not mine, it's Ruth's
mind you, I've already driven it more, and got the first speeding fine (with 65k's on the clock.... 69 in a 60, missed the 60 zone sign coming out of an 80. Saw the unmarked cop car sitting there and everything... )

Nice.

Dunno about the hairdresser bit though. I've had my MX-5 for 12 years and I've never so much as felt like picking up a pair of scissors or a foil.

MX-5 proably one of the best small 2 seater sports cars out there

handle well, go well and not overly expensive

engine at the front, rear wheel drive

good stuff

all based on British designs of course

Congrats Mr and Mrs Micky. Nice work on the speeding ticket. Seems to be a rite of passage

85NIXMIN · Nov 5th, 2007, 03:02 PM

What a lovely car..

It's funny how the MINI doesn't look soo "mini" sittin' next to it in the garage..
I used to park next to my work mates MX-5 and mine looked like a tank sittin' next to it... haahaa

Oh congrats! MX5 roadster (the one with the solid roof) is gorgeous! I love that colour of the one behind in the showroom. I saw that at the London Motorshow and fell in love.

I have a question though: Just how many cup holders does one need in a 2 seater sports car?

MickyD · Nov 5th, 2007, 08:13 PM

haha, it has 4 cupholders.... redundancy i guess

TOJO · Nov 5th, 2007, 09:31 PM

What do you reckon the MTBF for cupholders is?

Nice Mazda, too. I hope you are all very happy. I like the wide angle photo of the garage. Very exotic.

Check out the Australian MX-5 Forum at aus-cartalk.com :: Index, or the American one at The MX-5 Miata Forum.

Whilst you're at it, as a former Club President and Life Member it would be remiss of me to not recommend you take a look at the MX-5 Club of Victoria Mazda MX-5 Club of Victoria Inc. Well worthwhile joining as it's an awesome Club.
