MX5 in a ditch in Wokingham :(

[onyx39]

Back roads from Crowthorne to Wokingham this morning, a new MX5 on it's side in a ditch.
Hope the driver is ok

Had obviously been there since last night, surrounded by Police tape.

Drive carefully peeps!

It's not at the 90 deg. rt. at the end of the long straight past the garden centre is it? Claims a few every year...

Was still there last night, seems odd to leave it there for so long?

Blimey, I have not been back past since, I'm gobsmacked, it's not as though it was a "banger"

[savvy]

Was my thought, too. MK3 I think it was?

Noticed this Tuesday at 10:30 ish. Looked like it had been there since the night before.

I was gunning it too.

It was still there tonight looking very sorry for itself...

I'm at an MX5 meet at Pinewood tonight so I'll ask around to see if anyone knows about it. Where is it?

Just had a look on Google maps, not sure of the road name, but best guess is Easthampstead Road, leading into Wokingham.
If you head away from Pinewood Park towards Wokingham, you have a choice of two roads, take the left fork, its down there.

I haven't seen anything on the forums about it, nor have I heard anything on the MX5-grapevine. Was it a red one (the new kind of red that's popular at the moment)? I know there is an owner of a new 25th Anniversary Edition who lives in Wokingham.

No it was white IIRC, or certainly a light colour.

But you would assume that he had sobered up sufficiently in a fortnight to arrange recovery?

I expect so paralitic that couldn't remeber where his OFF was

[onyx39]

So, how long does it sit there before I can write to the DVLA and call "dibs" on it?

[onyx39]

finally got a photo

I've stuck a post up on our forum to see if anyone knows it. I'll report back if I get any intelligence!
