Had a run down to Cornwall this wkend, around 450miles all told, the 5 celebrated its 100k miles in style with glorious sunshine ,top down & twisty coastal roads aplenty. Fab driving weekend smile

Of course there are many much more venerable 5s here with spectacular milages, but reaching the 100 & being in such good shape & rarely missing a beat, speaks volumes for the 5 IMHO, (miles not kms). Aaaah its going to be a great summer!

I was looking at a 1.6 Import with LSD/Leather etc at the weekend, but insurance want £3500 for a year frown

Good effort! thumbup

It seems that with the right amount of attention (and sometimes none at all!) these little motors just keep on going!

A slight bend of the truth my dear husband. More accurately you got them for Xmas from your then adoring wife. Your wife purchased them from MX5 parts. Of course, your wife most certainly wouldnt have done so had she known you had been running around having an affair with a younger women for ages and had planned to leave in the New Year. Not badmouthing you in anyway you understand dear -simply clarifying your posting a little. wink

Glad you are going to have a great summer.

Where did this one come from?

And in this little quiet backwater???

Brace yourselves for an invasion.

Oh and can I have a bucket of Salted please.

...a younger women...
Surely its either younger women (plural) or a younger woman?






I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist adding a touch of grammar-nazi to the thread, it wouldn't be the internet otherwise! As you were chaps...
