“Just looking” is our family phrase for, Dad is about to spend money!
Yes you guessed, I am “Just Looking” at getting an Mx5 . Really is time I stopped looking and took the bait. Early Nc looks favourite but there again Hmm.
Living in the Northwest in a little place called Oswaldtwistle. All the kids have flown the coop. Recently moved to anew property with large heated garage. Seems a shame not to fill it with an Mx5.
Well here is looking forward to asking lots of silly questions, meeting up with Mx5 devote.
Welcome. Get yourself to ‘Sports cars in the park’ Lotherton Hall Leeds, 23rd September. There should be well over 50 MX5s there and plenty owners happy to talk MX5s.
JUST LOOKING Well I have gone & done it. Bought a nice tidy 06 Mk3.
Had a few trips out now sort of shake down trips;
Harrogate set off in the dry then torrential rain. Only issue some drips in the passenger side foot well. Research on this excellent forum and some new Windscreen Scuttle Panel Screw inserts ordered.
Blackpool Lights Saturday gone Top down heater on and heated seat for the boss. Very, very slow into and through the lights. No signs of any overheat issues or other foibles.
Shake down to date = successful
Plan is to keep car nice & dry through the Winter avoiding that nasty salt stuff then run as is next year. Next Winter, well maybe some suspension & brake tweaks.
Glad you got sorted with one. That, “I’m just looking” phrase is meaningless we all know it’s code for " I’m gonna get one" well done for doing your research and bring prepared to sort the bits n bobs. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the experience of owning a 5. Tinkering, maintaining, modifying, cleaning and polishing, oh, and actually driving them is all good fun! Whichever you choose to do, one or all of them, enjoy yourself.
