gm's unhealthy obsession with mx5s - squeezing in a few last drives before Exo goes into hibernation

[hairnet]

the grey like the 5 would work

bright colour would be good - black wheels - too much

silver wheels no point cos theres no other brightwork

 

[Andyrew]

This metallic burnt orange on the wheels could look nice. 

 

For cheap and chearfull.

The above dark grey is simoniz steel wheel silver and about 2/3rds of 1 can did all four wheels from the gloss black they was before,  below is without the matt clear laquer.

I say, chaps, what is more fun than wiring ? 

Surely, the answer is nothing - nothing could be more fun than wiring ? 

Well, you would be wrong, so very wrong - the one thing that is more fun than wiring is....wiring with a stonking big hangover ! 

This little sod has taken two hours 

and oh so much swearing  

and the only reason any of this was necessary is because I cut the dashboard loom too short - d'oh !

Hope it bloody works  

[gm]

Big sigh of relief  

that looks pretty bloody smart, I reckon!

Time for a quick break from mx5s to collect my new daily  

essentials assembled

Might not take the radio although they do have power sockets on these fancy new trains  

[gm]

‘Tis a lovely day for a walk to the station

now, which way today ? 
north ?

or south ? 

[gm]

I shall hang around on platform one

 

[gm]

Just in time - here’s my train now

Just in time, here’s  my train now

 

[gm]

Plenty of seats to choose from

[DVee8]

A midweek lunch time collection. Don't you know the pubs are open now..

[gm]

Oh, I know all about that thanks ! Mental day at work yesterday - need a day off to recover  

[gm]

Darlington achieved - nice old station 

engineering train

and suitably smelly snacks for a train journey

[gm]

York, and some trains 

 

[gm]

Leeds achieved, and time to change train

Fractal mural

the fancy electric train I just got off appears to be some sort of hybrid - pantograph is down

[gm]

[hairnet]

Omg

Al the train .pervs will be along soon To tell you all about what you been in

Durham not have any nice shittas like?

[gm]

I was met at the station by a nice chap called Mike, drove to his house where tea was consumed and cars were discussed, some money changed hands and I made my way to the nearest petrol station  

So, mr gm, what have you chosen to run as a daily being as your mx5 isn’t very practical or comfy ? 
 

Well, this may not come as much of a surprise to some of you.........

Smashing!

Nice CR-V

[Shirley Knott]

Amazing!

Basically, from what I've gathered you now own three cars, all of which are either MX5's or derived from MX5's?

Back in the MX5Nutz days you'd have broken the internet with stats like that.

[Jim Bell]

CRV Coupe!

[loserone]

Yes, but does it have a towbar?

Very good history on this one 

drove more miles today than it did last year !

previous owner had it for ten years, barely used it, hadn’t seen rain in three years apparently so I felt guilty bringing it home today on the salty motorways  gave it a good wash and it came up nice and shiny again. The mk1 looks a bit of a scruff next to it now
