Any MX5 owner club members out there??

Is the website down?? Haven't been able to get on for weeks :(

I am buying a MX5 on Monday if it passes the MOT and need to join it to get cheap insurance!!!

HELP!!!!

Also, any really good MX5 sites?

Pete

Pete,
MX5 OC has been down for some time don't know why. I also use MX5 Mods Forum I have found it to be a little more friendly than the owners club.

What car have you found ?

Allan

Allan,

I only wanted a 1.8i and NOT in red!!

I have ended up with (possibly) a 1.6 poverty model from 1995!! in RED!!!! It was simply the best at the price - as its to be a 3rd car I couldn't justify too much of a burden on purchase price!!

It's a UK car, of course, thinking of resale!! it can't drop in price much below what it stands at the moment :D

So, summer fun at a low price overall, hopefully!! :D

Pete

Try this forum ;)

Yes, very good!! ;)

Let me see, what do YOU drive??

Corrado's, TVR's, + S2000 ...... the first one is, without doubt, a womans car - the second spends 51 weeks in the year broken and the 3rd? well, its ok I suppose ..... but the MX5 is STILL king!! :D

Pete

I do faster haircuts than you! :p ;):D

I was just thinking the other day that iv not seen you for some time.

Mazda made the MX5 for the ladies, and the RX7 for the men ;)

Jokes!!

I've been spending my time looking for a good MX5 and spending time on their BBS (Which has now gone down?!)

Pete

Traitor :D:D:D

Pete,
We had a 1.6i before the 1.8i and thought it was a great little car, we were very sorry to see it go, enjoy :D

Allan

Pete...

What spec is it ? and how much did it cost ? - knowing you not very much :D :D

You got rid of the Escort ? - now that was a hairdressers car ;)

Gastro

heheh men in MX5`s is funny, they do it to make me laugh

Allan - thanks, I had been told NOT to get the 1.6i as its underpowered - so, I looked at about 20 MK1's 1.8's, some ok'ish, all with history missing/incomplete, all with dents!!

THEN, a coppa at work rang me and said he had agreed a sale on a 1.8i and he had heard I was looking - would I like to see his? sweetie!! ;)

Anyway, went to see it as it was parked 200 yards away - looked absolutely genuine (Just how they should look!) - I still had to drive it. So, started it from cold - what a sweet, purring engine! - drove off expecting a milkfloat type acceleration ... but NO quite perky, even with the added weight of me in it!! ;)

I didn't want to like it at all, BUT, it drove absolutely straight and beautifully ................ I was SOLD!!!

Anyway, it's having an MOT on Monday - we shall see what happens!

Gastro, hi matey - its the poverty spec mate, just what I wanted - a 3rd car should be cheap and easy to fix!! That means NO toys like airbags, PAS, ABS, Leccy windows and such!!

Price??? Hmmmmmmm, well, its a 1995 1.6i Poverty Model with 60,000miles on it .... so its not a costly version :D I reckon I am getting it at a bargain price ........... shouldn't drop any lower EVER I wouldn't think!! another IMPORTANT point for a 3rd car - NO Depreciation!!!

RESULT, I reckon!! ;)

Pete

PS Gastro - yes the Escort Cabbie went to Bangkok - HONESTLY!!!! That cost me nothing to run for a year, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! ;) and it was great fun - hairdresser jokes aside :D
