Got the 5 out of the garage for the first time in 2 weeks, just to check it over and have a look at it :eyes::eyes::eyes::heart_eyes::sunglasses:

Top tinkering. I put my mk1 away for the winter about a month ago.
You’re thread is making me want to get it back out again.

You don’t keep them long Geoff.
Mk3 all the way, once you’ve had one I guess you feel the need for another.:+1:

Hi mick
6 months is about average for me , that’s why I’ve had 7 in 6 years :laughing::laughing::red_car::red_car::red_car: with months in between looking for the next one :flushed::flushed:

i was contacted by the family of the chap who bought this from me in november 2020, sadly the guy had passed away (he had said he was poorly and always fancied a mx5 )
unfortunately he only covered 500 - 600 miles in it .

they offered it me at a decent price and as i know how nice the car is , i bought it :+1:
and i picked it up today ,

Are you going to keep it and enjoy it for a while? It looks like such a nice car.
I am a bit biased, as I also have a lovely little red MK2, which I love!

all depends on circumstances :melting_face: :melting_face:

Great! I hope you get a chance to have some more fun with it.
Yes, I truly love mine - I bought it in 2013, and kept it for three years, then sold it to my husband’s cousin, but I missed it so much that I bought it back two years ago! It still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it!
