Hello everyone,

I’ve just bought another MX-5, after a break of 6 or 7 years, so thought I’d check back in - it was a very useful forum for the last 2 I owned.

My latest is a 2006 NC 2.0 Sport - 95k miles, some rust, quite cheap, in Winning Blue. I’ve only had her a few days, it seems a bit unloved, so sorting a few bits and pieces while I get to know her.

I’ve had a mk2 and a mk 2.5 in the past, and originally was looking for another, however all seemed a bit costly or very tatty. So my wife suggested looking for a mk3. So far so good, and slightly more comfortable for someone of my height.

I’ve got another car, so this is strictly a weekend car, and will be SORN over the winter. I like to do a bit of mechanical stuff, so looking for some sympathetic improvements to tackle.

Looking forward to seeing some of you in the south Birmingham / Worcestershire area soon.

Dave

Welcome!
Just out of curiosity, is it a 06 or 56 plate, I part exchanged my NC down your way just under a year ago.
It was a 56 plate NC 2.0 Sport in Winning blue…

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the welcome :grinning:

Mine is a very early 2006 car, 55 plate, so not the same car. But nice to know there are a few others about.

There seemed to be a lot of 2006 NCs in Winning Blue, or at least I noticed quite a few in the time I had mine, not many other years seemed to be in Winning Blue though :thinking:

Thanks for the welcome everyone, and I look forward to meeting you all as the situation permits.
