  1. So, I'm very reluctant to stop posting in this forum because it's where my love of cars started.

    I did used to own a Starlet for those newbies who don't know who I am - I then sold that to buy a Civic. However, now.... I have bought myself the car I have always wanted.. an MX5. I didn't purposely seek one, it kinda fell into my hands :D. I'll do a brief story with added sentimental values..

    When I was little, I always wanted a soft top car with 'blinking eyes' - if I ever saw one I'd shout at my mum or dad 'BLINKING CAR'. I obsessed over toy cars when I was little and my favourites were always the convertibles. Soo, time passed I got older - started driving, had a few cars now and still nothing satisfied me in terms of driving wise, comfort and style... in the back of my mind I always said I want an MX5, but I never thought I'd have one.. until this year.

    I have a few friends with 5's and every time I saw one I knew I needed one. After about a month of persuasion I finally got one. A very very good friend of mine managed to pick one up for a dirt cheap price (it needed a bit of TLC as such) - and I knew from the moment I saw it I wanted it, but the Civic needed a lot of help before I could even imagine getting rid. The things that sold it to me...

    - It's an MX5.

    - It's red (my favourite colour).

    - The reg plate...(has my initials and the age I passed my test)

    - Same age as me.

    - Had a full respray and brand new roof and dry stored for 5 years up until a couple of months ago!

    Anyway - after that intro... I'm usually one to keep my cars fairly standard and clean looking as I love the standard look with a few slight mods.. So I don't have huge plans other than general TLC, maintain the beautiful paintwork, personalise the interior to my style. But yes, here she is... I genuinely love driving her and I wish I'd bought one sooner. Haven't had chance to get many photos yet as it's rained a fair bit... but here are a couple I took when I first took her home...

  2. Okay. So it's been almost a year.


    SO MUCH HAS CHANGED. Well, it hasn't but little bits have.


    I sourced some teg wheels and drove all the way to Liverpool to get them as they are what I've wanted on her since I got her, took about a week to get them resprayed and fitted. All of which I did on my own again haha!



    Not much has changed elsewhere unfortunately. This is how she sits now....

  3. Just waiting to see what's offered first. Probably not seeing as you're are kerbed ☹

    The kerbing really ain't bad lol. Like 1 mark on one and 1 on other.. other than that they were resprayed last year lol. They're just filthy as they've been in me garage as I have a Civic now lol

  4. Chilli! Or like Mexican night.. fajitas and stuff.. so can do wraps with salad and stuff but have the option for having chilli too! Like a big help yourself.. could have lots of veg fried etc and maybe other meats!
