MX-5 Owners Club in the UK and Miata.net in the US - both good friendly forums, Miata.net obviously the much bigger of the two.

It's like Scoobynet, but with less swearing and general rudeness!

Be CAREFUL there!!

They tend to take themselves much more seriously than us lot!!

Not sure why as they own and drive one of the best fun cars there is??

Don't, whatever you do, hint or suggest that its not really a Sportscar! .... I did once - but I think I got away with it!!

Hey Dave, that link doesn't work... !

I spent my entire time taking the p!ss out of my wife's 1.6i, until I had the chance to witness an MX-5 Turbo crapping on everything at a trackday, including plenty of Subarus. It was pushing out almost 250 bhp with a weight of just over 1,000 kg.

It might look like a hairdressers' car, but that one deserved some respect!!

Mark.

It was a tongue in cheek comment. Actually, against their peers, they are a very good car

Cool

Dave,

No offence taken mate!

When I have enough money I quite fancy getting an £8-10K MX-5 and spending around £5K turning it into a trackday monster...

Can't see it happening for a while.

Mark.

4-5K will get you an early car and 2.5k will get you a turbo/supercharger

c'mon guys, you cant be serious????

if i was rich enough, id buy every mx5 going & donate them to the army, so that they could use them to test tanks out on, whether they run over them, fire at them, i dont mind, I hate the fookin things...

just my opinion of course.
