Early mid-life crisis: the MX5 story. ***Minor job 16/8***

1.8 Twin Cam? From the land of the rising temp gauge sun? Inappropriate?

 

My money is on an MX5.

A bit cliche and generic, I know, but I've wanted one for donkeys.

 

Can't wait though.

Could be entertaining. Looking forward to the cleaning tales.

All MX5 are ace, no matter the generation of them. In 10-20 years time it will seem crazy how cheap we currently get them.

 

Probably will be the MGB of our time.

Which vintage? My Mk1 was probably the most fun I have ever had in a car.

That's pleasing news to hear.

 

It's taken me over ten years of driving, but I've finally got my POP UP HEADLAMPS.

 

Bitches love 'em.

1. Have kids.

2. Stare into abyss.

3. Panic.

4. Sprots car.

5. relief.

Gonna sprot so hard.

 

It made sense in a weird way, classic insurance was very reasonable, and the difference in MPG from Herman means the outlay is quite small really.

 

I'd been offered it by a friend at a very reasonable price.

 

The downside can be summed up in three words, which I'll elaborate on later.

 

Meanwhile, the trolley is here! Finally!

3 words unique to this car?

 

Smells of dog

 

Smells of wee

 

Smells of poo

 

Covered in jizz

 

Wait, wait, waaaaaait!

 

An MX-5 from Wales? It's not mikey_monkfish's one, is it? In that case, the three words would be: CUT IN HALF.

Not a big fan of the tea today, got myself a pastry though.

Only another 45 minutes on this particular train. Piss poor phone signal is doing my head in.

Is this being purchased off a mutually known man-giant? :-D

Mx5 being obtained on the day when the sun gives in to the rain , you get to test the leaky roof immediately, top timing !

My pop up headlighted one has never had a FTP , it's had a few IDWG , I don't wanna go moments but minor tweeking and persuasions and she has tootled along , mine is looking ropey and sounding rough sometimes but she won't die gracefully.

Is it that one I saw somewhere with a big FUCK VERY OFF spoiler nailed to the boot deck?

This train is absolutely crammed. It also transpired I was sat opposite my correct seat, so I (rightly so) ejected myself.

 

Even the ends of the train are jam packed.

 

But not the join. The join is empty. The join is my domain.

You look a bit like a homeless Borrower taking shelter from a cat inside an accordian.

In a true show of Britishness, in the final five minutes on the train, about half a dozen passengers (myself included) were discussing the correct jam/cream configuration on scones.

Got a lift back to Chats' place to admire the Saab 900 project, and sit down to a smashing full English.

 

However, it's now time to get back on the road.

 

Time for a new steed:

We've also gained another person in this escapade!
