Once you've decided to splash your cash on a neat hedonistic sports car, you have one further indulgent decision to make. Do you go for the coupi(C) or the open-top roadster? Closed or open? Groomed or wind-blasted? Swot or swank? In the coupi(C) you get the roof and two cramped yet functional perch seats in the back. In the roadster you lose the roof and you lose those tiny seats. This means you also lose your ability to offer a viable transport solution for your teenage daughter's netball team. Which was how I came to make the same 2.7-mile round trip six times in a row. Each time I asked the girls the same two questions: what brand of car is this? And what does TT stand for?
