Well, bought tickets for me and the wife to attend the show on Sunday 13th November. I've been several times but Debbie's not been to this show before. As members, hopefully we'll be able to blag coffee and cake at the MX5 Owners Club stand😀 I wish I still had my Jag XKR, but a tosser with a tractor and trailer wrote it off in January😢 How many other petrol heads are there on here?

Good effort....🙂 Wish I could have more than one toy car, but no where to keep it. The marina limit is two cars per boat and we have an E class Merc estate as the sensible car. |

What is your MX5? I have a mk2.5 VT sport with bigger brakes, lsd and 6 speed box. It's more fun to drive than the jag but the jag was just a nicer car to own, and the Mazda lump doesn't really compare to a supercharged V8! |

Mine's a mk2.5 too but pretty standard, stupid fun to drive though, worth all the piss taking I get. |

My fun car to drive is the marlin but the vette is very fast and handles well, before that I had a 2006 shelby mustang convertible which was a nicer car than the vette or my XK before it. The problem with XKs is the lack of a LSD and the crap traction control. I have fitted quafe diffs to a number of XKs to improve them I have to say that MX 5 give you great smiles per mile

It was my treat to myself with a large part of the compo I got for nearly being wiped out in a accident at work. Ah well, easy come, easy go. |

I couldn't afford one of the alloy bodied ones although that would've been nice. Mine had not long been re-sprayed when farmer boy wiped it out...😢 |
