Admitting you're female and with a username full of innuendo... You're lucky this isn't the P&P!!

Anyhow, as above the OC forum is great and we're a pretty helpful bunch here so if you have any questions fire away.

Tyre pressures wise, I use 26PSI front and rear on my Mk1 1.8iS with 15" wheels.

If you're in East Sussex you may want to look at the South East Roadsters website/forum. There's some 'how to do...' links on there, plus lots of people will be fairly local to you if you needed a hand with any maintenance and such like.

Had a 1.6 J plate in silver a couple of years ago & sold it with 130,000 miles on the clock. Beautiful little car & handled superbly.

Interior is a little bland, so you might want to consider adding some chrome type details to it, such as the ashtray, heating vents, gearknob etc. Oh & avoid putting houge alloys on it, MX5 just doesnt need that gangsta look & it ruins the delicate handling & weighted steering.

One final thing, dont do what I did & lower the hood when its cold without first heating up the plastic rear screen. A sallotaped screen doesnt do your cred much good.
