Hi

I'll start off by saying I'm not a regular visitor to this area of the PH forum, although my wife has had a couple of MX5s and has had her current mk2 since new. A great little car which we both love, the MX5 fully deserving of the following and reputation built up by its loyal fans over the years.

Imagine our horror finding this in a local filling station. We couldn't pull up directly behind it for fear of embarrassing ourselves with uncontrollable laughter (the owner was clearly beyond embarrassment).

Edit: plate hidden to protect the guilty

The owner is a giant who pushes it around like a trolley.

I believe that is what the younger drivers are calling a "BGW" or "Big Gay Wing".

Possibly carried over from the Drift scene but definitely not something I will be adding to my Eunos biggrin

Whatever floats your boat I guess!

ROFL, is that even legal? The overhang on those end plates could do considerable damage to pedestrians.

I had a double-take for a second, thought it was a twin of this one:

Waimate 50 by Ben

(which at least is used properly and has a turbo to justify the wing)

I think it was wider than the mirrors! I stood behind the guy whilst waiting to pay for fuel (he actually looked quite normal) and he was looking to the forecourt as my wife walked around it for a look. I really wonder what he was thinking at that time:
"is she impressed, is she, is she, she surely is…" woohoo

On the back of the headrest I think. Perhaps the owner is American and wants to tell everybody.

I admit the wing is too big perhaps, however he might just have a 500 bhp V8 shoehorned in the engine bay.
