I got one of these ofr me sister on a L plate import, 1.8 version 4 years ago, she's just sold it after, never servicing it, or anything, typical girly girl realy... but the thing would not break.. she only just sold it and still got good money back on it. I would have one of these good cheap clean fun...

Anyone who says an MX-5 is not a great drivers car are usually incredibly vain and like to go around bragging about the latest bagde they have rather than actually knowing anything about driving. They've also usually never driven one.

my current toy (Mk1 Turbo circa 180 BHP) is by far the most fun I've had in a sportscar. Of course there are better more focused cars like the Elise (had 2) and more comfy modern versions of the same thing (Boxster S, Had one, utter crap) but nothing matches the MX-5 for putting a stupid smile on your face every time you get into it. It's a purists car. Just so happens to be so good that ebeyone loves em not just hairy palmed "Drivers".

It's a 100% car, meaning you drive EVERYWHERE at 100%! you can't do that in most cars and get away with it.

Not hanging around with this one, it will be scrubbed, spruced, fixed and re- sold ASAP.

Hopefully we'll make a nice profit meaning 'Project SOTW' can start buying some rather special metal very soon smile
I'll give you £601 for it wink

I have decided to buy one as soon as I have moved out of the city and back into the country where I can enjoy it. sounds properly amazing. And then maybe a little further down the line sending the car to Monster Miata for a v8 conversion.

Why would they want to do that?
There was a discussion going on the mx5 owners club about the gains of doing it.

Figures of 4-6bhp we're spouted.

To me its just gypsy tuning. I thought my smileys would have put across that i wasn't serious.
