Hiya Russ and Family
Thank you for your interesting further info re your purchase ‘across the pond’ 
Bullit and I have been to Scotland [ditto…loved it] and also Wales
Most of us Brits would only be able to dream about the trips you’ve made in your MX-5 across your glorious country 
If you can locate the Thread on this Site
“NC Rear Storage” regarding your ‘family and luggage not fitting in’…it might make you laugh

Great photo’s and story. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your car… Yours has done more miles in 3 days than mine has in near on a year! (it is off the road currently to avoid our awful weather)
Great pictures and write up👍
Just finished watching 1st series of Landman, based in a hell hole of Texas oil production. It’s good to see every country(or county) has it’s beauty areas as well. Bit like Scotland…Central Belt where I live ( Industrial bits ) is bleak and severe…then you get to Stirling-ish and keep driving N/NW to put a song in your very soul.
