Yep, Bini Cooper I believe. offset is 35, mazda is usually 45 so not far off. I've taken them off to keep them nice for the Exo when it comes out of hibernation.

I always fancied a set of Lorbers when I owned mk1 MX5s, although never managed to source a set. To be fair, loads of wheels look good on mk1 MX5s - they seem to wear them well.

there's a new video on from MEV promoting the Exocet, which is all very interesting but I almost spat my coffee out when he was talking about "unfinished projects" and a pic of my build appeared ! seems like such a long time ago - its coming up for its first MOT in may, that's three years its been on the road  (except it's currently hibernating off road round at me mams house)

 I was round at me mams so thought id take the exo keys with me and see how it was getting on

flat tyre as predicted - not a problem, they're cheap Chinese ditchfinders that are coming off when it comes out of hibernation

checking the volts on a battery that has sat dormant since the end of november

hmm, that might just be enough ?

yep, fired up first turn of the key ! remarkable  

shame its not going anywhere for another couple of months  (I need my own garage to fix* the mx5 )
