A very sad day today

[hornetrider]

For today, I have just unsubscribed from MX5Parts special offer emails

You now need to subscribe to Pelican Parts.

(Maybe, I don't know if they do the newer cars)

So what's the story bud? Had a run-in with them? Just unable to stop buying unnecessary parts? (LOL) Or are you now 5-less?

Pretty sure it's just because he's flogged the Roadster - he's "upgraded" to a Boxster!

Hornetrider will be back. At some point in the next 6 months, the nagging doubt that every petrolhead that spots a bloke in a Boxster is thinking the same thing ("Couldn't afford a 911 eh? LOL!!") will become such a pain that he'll chop it in for something more interesting. Not saying they are not a good drive btw! But personally, I would not..

Me too, mostly because they send me stuff I'm not interested in (Mk3 bits when they know I have a Mk1).

Correct-a-mundo. I wouldn't be putting that in quotes either fella. Don't get me 5's are a great car and I loves 'em - but they're no Porsche.

No they aren't, but then to be fair neither is a Boxster

Agreed - if I could have a Boxster I would, but will have to wait a few years yet... .

Too true, no need for a £1000 a year warantee ready to deal with the £6.5K engine bill needed to fix the slipped cylinder liner or broken intermediate shaft at any point with an MX5

[hornetrider]

And how much did you spend to get to 250 odd brake?

I love jibes about having a poor man's Porsche, I really do. They only ever come from dreamers in cheaper cars...

[ali_kat]

Not this one - I just hate Porsches

[RVVUNM]

I've got an MX-5 and a Porsche, and I love um both.

Why didn't you get a 911 Cab? They are going for Boxster money now?
