My MX-5 has factory fitted options which I've yet to see on others on the road.
Not that special but I do keep an eye out for others. Just a pity the 1st owner didn't see fit to spec the Eibach too.

Mine is black, like many many thousand others, it has yellow seats again like many thousand others, that's it really, nothing unique, nothing special, its got a yellow PH sticker on the rear diffuser, that's about it really.

If I crashed it into a ditch, I'd probably just leave it there.

Ive seen lots of cars mainly older ones registered new years day but as dvla r shut i never figured out how.
I would guess they put the forms in and postdate them to register from 01 01 so i guess a lot were dealer pre regs?
My m coupe is the same, wasn't a pre reg though. I just assumed it was to make the car a year "newer"".

My throttle linkage is held together with a paperclip, after falling apart on a busy roundabout. Probably held together better than it was originally.

Mine has a two tone interior that only one other in the uk has. (afaik)

Also, it makes progress in a way that no one would ever expect from a casual glance.

I love overtaking. cloud9

Oh, and it has an orange and black sticker on the back that says 'Novice' which always amuses.

I like my car this morning.

Not at all.

When we were on the old system of a new plate in August the year mattered a lot. A 93K Cos would have been worth a grand more than a 92K at 6 months old, hence why they did it

My 924 is exactly one week older than I am (going by the UK registration date at least).

only 36 red CV8 monaros in the UK and mine is bone stock standard...that must be getting on to unique as most monaros on the HSV forum seem to have at least 4million bhp!

My 1992 MR2 Rev2 is one of a tiny handful in all-original condition. Original wheels, seats, steering wheel, gear lever, cassette stereo, and the front wheels are once again running their correctly-sized 195/55 R15 tyres (for years they were like hens' teeth to come by, so owners fitted 205/50 R15s, then read scare-stories about handling and fitted even bigger rears. Aftermarket alloys inevitably followed, followed by aftermarket everything else).

My car was made on the 5th of June 1998, and I was born on the 5th of June 1992 biggrin

It is also one of the very first E46's, which I like smile

Summed the feels up for my car in one. Oh, and the sound.

Believe it or not.
