I agree.
In fact, I was thinkng similar ref ‘nothing better about the Winter than Summer’ the other week. I managed to find some:

  1. Not so many thick idiots chucking all sorts, including beer bottles, out of cars on lanes. Happens of course, but not as much as in the SUmmer when they’re ‘having a good time’
  2. People thankfully decide they’re not into music anymore when Winter rolls around
  3. No screaming kids, playing football in streets etc
  4. No real pollen to cascade over cars, and give hay fever
  5. Dog’s allowed on beaches (at least withing non-silly distances from me)
  6. Less people in general affecting my life in the Winter.
  7. Bird dung marring car’s paint much less an issue in the winter (Spring a nightmare for it)

After that…Summer wins everywhere :slight_smile:

I have come up with a couple of benefits regarding winter v summer (not that they outweigh the drawbacks by any means).

  1. No flies or wasps, around people or splattered on cars.
  2. No nasty tar spots on bodywork (but lots of grit & salt).
    That’s it I think.
    Drawbacks of winter too long to list & would probably crash MX5 OC site.

They need to do a purple like that, would suit the ND well :sunglasses:

No idea what those photo/camera settings were mind you, to get ND Meteor Grey displaying like that!

Yeah it does suit the car well, Mazda could be a little more adventurous with their colour choices.
I had an MG Midget that was a shade of pure back in the day

Just a bit! A wider, and bolder colour palette please Mazda…

How good would an ND look in factory yellow paint, for example?

Yeah that true, my second choice colour for an NC2 would be yellow, don’t see many about

It had been a bit dark so I had been messing on with the levels on my phone and as I tinkered I thought I like that colour so saved it… no special programs just IPhone :grin:

I thought they might have done something like this for the 35AE, instead of baby boomer maroon.

While we’re showing off new wheels. OZ Alleggeritas. 1.8kg lighter per corner than stock, and feel lovely on the road.
