My Shiny Thing!

My shiny thing!

After a handshake to seal the deal; she was mine (although do you ‘own’ or do you ‘adopt’ a 5?)! I wasn’t able to pick her up for a couple of weeks, and so I took this picture to remember her during those painful days apart… 

 

Momma's Pride

 

My first day with the beaut that she is. I promise that the top was down all day, but this was taken at bedtime and so she was all set-up for the night… I couldn’t resist giving her a little goodnight cuddle! (Is it just me, or do the cars in the background look a little jealous of her good looks??)

 

I’ve now owned her for 9 days, and I have never been so chuffed with a car (or anything I have ever purchased). Wow, and don’t they just drive like a dream! I have to confess that I have contracted the MX5 Owner condition of ‘Smug Smile’ - I just don’t seem to be able to stop myself. Facebook, text messages and conversations with friends and family seem to be saturated with details of my new obsession. When I am not driving her, I am thinking about driving her, or all the things I want to do to make her even better… a new hood is very definitely the first thing on the list!

 

Anyway, I just wanted to share these pics as I was asked to do so on the New Members Intro Forum section. She’s my new shiny thing, and I am totally bewitched!

I think its a permanent “adoption”

Your thoughts are exactly how I felt on adopting my “little mate”

That was about two and half years ago-but the feelings are still the same.

LONG LIVE THE FIVE. Cool

A pretty woman and a pretty car, what more could you ask for. Lovely motor, looks to be in good condition. Well done. :slight_smile:

I love shiny things too , especially if they are Mk1’s !!  - it may well become an obsession - just watch out for Magpies  Wink
