The last ring trip. And yes, the roof leaks. On the passenger side :-D

That is a cool pic. Nice.

Like one of my Spitfires with the houndstooth check cloth trim and Lenham hardtop.

I guess it's nice to see MX-5s faithfully reproducing the Great British sports car ownership experience by rusting.

Very quickly: To Alex the author.

I thought use of word 'natch' ( a word oft used in the 80's) was an appropriate sign off for an 80's car & The Human League reference.

Bullying the new boy - tut tut...

Hello fellow Garlick

It always freaks me out when people address you especially as some of it is not totally complimentary.

But I do know we are not related

You seem very keen to stress this...I promise I won't call you Auntie

[Kateg28]

Don't worry, I think I have convinced the PH collective that I don't know you. I promise to give you a lollipop off the tree as I always do when you call round at Christmas

Great choice of car, here's a picture of mine at Cadwell. Hope you enjoy yours.

[Gilles27mr2]

You have made a very good decision! Shame you've got a cd player in yours. I love my original tape player!

[Scrof]

I do have the original tape deck at home, which came with the car - I was considering putting it back in, as the CD player is pretty awful, but then again most of my music is on CDs which does give it some merit!

Thanks, all, for the positive comments and some cracking pics - I'm glad to see there's still lots of love for, and owners of, MR2s on the board!

Scrof,
Here's a very handy link for you. I've used the BGB for everything and it is superb.

I have had mine for many years now and have replaced most of the panels, great cars to drive though.

Funny thing...

I've currently got an E36 328I Sport Coupe(that's for sale).

And I've just bought a MK1 MR2.

Pick it up on Monday. Nice Xmas present to myself I think.

Holy....

My old car!

One of my worst mistakes, selling that car... so much so that I've gone full circle and bought myself another!

I hope she's been good to you
