MX5 Scammer

[Glenn]

They are good little cars, in 2005 I went to Le Mans in my mates Mk1, it was loaded with camping equipment and 2 weeks worth of clothes for each of us. Straight after the race we headed down to Gap to start a tour of Alpine passes starting along the Route du Napoleon, also 5 laps around the Nurburgring, 3000 miles later we returned home without the car missing a beat, it did need a new set of disc pads all round though.

Any car I can't fit in unless the roof is down is not good.

And my daughter is a hair dresser she can give you a few tips.

Fantastic cars the MX5. That's going to be what I buy when I no longer need to use a car for work. A Lotus Elan that doesn't fall to bits, what's not to like?

 

[Drago]

They don't fall to bits. They rust instead.

 

[Markymark]

Is the scam the fact it is listed as a car and not a rollerscate with a roof?

Buy an MGB, do it proper like.

He could do both. An MGB shell with Mazda mechanicals. Only 57 grand...

I wouldn't like it at £5.7 grand, a horrible cravat and driving gloves thing.

Sounds great, we have something similar planned, a Picos tour then skirt the Pyrenees to BCN. Mk1's are now rising in value, so many have been scrapped or modded that the stock originals are now at the price tipping point. MrsF has stopped banging on about me crashing the last one (after nearly 3 years), this is going to be a surprise for her. An unmolested silver one would be nice.
