Hello, this is my first posting and I’m a Mazda mx-5 newbie!
I have a brand new mx5 soft top and I love it! I’ve only had it for 8 weeks and I adore it. I had a Polo before so this is a car dreams are made of and I can’t wait for warmer days although I have driven it with the roof down and heating on! I’ve bought myself a bobble hat from the club shop so I’m good to go!
I’ve read a few posts but still feel a little lost…
I love the way I get waves from other mx5 drivers but would love to know if there are any more like me locally…
Here’s a picture of Joe
I suppose that could be West Midlands Area of the Club, my Geography down there is not the best. You should be within reasonable reach of a few Areas possibly.
It certainly looks the part as is I would say. One of the many good things about the mx5 is you can add all sorts to them if you wish. There is always lots of help and advice on here whenever you want it!
Hi, I did reply to you as soon as I read your message but then had an email saying my message couldn’t get through but would keep trying!! Hope you don’t think me rude!
Loved your message - all my cars have been Joe the Lion - a ref to Bowie I suppose…
I do love my car - it’s the smartest I’ve ever had and it’s where I go to clear my head and get a rush.
Finding some useful tips here as to how to maintain my soft roof maybe further down the line and maybe getting a roof protector…?!
Welcome to the club, I’m a newbie too!
I bought a roof protector for mine. It a U.K. Custom Covers Half Cover (cost just under £100). Easy to put on and to remove, folds up really small so takes up very little (precious!) boot space and it’s supplied in a zipped bag. I recommend it
