You do know your shoe is on the roof of your car? Your white socks will get awfully dirty like that.

Also, nice wheels. Azev A's?

That looks like a bandaged finger and a big plaster on your calf. Is the interior stained with blood? Whose blood?

Haha good observation. I had a nasty bike fall. Needed surgery and can't quite walk properly yet! Also broke my hand.

Have you tried getting in and out of a 5? They're very low and it's a bit tricky if you have a duff leg.

Mind you, probably easier than getting over the sills in an Elise

I'd offer you my Eunos Roadster, but I think I'd be Robin you.

I used to have a mk1 and regret selling. It's not the getting in, it's the clutch. I haven't gelled with the BMW like I did with the mx.

Yup it's a shed, and I love it wink

There are plenty of very high mileage Mx5s' about. If they are looked after they seem to just keep on going!.

Rust!

The front chassis rails are prown to rot on the Mk.2, have a look at a few buyers guides on the net too.
100K is nothing for a '5 but its always better to go in with your eyes open. smile
