My New Car

[MicraFish]

Put a deposit down on this today:

1.8 iS uk Mk2 MX5.
Needs a bit of work doing to it externally-wise - new roof, some scuffs and marks, but it's sound as a pound mechanically and bargainous for a Mk2 in all honesty!

Collecting him next week, and my parents will be buying the Cabriolet, so I still get to see her I Won't be leaving the MSC either, I will still linger on here as a fully-paid up member considering the Cabriolet isn't so far away!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting him now, just not so much looking forward to the work and insuring him lol

wow thats awesome well done

so cool that the cab is not gone far too

 

[MicraFish]

Thankies!
Yeah am glad the Cabrio is going to the parents - they're giving me 2k for her, but that's only a loss of 300 in a year, so all in all not that bad! I've said I'll be on hand *should* we need parts for her!

Great solution

Mazda = top quality.

Double props !

 

[Mojo Micra]

fantastic handling on these although a half-decent set of coil-overs turns it into a scalectrix car!

i think you did very well, cars are normally worth a lot less than that per owner, they just drop like a stone. let me know if you need help with parts too... i suppose this means i cant have the door trim doesn't it :C

 

[MicraFish]

Thankies will let you know for sure
And sorry, no you can't have the door trim - it's going to be a daily driver for mum so I think she'll need that

Hey, nice motor Nicky

A friend did his roof and said it was very tricky and took 3- 4 hours :S you might need an extra pair of hands also lol

 

[jim_bling]

looks nice chuck glad you found one

 

[Shaun]

nice (Y) well done

 

[capnmchl]

Yay, you didn't get a honda!

Good choice! I want an MX-5 for open toped rear wheel drive fun

 

[MicraFish]

Thanks all!
Iggy I think I will get a specialist to do the roof apparently there's one place in Swansea who does it for under 400 quid!
Thanks for all the comments though guys! Glad it's not a Honda too lol
