Yesterday I accidentally sold my Audi TT mk3 and bought a 2018 Mazda MX5 mk4… loving it so far, the best “silly decision” I’ve ever made, you only live once - nice to have my mid life crisis in my late 30s!
I only commute between Woodford / Chingford so it doesn’t seem such a “silly decision” tbh, loving driving it…
Post pandemic (!) what are the advantages of joining this club?
That’s nice The MX-5 isn’t all about speed, 0-60 times and all that, although they are pretty brisk, but just about fun…! I’ve only been a member for a few months. When Pandemic restrictions are released a bit more there will be discounts to various car meets, National Rally’s etc… You’ll probably link up quite quickly with other members in your area too… I’d say just have a browse around and familiarise yourself with what the MX-5OC offers…!

Welcome from Romford 
Hello Alex, and welcome. A fortunate accident you have had I think 
. I had my mid life crisis start in my early 30s too. I am over 50 now and it’s still happening 
.
Very nice RF you have bought yourself, the black mirrors and wheels look great. It you want to play with the look a little bit you could think about smoke black side indicators.
Doing that wouldn’t suit my Snowflake White MX5 though 
Ah lovely car you have there! My first Audi TT (mk2) was white with black wheels, so I know I’ll have to make an effort to keep my MX5 clean though 
I’m trying to justify the “accident”… I don’t need much boot space anymore (I’m a music teacher, but don’t gig like I used to constantly in my 20s). I can fit my weekly shop, and being the RF it’s as practical as I’ll need it to be for the winter months commute to school too
Thank you! If you love your MX-5, you’ll clean your MX-5, but nothing beats driving an MX-5… especially an ND, not that I’m biased in any way, shape, or form!

So far, any excuse to go for a drive - my partner and I went for McDonald’s drive-in this morning with the top down, despite it being far too cold
Thankfully they have good heaters for when the top is down!! Scenic routes have become so common for me - Aldi is like 2 miles away but always seems to be about a 15 mile round trip

Welcome Alex from not far from you in Chelmsford. My son has a Mk3 TT , it’s a very good capable car , but if he gets the chance to take the MX 5 he will. He says the MX5 always feels special , much more engaging to drive .
Like your RF , very nice . Might see you around Essex .
