Well the MX has gone. Gutted to see it go but I've hurt my back and getting in and out was becoming rather painful so it's gone in a straight swap. The new owner didn't even want to look around or test drive it, he just said he knew it would be a great car (it is). I've now got this







Seems a nice little car, kit is factory fitted so it's standard bar the wheels. To be honest, I'm not sure how long I'll keep it, it depends on how long it takes to get the Datsun running smoothly and how reliable and economical this proves. Even if I do keep it I don't have any plans (boring I know, but need to be saving money) bar changing the stereo and perhaps a few subtle bits. Not very interesting I know, the wheels are somewhat chavtastic, it's wrong wheel drive and it is a bit on the boy racer side. Will be ok for the time being though

Apart from the wheels that looks like a nice run around.

What engine size is it by the way?

I agree with you on the wheels, they aren't to my taste either. If I keep it I may source some 15s instead. It's the 1.6 16v, seems about the same as the MX5 performance wise; hardly quick but nippy enough

I quite like it. Wheels will get you the wrong type of attention though!

Sorry mate, you missed it by a few hours frown



ETA - no one can sell MX5s at the moment. So be cheeky and go for a big discount!
