Hi guys.
Im a Recently graduated Motorsport Automotive Engineer and just bought the 5 to comute to my new job.
Got it about 4 months ago.
Bought an Hardtop but the color doesnt really match
I do like the way it look though (I’m weird I know)
I call it the Smurf
greetings to you & the smurf
tidy looking car. i bet you don’t use the hardtop very much once you get the roof off bug

the soft top kinda leeks on heavy rain (seller forgot to mention that … )
thats why I bought the hardtop.
Either I find some money for a new softtop or the hardtop will be on for long
i used to carry a roll of gaffer tape for the leak until i replaced the hood. didnt look pretty but gave me the opportunity of roof off whenever i had the chance.
Welcome. Nice looking car.

Hello and welcome from another ex AE86 owner which was one of the best cars I ever had, and I wish I still had it.

At last years event there were some more (60+ cars)

PS : not posting more pics here because this forum is about 5’s, but go and check the pictures in the link
Nice car. Nice price (I won’t tell you how much did I pay for mine)
I don’t really dig the smurf look, but without the HT it looks great.
