That’s a smart rear-end, what’s the model/colour?
Went to Donnington Park yesterday, good day out, watching some typically spirited mx5 racing with the 750 motor club !

Hi
It’s diamond black (not sure it that’s the Mazda term) NC3.5 Sport Tech with a BBR 200 and GT exhaust set up. When clean I think black looks superb.
Cheers Nick

Completely knackered but the car has done really well.
Living in mid Cornwall allows us to go to many places within a day.
What I have been surprised at is how many normal drivers have commented on the car saying it looks in excellent condition for an old car (I think they assume it’s much older than it is) or they think it’s a new car 
Must have been at least six separate sets of people.
I don’t drive fast or act like a ■■■■ on the roads, I just enjoy driving on these wonderful days.
Didn’t see many MX5 owners on our travels which was a shame but to those that waved in their NC1 In black, hi

Absolutely love the drive along royal Deeside and on up to Cairn o mount and the drive down to the tea rooms at Clattering brig. Aberdeen was an annual pilgrimage as a kid, from Gloucester, to see grand parents and family. Now I am at the time of life where I get to do it in my 5, even if the family has now all gone.

That sounds like a wonderful set of memories,
I’ve had the MX for 6 months or so and I’ve started taking it out early on Sunday mornings for what my Wife calls my weekly Hoons. Now the confession this is the first time I’ve done this run in over 30 years, too many years driving big heavy saloons took all the fun out of it. The weekly drives have been a revelation though , there’s nothing like a empty road roof down and a nice twisty road to make the years drop away !

Left home in East Devon on Friday morning and drove to relatives in the Brecon Beacons without touching a motorway 
. Some lovely roads and good fun.
Left the Beacons this morning and drove all the way up the middle of Wales to Porthmadog through some amazing scenery and I’m now going to spend 3 days on the Ffestiniog railway- absolute heaven .
Regards

MX-5s and steam trains. Now you are talking. I trust a few beers will be taken in the evening just to go for the full whammy. Enjoy.
Beers were indeed taken last night and will be this evening and tomorrow evening
