More than 3 years ago I followed a wonderful 250mile route someone showed me, my first proper drive in my then new MX-5.

I went back today, it was divine. Sun was out, barely any slow traffic, lots of interesting, lovely cars out to wave to. Brill.

Looks more like Photoshop AICMFP.

Looks nothing like a Photoshop, just good photography.

Far less glamorous than Cape Canaveral, it's Rugby cement works, I did tweak the white balance a bit, but no hardcore photoshopping.

I'm back in the club!! After 5 months of owning my Ford Focus, that I bought as I thought it was about time I had a 'sensible' car to drive to work, I've sold it and bought another MX5!! Found a nice Nevada 1.8 close to where I work and got it for a very reasonable price :- ) Happy days!!

^ What colour is that? Looks similar to mine, but could also be blue or black?

It is 'Strato Blue'.... it's dark blue but lots of people have said it's almost got a purple tinge to it!

It really brought the colour out when I cleaned it yesterday- wash/ autoglym clay bar/ autoglym ultra deep shine polish/ autoglym extra gloss protection followed by a layer of Dodo Juice 'purple haze'.... love it!

Looks nice. I cannot decide weather or not to put the spoiler onto mine or not...

It's a difficult one, from some angles the spoiler looks great, from others it's not so nice. Think it depends upon the colour also.

Both silver. I have a bootrack on the daily which makes it more difficult to decide.

Well. I'm back. (Though i'm sure it was never noticed I was gone! smile )

Very addictive these 5's aren't they...



I know my garage isn't going into the 'Who's got the best garage on Pistonheads' thread, and I know the picture is terrible - it's the first photo I have of my summer project - a full thread will be available as work progresses - just wanted to share it with you!
