MX5 in a ditch in Wokingham :(

[onyx39]

Back roads from Crowthorne to Wokingham this morning, a new MX5 on it's side in a ditch.
Hope the driver is ok

Had obviously been there since last night, surrounded by Police tape.

Drive carefully peeps!

Was still there last night, seems odd to leave it there for so long?

Blimey, I have not been back past since, I'm gobsmacked, it's not as though it was a "banger"

I'm at an MX5 meet at Pinewood tonight so I'll ask around to see if anyone knows about it. Where is it?

Just had a look on Google maps, not sure of the road name, but best guess is Easthampstead Road, leading into Wokingham.
If you head away from Pinewood Park towards Wokingham, you have a choice of two roads, take the left fork, its down there.

I haven't seen anything on the forums about it, nor have I heard anything on the MX5-grapevine. Was it a red one (the new kind of red that's popular at the moment)? I know there is an owner of a new 25th Anniversary Edition who lives in Wokingham.

No it was white IIRC, or certainly a light colour.

Probably a DD

But you would assume that he had sobered up sufficiently in a fortnight to arrange recovery?

[onyx39]

So, how long does it sit there before I can write to the DVLA and call "dibs" on it?

[onyx39]

finally got a photo

I've stuck a post up on our forum to see if anyone knows it. I'll report back if I get any intelligence!

I drive by this every day (silver s2000 if anyone ever sees me! never thought to look in this forum before...

Anyway my passenger snapped a photo of this a while ago if that helps add to the other photo for you guys who haven't seen it/making enquiries elsewhere. Not the best snap ever though. Still there as of today! Makes me drive ever so slightly slower around that bend though...

Minus rear plates I noticed this morning.
Being stolen piece by piece?

That car is still there!

Most of it

[onyx39]

Its gone!

I am assuming recovered, or possibly stolen, who knows.
But definitely gone.

Shame. I was thinking about "borrowing" the seats.

Maybe someone "borrowed" it all..

Never mind, another one will be in there soon enough if we get a bit of snow.

Funny... I saw this thread updated, and knew it would say this

[onyx39]

I'm starting to miss it now.
