Where have you been in your MX-5 today?

Mine is a toy most of the time!, interspersed with a couple of trips a week to Aldi!! Hang on a minute… That’s fun too! :joy:

Been to Trac Mon in Anglesey and STILL HERE…against all odds the sun’s cracking the flags and we’re having a WHALE of a time.
Lunch prevails now…

Well yesterday… Thruxton skid pan. A lot of fun and opportunity to safely slide around.

Went to North Wales on Sunday to go motorbiking up a mountain with Mick Extance (would definitely recommend it!). The drive there and back - an hour and a half each way with the hood down, was also great.Wales This is close to where we went biking…

Just decided to find my nearest Esso station and fill up with some “Supreme 99+”… So the sun was out, top down, nice drive and a costlier refill! £1.499 a litre (whatever that means!) Why don’t they say just £1.50…! :thinking:
Not sure what the benefits will be… cleaner engine, better running, improved mpg?, but must be better than running regular 95, and my toy deserves the best :slight_smile:

Ha Ha! Not even that, I live 50 miles inland!

To saddleworth for socially-distanced outdoor family visiting, walked through Greenfield to Uppermill, saw a 30AE in what looked like a communal residential car park, and a dark green NA drove past in Uppermill.

Interesting-less fact - you are never more than 60mile from the coast in the UK

You’re right! 58.70 miles for me to Skipsea! :smiley::+1:

I keep wondering about doing this, is it worth it?? Not cos I have aspirations of drift racing :thinking: just in case a slippy r-about catches me out one day :+1:

Worth it? @RoadsterMike Depends what you want to get out of it.

For me it was a fun hour of sliding around in a safe environment, getting to know my new car. £40 well spent, in my book.

Yes, worth it.
SWMBO, in 2004 “graduated” from a front wheel drive 1.4i Renault 5 Campus to her alleged 146 BHP 2002 Sport with LSD. Not exactly a gradual leap. I took her down to a former multi acre factory area which was nothing more than an expanse of concrete in the snow which was around rim depth.
After around a half hour…it clicked and she was balancing the bally thing on throttle albeit slowly like a good 'un. Got a few donuts on full lock for giggles. That was after her eyes went back into their sockets. She’s never put a foot wrong in Scottish black ice or snow since…it was a daily until retiral. Still has it. No winter tyres either. She is a good driver anyhow…which helped. Skelps the Sport around quicker than I’d like though…

Not sure if that is correct, I’m near Burton on Trent and it’s approximately 90 miles in any direction from here to the sea.
