Hi chaps!

My MX5 Dakar based in Harpenden....



...although sadly for the car that pic was taken in Luton...

Soon to be swapped for something with a bit more power.

A supercharged MX5.

Out of interest, what prompted the decision to buy another one rather than supercharge the current car? I'm getting itchy feet with my current car and fancy something with a proper hood and some luggage space again and I'm pondering a return to MX'dom, but I think it'd have to be a blower this time too.

Hi Chris,

Essentially I roughly worked out how much it would cost me to get my car to the standard I wanted it - supercharger, decent ECU, new suspension all-round, uprated brakes and clutch etc, plus cosmetic repairs and a full rust-proofing.

I reckon at least £3k for all of that (very little of which I am sad to say I would be able to do myself).

Then I factored in time, travel to get these things done plus the fact it is my only car.

It just seemed easier to me to sell it and pay less than £3k in difference to get a car with most, if not all, of those things done.

I love the MX5 and I would dearly love to make mine a keeper. But there are too many compromises.

HTH!

Very nice, see that jag almost everyday, when i'm walking/driving to my mates up your road. Saw you at the king will lights yesterday. The Jag sounds so good.

I must admit I'm quite tempted to go back to an MX5. I'd forgotten how frustrating it was to drive a really minimalist car (like my current track toy) on the road and I'm quite tempted to revert to something with a decent hood and a boot. Right now I reckon it'd be a choice between a TVR V8S or a supercharged MX5, but I should probably give the Caterham a little longer to persuade me otherwise now spring appears to be returning!

Thanks, it's had the ceramic brakes upgrade



Gets delivered Wednesday.... I'm sure I'll rack up a few miles if the sun keep shining!

Too right you will. Country lanes galore. We've got enough of them! They sound absolutely immense driving through small towns like Hertford though, it echos when it gargles. Even my 350Z used to turn heads because of that

[zmaster007]

Finally got around to give the car a good spring clean and got some pics with the new wheels!!












Gave dads land barge (S320 LWB) a clean as well
