i don't know why i bought it but i did, mazda mx5 complete with a hard top for 3 bags of smart price peanuts and a four finger kit kat.

photos i hear you say well its a silver mx5 with a silver hardtop, much the same as all the other standard mx5's and it didn't blow my skirt up far enough for me to take any. maybe tomorrow ;)

1.8?

Not the easiest cars to drift, need to be balls out, but then given your motorsport history I don't think that will be a problem :lol:

:think: Completely confused why a UK car would rust and a JDM wouldn't? Surely the UK car should come with better rust protection???

His other car is a new V8 Range Rover!!

He's swapped the MX5 for an S2000 now.

Due to being on our rosds for so long now the lack of protection on the jdm cars mean they have caught up with ours rapidly.
