I often toy with the idea of selling mine, then an evening like this comes along and I remember why I love it.



Edited because of Samsung's infuriating autocorrect.

My S Ltd. Added a few bits to it since, but not found anything as cool to snap it with

Thruxton....being driven with many smiles per gallon!

Finally got my side stripes fitted today. Really pleased with how they make the car look now!

Sold this one 14 months ago .... missed it so much , I bought it back last week !! UK BRG Limited Edition 131/250.

[Evangelion]

Funny you should say that, sold my RS the year before last.

Last year, bought it back.

Now it's up for sale again!

Here's my sunny day pride and joy. 1996 Merlot with about 50k on the clock. Even look great sideways on a forum posting (no idea how to rotate the image)

My little rust bucket, got my heart set on a set of gaz coils for it, the factory Bilsteins are really feeling their 100k miles of hard Scottish roads.

Here is my latest Mx5, had a blue 1991 Eunos import before and it got in my blood. Looking forward to the summer with this!

On paper this is my wife's, but it's actually mine because I drive it all the time, found it etc. The wheels are new due to the drivers rear original 15" 5 spoke cracking whilst I was driving (scary st!) and whilst we were at it I treated her to some HSD's which are bedding in nicely.

I love this car!

This is my 2006 NC Sport. BBR 200 kit but properly mapped by Skuzzle Motorsport. WIM fitted lowered springs and sorted the geometry.

Picked up this little number on 20th July. 114k kms (so roughly 70k miles) on the clock. Imported in 1999. 1.6 with not a spec of rust on it.



Already sorted a few issues:

• Radio wasn't working. Which was a shame is it came with the original Mazda head unit. Swapped it for a Pinoeer BT unit, after sorting our Edward Scissor-Hands' handy work (pun intended)
• Had an immobilizer fitted that didn't actually do anything. Just a red blinky light in, what would have been, the female receiver fora fob. SO ripped that out (installed by aforementioned Scissor-Hands).
• Greased the incredibly slow electric windows
• Checked all rain rail bolts were tight (in the correct order)

On the To-Do list:

• Calibrate speedo (been converted to MPH but reading 90mph when doing 70mph)
• Service (Engine, Gearbox, Diff)
• Replace ditch finders (in spectacular, smokey fashion)
• See to numerous key scratches and scuffs on bodywork
• Underseal
• Replace discs and pads and bleed system
• Take from Land's End to John O'Groats

Nice Mike, looks very similar to one I just picked up. The plate sits very high though.

Recently bought this. Sold my E90 M3 DCT for it and I'm absolutely loving it. O.Z wheels incoming, Meister CRDs and Blink fast road alignment booked.

Then, 200bhp conversion, probably with Blink Motorsport but I'm going to speak to BBR too. Can can anyone vouch either way for either company?

Interesting. What was your issue with the BBR map? I'm trying to decide between BBR and Blink for a tune.

Godamn Photobucket!!!

Here's how she looks now...

[TVRees]

I'm in the middle of a TVR-S body off restoration, but I recently couldn't resist buying this MX-5 beauty.

It's a Mk. 2.5 VVT Sport, 6-speed with LSD and it's a fantastic little car and amazing fun to drive, especially on the twisty country roads.

Generally the car looks pretty good for it's age, with some rust in the to be expected places, but nothing that a bit of elbow grease and steel welding won't fix.
If I can force myself to stop it on the weekends, maybe I'll finish the TVR
