for. Ideally, I'd go for the FN2 or Mini over the Mk5. I figure that the FN2 would probably feel the most special of the 3 and because they are bit of an ugly ducking, they seem to be pretty good value from recent internet searching.

  My mum had a nearly new Mk5 GTi and it was a good car but it never felt particularly special (compared to thinks like the Clio Trophy she had) and they are little long in the tooth now.

  Before that she also had an R53 Cooper S which was good fun . I've not got any experience with an R56 but I'm sure @NurseHolliday should be able to give loads of info.

  Finally, I've no direct experience with the FN2 but the one of the last cars I owned in the UK was a DC2 Integra and it truly blew me away and indoctrinated me in the ways of Honda. Even at the age it was, it felt like a precision instrument and always exciting.

  I had Son of a Stag do a pair of Levi's for me about 7 or 8 years ago. I'm still wearing them.

  I love the look of them but when looking at the AMJ deals realised that they were a whopping 46mm!! How do they wear compared to something like an SKX?

  Thanks Regal.

  Some of that I'd read before in other articles. Aside from the laziness of the design and the use of influencers to sell tat, I'm not sure on how they used unscrupulous business ethics?

  That link doesn't work but I'd be interested to read the article if you have another link?

  I love these. Not sure how it would wear on my wrist but love the look of them in pictures.
