hello everyone ,
i purchased my red mark 1 mx5 in june 91 while i was still young and single .
For two years i spent an amazing time buzzing around the roads getting envious stares wherever i drove .
then … marriage…we continued to “share” my mx until the inevitable happened and we now needed 3 seats!
when we buy a little runaround, i realised my relationship with my little mx was going to change drastically .
good job we had a large garage . she sat in the garage under covers and now and again my wife would saythings like
"dont you think you should sell the mazda " … to which i would reply …eh, no im still going to drive her!
one more child and a further nail in my little cars coffin .As my boys grew they asked about the little red car in the garage and begged dad to take them for a spin .dad willingly obliged and tried to justify the cost of having 3 cars on the road .not possible .
so there she sat polished ,loved but , wanting more from me than an occasional sunday afternoon drive .
in 2003 my marriage broke and my wife “gave” me my car as part of the settlement .
a new home and a new garage …here she sits …still unused
time to say goodbye and accpt that she needs someone who will cherish and care for her like i did in those first few years .
her c.v reads like this H registered…one lover from new… just over 35thousand miles of pleasure in 17years …wheels and tyres gleaming like new bodywork as bright and clean as the day she left the showroom …the day i fell in love
will anybody give her a good home?
