New Owner (NC2, first MX-5) from Somerset

Hi all,

Picked up my 2011 Sport Black (41k) a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it!

Need to get a few bits sorted (underseal, replacement door speaker, squeaking roof catches) but apart from that it seems clean (no leaks so far haha).

Looking for clubs and meetups in the south west (I’m based in South Somerset).

Any good specialists in the area?

Hope to see you around!

Looks great, low mileage too. Should keep you going for years. Nick in Sheffield

Your Sports Black looks great and you will have “Miles of Smiles” in that one👍

Somerset is striking distance from Solent Area, so if you fancy joining in on some of our drives and events, be sure to check out our programme on the Solent Area of the Forum. Regards Mal (Solent Area AC)

Thanks Nick!

Definitely, will check that out.
Cheers Mal!

Great Sport Black.
What number is it?

Thank you!
It’s 191.

Looks awesome! :sunglasses:

I joined the NC club only last month. 1st time owning such a fun car. :grin:

Currently located pretty close to South Somerset. I’m in the North Dorset area. Hopefully see you out there dude.

Sorry I can’t help much with advice currently.

What a lovely looking car! Ours is from the same Sport Black series (we’re number 140).

Wishing you many happy miles!

Looks good. I recently bought a 2010 Miyako a couple of months ago so looks similar to yours, though in silver. My first MX5. I’m in north Somerset, so if you’re ever around Wells drop me a line and we could meet up and have a coffee. Just had a BBR 180 conversion fitted and have got Meister R coilovers which totally transform the car. If you haven’t already got the coilovers buy them now as I can guarantee they’ll be the best money you’ll ever spend. Have fun. Somerset is MX5 driving country :crazy_face:

Only specialist anywhere close is MTech in Westbury, Wilts

Great looking car, welcome to owning a legend :grinning:
I am in Weymouth Dorset so may see you around, there is a place called MX-5 Heaven near Dorchester, cheers.

Nice, the Miyako is a great spec! Was very close to buying one.

Definitely, we’ll have to catch up soon.

Thank you, will have to check them out.

See you on the road!

Cheers man! Which NC do you have?

We will have to meet up sometime.

It’s an 06’ NC. 1.8i 5 speed soft top in galaxy grey.

You must be loving that hard top with all this rain we’re currently having. :smile:
I tried looking for one like that but they are a bit more than I wanted to spend for one in a good condition. Yours looks sweet though!

Nice, there are some really tidy NC1’s out there.

Yeah, I decided to spend a bit more to get a newer one with a hard top and more some creature comforts as it’s my only car.
