13 Year Old car sails through MOT
Yep, my trusty old MX5 sailed through it's 10th MOT today
Japanese Engineering at it's best ........
If Carlsberg made a Sports Car, it would be the MK1 MX5!

Oh Bugger, beat me to it by three minutes!
Or, it could be the attachment Pete uses to tow the tolleys back to the pick up point at Morrissons
Is that Eastborne seafront i see?
Oh and nice looking MX5 - Red is the best colour!

Being me, you wouldn't expect me to use the latest 'must have' Polish at £50 a drop ...... now, would you?
Nah, I use Autoglym ....... from the wash to the extra gloss - no point paying silly money for the same effect

Very nice car though....
Question: Why have rear mudflaps on a car that has a short rear overhang and no towbar. Yet has no front mudflaps to stop crap flying up the doors and sides of the car?
How much was the custom fit zimmer?

Nope, it's still solid underneath. The first MOT I put it through was the one that it failed on, and that was just a trackrod end.
