Early morning Sunday drives...the best!!!

He he just got back from a drive in my 5. Top down, lovely bright early morning sunshine and mild air, empty roads and my Mark 1 to play with[:)]

Early morning Sunday drives are what it’s all about! set off at 7 am and said to myself, right just round the block then Ben, an hour and ten minutes later i arrive back home grinning from ear to ear[:D]

There’s a lovely set of B roads behind where i live, all twisty corners and long straights so perfect for testing the 5’s handling. I’ve never really tried to push my car but i had a go this morning and was flying round a few of those corners, the cornering really is as good as people say! it literally hugs the road and i had a taxi behind me going in to one bend, needless to say it was a dot in my rear view by the time i came out of the bend!

Wow is all i can say, this morning’s drive has made my weekend, i rarely drive my car but this morning has shown me that the MX5 really is a super fun sports car, go and enjoy whilst the weather’s nice my fellow 5 'ers[:)]

I saw a silver Roadster a couple of times with the hood up?!!! i waved to him but didn’t get anything back, shame really as i felt like flashing my lights and saying, GET THAT ROOF DOWN!!! ha ha!!! good times!

 

I’m off to give my car a good wash and wax now he he!!!

Ah, life on the open road…

Just out the shower, now off to play on the York moors for an hour or two…tea and scones at Goathland methinks!!!

 I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN I HAVE JUST HAD A BLAST IN MY 5 EXCEPT I WASHED IT FIRST THIS MORNING BEFORE I WENT IT BROUGHT THE SMILE BACK TO MY FACE I CAN TELL YOU .

 G’day mate, welcome to the Forum

Glad to hear you’re enjoying your '5, by the way, you seem to have your caps lock on[;)]

I did the same as you yesterday, up early and out for a long spirited drive (my excuse was, I was test me gearbox).  Same here I never drive it hard (I have other cars for that) but yesterday was an exception and needs must, what a fantasic motorcar Mazda have made, while not very powerful (mine is a 1991 1.6), it makes up with superb handling, it just eats up the corners, I love it, I just wish I’d bought one years ago[:D]. 

Popped out for milk yesterday, went about 60 miles to do so!  Good times :slight_smile:
