I bit the bullet

Well, after months of reading 'MX-5' as the answer to EVERY what car thread I went and purchased my very own little Mazda today

A 1999 Racing Blue 1.8S with 47k on the clock, taxed and Mot'd until January and already I can see why they are always recommended

and the car in the background before I'm asked is a 1913 7.2 Daimler Mercedes GP car

Surely that car warrants its own thread?

Only just noticed that.

Have I seen the Mercedes at the FOS by any chance?

[carmadgaz]

May well of done, it's owned by my neighbours mate and was only there overnight so they could go to the hillclimb Sunday morning. Didn't really get alot of info on it other than what I said about it above, next time I see him I shall pick his brains. Might wel be at the Prescott VSCC meet in a few weeks though
