So… After having high rolled it in a 350bhp powerhouse I decided it was time for a change. Previous car…
I loved the power, looks and performance of the GTO but the car was at the stage where there was not a lot more I could do with it without spending big moneys for little gains. In short, I wanted a new project car. I had my heart set on a certain limited edition 90’s sport saloon (still on the list, ;-) ) as a daily driver, but then a mate at work showed me what he had got up to the past week. He had bought a mk2 mx5 (nb) for £1300, silver on black with a black hood. I had never previously considered an mx5 as I am male, but after hearing how he wrapped it into a wall a few times 6 days after buying it I thought this sounded like a laugh. I promptly began to research stanced mx5’s and it turns out, if certain conditions are met, mx5’s can be driven by real men. Who knew? A deal was made on the GTO, an mk1 mx5 (coz pop up lights are cooler than a penguins pecker) was bought and some money put aside for the daily driver mentioned above. Here is the mx5 as I bought it…
Plan is to sort out the looks first so that I won’t attract homosexuals on the way to my roller-skating class, and take it drifting and hill climbing as and when funds allow.
