The mug!

I'll be picking my MX-5 up on friday. I'm not sure whether to hope for a sunny day so I can put the roof down, or some lashing rain on the Northumbrian countryside (I know which I'd put my money on).

In an odd twist we both own an S-Special (92 and 96 type 2) Great cars, I love mine.

I've never seen a later S-Special, what bits does it come with?

Well..

If you have light rain, you can roof off.. And still have fun. As above 50mph or so the rain doesn't come in the cabin, goes straight over the top.. Excellent!

So you've had two years to think about your first post and that's the best you could come up with?

I think mine is a Special S... its a 1996 Eunos and has BBS alloys, Bilstein suspension and MOMO wheel. Also has air con and LSD, but think thats standard for a 1,8 import....

Elec windows/mirrors and Air con standard on imports.

See the Eunos guide below for the list of "options"

Clicky for the Eunos/import

Clicky for the mx5

I would love to own an MX5 at some point, preferably the 2nd gen.
I have a feeling my E30 is soon going to turn into a money pit, and an Impreza turbo will still be out of my reach for a while (being nearly 21) so an MX5 would make a very fun runabout.

Agree with Mr Harris completely - The MX-5 is just too numb and slow to justify it's billing as a giant-killing drivers car.

Shame, I actually considered a mk 1 many moons ago...then I drove one.

Who bills it as a giant killing drivers car?

For £2k name something better.

[Wolfsbait]

Everything from EVO to old copies of Fast Lane have billed it as a Giant Killer...

For 2k I'd go for a 205 GTI or even AX-GT if you can find one.

Or if you must have the scuttle shake of a convertible I'd save a few more pennies and get an M100 Elan...

[hornetrider]

Speaking as an ex-owner of an AX GT back in the day (lowered with Yokohamas) it did handle very well - but it'll never be rear wheel drive.

So you like FWD then?

Oh, and as for scuttle shake. Drive an MX-5 and a 205 GTI back to back, and tell me which one creaks more.
