Been a long long time since I have been on here,as no longer have an MX5, when I did, I used to go to Carl at CBS autos in Nelson. He has massively helped in this community in the past, and through my Mazda , I became close friends with him.
He has has had it very tough in the last few years, one Illness debilitating him for nearly a year, which has led to his marriage ending, this was just after Covid which also nearly put him out of business.
My mate Matt has created a GOFUNDME.
This is for my mate Carl who owns CBS mazda in Nelson. His dad died a few days ago ( cancer ) He’s been looking after him so he’s had to temporarily close his garage. He has gotten behind on his rent and the Landlords locked him out and he can’t get access to any of his tools. His wife has just filed for divorce and stopped him seeing his lad. He’s at a very low point and I’m worried about him. Don’t normally do stuff like this but I think he’s hit rock bottom and his close mates are concerned.

There are other issues that are more personal , but Carl really needs a some love and support from the car community.
