My MX5 history
Discussion
Well, after having to sell my red MX5 as I got a company car (Astra VXR), I'm now back in an MX5! A bit of detail about both...
This is the Classic Red MX5. It was the base model 1.6, with added 14" OZ Alloys.
I only had the car 2 months, but I did really like it, and promised myself another MX5 when I had to own a car again. In those 2 months though, I did realise that no central locking, no electric windows, etc annoyed me, so decided to get a higher model next time!
It was in gorgeous condition, with only one very minor stone dent on it!
Now, I've just bought my new MX5. Again, it's a Mk2. Again, it's a 2000 W plate. But, this time, it's a 1.8! I now have the extras which are nice to have... Electric Windows, Remote Central Locking, Alarm, Metallic Paint, etc.
In addition to the standard spec, it also has some extras:
Clear Repeaters
Clear Reflectors (Front and Rear)
Clear 3rd Brake Light
Chrome Filler Cap
Chrome Gear Stick and Surround
Chrome Handbrake
Chrome Headrest Bars
Chrome Heater Surrounds
Spoiler
Hard Top
Minidisc player... Erm... :roll:
16" Momo Alloy Wheels
I really like the look of it with the hard top on, so that'll stay on for 10 months of the year. The car is a bit gutless if I'm totally honest, but I'm sure I'll get used to it (coming down from 240bhp). Nice to be back in a RWD car though!
Anyway, the photos:

Hi Mate. Nothing against your MX5 (My ex had one and I liked it *) but it's really going to feel a bit weedy after the VXR isn't it ? I never like the idea of getting something less powerful when changing motors.
BTW* - I bought her it and the b*tch left me 6 months later and took it with her !! Sorry for off-topic venting of biterness.
