A long time ago (well 1998 to be precise) I watched Top Gear and I heard Jeremy Clarkson say of the then new Mk2 that much as he’d love to find something wrong with it he just couldn’t and with those words in my ears I hot footed it up to the nearest Mazda garage in Oxford and bought myself a Racing Bronze 1.8s. God I loved that car and spent many happy months in it. Unfortunately a year later I had to sell it due to unemployment, but that happy time lived with me, so when late last year I was thinking about what car I’d like to purchase with a view to shipping it back to the Southern Hemisphere how could I not look at the MX and I found one. Ok it’s not quite the same, no racing trim, no cream leather seats, but same colour and model and younger. I’m a very happy bunny now and just waiting for some sort of sunshine to get the hard top off and the soft top down[H]
So here I am looking for other people that also enjoy the delights and cheekiness of the MX5 and maybe get to meet up with some of you if there are any events close by.
One of the closest meets for you is the Cobham Commoners, which can be found on Planet MX5. We meet up on the last Tuesday of the month, although I think the venue is changing next month. There is usually a really good turn out so you’ll meet lots of people.
