Claim to fame: When I lived in Lost Angeles, i worked as a motorcycle courier. One of my regular drops was delivering scripts to the Voyager/ST cast residences. Including Janeway, Dax, and 7of9. Jeri Ryan in a bathrobe? Yup, seen that. Not the worst job I ever had...JPB wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 6:46 pmI've been flicking through my Voyager USB dongle - containing all seven series of Janeway's stint at the steering wheel - and am now at S04.E01, which is the episode in which 7 of 9 first comes into the story. 7? Most human beings with a pulse would surely have given her at least an 8.

Hmm, nice enough for sure, but it was the Borg hardware that appealed to me. That, and 7's grey skin pre-rehumanisation.Jeri Ryan in a bathrobe...
Rich, apologies for the sci-fi related wobble I seem to have caused, but I am working tirelessly as ever to find a Mazda MX5 for you and there's a particularly inexpensive example that I think is fresh to the internet, so have a wee look here: https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C959668
The body may not be perfect at that sort of money, but it has a long MOT, a very long time in the hands of its current keeper and best of all; we can see its registration number!
OK, so it failed its last test for some fairly significant rust, but now that it's had some welding to the sills and other bits and a test pass issued in January, you could drive it 'til next January then scrap it and you'd still lose less than you would in depreciation on a new car. Go on, you know it makes sense!
Oh, and speaking of making sense, I've even found a breakdown truck that ticks some boxes:

That has to be a bit of a bargain, IMHO, because the example of this model that I sold in April 2016 went for £91.42 and it wasn't as well preserved as the one in the link.

Re: breakdown truck
OK, but for the love of the Federation, please don't use the words "Jeri Ryan in a bathrobe" as a web search, I did and my eyes are still recovering.

Re: breakdown truck
I've managed to find an even less desirable example of the Celica from that era, a car so rank that it makes the one with the Aston badges look right..

Cheap enough, I suppose, but as far as I remember, the only Toyota used in a Bond flick was the 2000GT Coupé, whose roof the movie makers cut off so that even the folk in the back row of the upper circle could still see Connery's syrup:
That Bricklin appeals for some reason, can't think why I like it given that its front bumper looks like the undercarriage of an excited dog, but it would be a great alternative to those all too common DeLoreans seen at car shows, covered in BTTF fans' drool.
