A rather wet and windy Bedford autodrome, but still lots of fun.

Is that the one that was photographed outside the AA box in Norfolk ?
Hi Raymond, unfortunately not, that car owned by another member is a beautiful example

Like you Ray, I didn’t renew subscription, however, it’s amazing that I still get likes, badges and messages I’ve had a great time with the club, made some great friends and learnt a lot! Take care and stay safe.

Yes, Like yourself I have had a good time with the club too,
As Car clubs go, the MX5 club is right up there with the best,
However, ( understandably ) has a limit on what can be discussed in general chat ! Some seem Scared of their own shadow ….
The two things the World needs at this moment it to discuss Politics and Religion…
But both deemed too ‘ Taboo a subject for open discussion… It’s as if a strangle hold is placed upon free speech. Just as with the MSM… (Media) So for that reason I’m glad to be leaving … Apart from the other reason. I’ve sold my lovely little MX5 … I will miss it
take care and have a good onward life, 
. Bless you
From Ray and Sue

Just dropped my 2.5 off at Select Auto repairs in Skewen for repairs to wing and door caused by elderly neighbour a few weeks ago. Agreed a price for them to paint the bonnet too,so that will get rid of millions of little stone chips.
Spotted up there on a lift a silver 2.5 undergoing rear arch repairs.
Away on holidays for a couple of weeks,so hopefully my car will be looking a lot better when I get back

Tbh you did well to turn up today. It was quite sketchy to say the least 
Much better in the summer
You were lucky. I was surprised to see little or no frost first thing this morning.
I live on the Derby/Staffs border and it was -5C at 8am on Friday and our cars were iced up all day Saturday.
Temperatures here in Bournemouth have risen to a balmy 3C this afternoon so I thought I’d give The Precious (a 2005 1.8 NB) a little run out and remind the old girl she wasn’t forgotten.
It’s been down as low as -7C and the car has been covered in a rime of frost for the best part of a week, parked unused down the side of the house.
Though the battery was a bit sluggish she started up after just a couple of turns. Quite impressed with that as it still felt like Siberia out of the sun. I was half expecting to have to extract the battery and take it indoors for a charge. I warmed her up and then took a gentle cruise around unsalted streets for half an hour. Love that little car.

Mk2’s look really nice with a hardtop. Lovely colour too.

Thanks! I had actually been looking for a silver one. Missed out on a couple, then this one popped up locally on Gumtree as I was browsing. Low mileage, one local lady owner. I bought it within two hours. Couldn’t be happier with it. I like the colour too, it’s grown on me!
I’ve got a silver MK3 which is currently sat outside with its cover (frozen) on but I was really after a stormy blue one. Silver was not my first choice but it was in such good condition I couldn’t walk away from it having seen a few crusty rusty examples before hand. Yours looks mint

I do like an MX-5 in silver. But they’re all beautiful! Waited over 50 years for a roadster after lusting after MGBs and Spifires back in the 60s. The closest I got was a mk1 Cortina GT. My daughter christened mine “the Precious” (you have to say it in a Gollum voice) because she’s never seen me polish a car before. I’m besotted with it
