mx5 newbie (ex AE86 owner)

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 Stick Tongue Out

 

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             Cool

the soft top kinda leeks on heavy rain (seller forgot to mention that …Angry)

thats why I bought the hardtop.

Either I find some money for a new softtop or the hardtop will be on for long Stick Tongue Out

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 there and welcome Big Smile

Nice car. Nice price (I won’t tell you how much did I pay for mine) Smile

I don’t really dig the smurf look, but without the HT it looks great.
