RE: PH Heroes: Mazda MX-5 Le Mans 24

I was a little upset when Sue told me she had sold the Lemon, she had good reason selling it on and to be honest it will get more attention now. I can't believe she has managed to clock up nearly 100k on the S2k, something that could not have been done on the Lemon.

The Le Mans had done 87k when I sold it! I haven't done 1000 miles yet in my new green MX-5!

WGT Auto Developments built a rotary engined MX5 for me. It's cheaper, lighter and more powerful than the latest BBR conversion. I would have bought one from Mazda if they would have made one.

I assume cost has held Mazda back from making an rotary engined MX5, but I've always thought it would make sense from a performance standpoint, and Mazda's history, as it would just enhance the cars lightness.

Funny did about 15 laps of Silverstone between two 996's - one of which I passed. I don't think those guys think of mx5's as hairdresser cars.

His 996 is a Ducati.. he drives a BMW!

Wonder if the indicators work

Holy thread revival/cool story etc,

saw one of these yesterday in Ollerton near Knutsford, went past wastegate a chattering, sounded good and left a heady aroma of unburnt hydrocarbons in the air, made me smile anyway.

Anyone on here ?

Didnt realise it was an actual model.

[Iva Barchetta]

As this has suddenly 're appeared here's one I saw at Edenbridge car show recently.

Another thread resurrection. The car is now for sale at the Hairpin Company for £25k. Still looks very tidy but not to my taste!
