....I've never seen an mx5 with steel wheels before..

They did exist - when the Mk.1 was split into 1.6 and 1.8 versions, the 1.6 was detuned to 90hp and was given steel wheels - it was meant to be an entry-level model, and there were quite a few running around my area. Insurance was a bit cheaper. If anything, the steel wheels made the car more in keeping with the whole 1960s basic sportscar feel.

I don't doubt that. I've just never seen them.  Must be rare.

They will be now. Everyone seems to want more power and alloys of every description, so a basic 90hp 1.6 probably won't cut it for most MX5 Mk.1 owners.

Well I'm currently running what is called a labmix, for a Pehd green job.
Then I'm going on the Coperion which is running a PP unfilled grey. I'm the "super user" for that machine on my shift.

Exciting times

Don't worry, some of the cunts have worked here years and they still haven't got a clue.

Today I'm cheered by being older. Happy birthday to me. I have received goodies, including a Karcher K2 premium 'full control' pressure washer. With the car kit and home kit. Which is nice.

Happy 60th.

When you work opposite an overgrown 30ft hedge for 20 years without knowing what's behind it.

I bet it was spectacular 100 years ago , I assume its getting a housing estate now though 

Is that what you can a hedge find?

Puzzled me too - is there a roadworks hole behind it or does it reverse into an oncoming car?

[mitsisigma01]

We'll never know

That's awesome.Looks like the Shado 2 mobile from UFO but on wheels.I wonder if it has a bfo rocket launcher hidden in the roof.

Maybe long gone
This was spotted in England in 1998. We could only find one reference to it and that was that it was torched by vandals sometime after 2000

Would be any use to me if it was , I couldn't afford the upkeep of the garden let alone the house.

make do with the focus for now !!

Found him! Had landed in someone's back garden and got found by their dog but not touched! They, via their daughter in Surrey Cross posted on Facebook all afternoon with me and eventually my next door neighbor connected the dots and he was up by the school! 

Had a second cry today, but a happier one this time
