What is the definition of a mid life crisis car?

I think it helps that they are so cheap to run/insure so can still have the Stage 2+ Eddie at same time

You consider 40 to be mid life? :grin: I'm 44 and nowhere near ready for any car which some folk might consider an MLC special! An MLC car is a bottom rung bright red Cayman that my middle aged boss at work has just bought himself. You know the sort.....ticks the 20" wheel option, but the smallest engine and smallest brakes that look like saucers.
I like TTRSs technically, but I wouldn't own one. If I wanted that much power in a small, but heavy package with a 4 ring badge, I'd get the RS3 instead and enjoy a bit of practicality to go with the speed.
MX5, hmmmmm. Now you've ruined it! But you can redeem yourself by buying a Flyin Miata though :happy2: http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/first-official-pictures/mazda/these-go-up-to-eleven-flyin-miata-launches-nd-mazda-mx-5-v8-conversion/

sorry to disappoint you pudd, but according to official statistics at 44 you are more-or-less "past it" (mid life that is!) :signLOL:
see https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/lifeexpectancies/bulletins/lifeexpectancyatbirthandatage65bylocalareasintheunitedkingdom/2014-04-16
better get that flyin miata organised pronto - before it's too late! :grin:

Awesome, V8 MX5 here I come :laugh:
I'm not from the UK so those stats don't apply to me :grin:

I've been saving for years now and I passed the Ford dealer the other day.
I very very nearly did the exact same thing!!!!
