Very nice mate... i personally like the colour

Get yourself down to Performance 5

I highly recommend their brake pads..Axiss Ultimates as they transformed my old MX-5.

Enjoy

Cheers for the kind words. I never wanted a convertible, let alone a bronze one but I needed a cheap run around and fancied something rwd with a slippy diff and I saw this advertised a mere 4 miles away. Pretty happy with it so far, the slight leak is a nuisance though!

Leak? Try adjusting/replacing your rubber seals. It's quite often that.

How much did you pay, if you don't mind me asking?

It was mine for £3.5k. It was the cheapest UK 1.8i S on autotrader at the mileage with aircon and full history.

Not bad at all!

If you look in my profile, you'll see what I paid for both of mine. More than that!!!

I was quite disturbed at paying £3.5k for a 10 year old but then I am a tight so and so!

3000 miles a year, that's crazy. I thought I'd done well with an average of 6000 a year!

Haha, yeah I know. It was some blokes weekend toy, with the odd track day chucked in. Was looked after well, and always serviced every year.
