Laughs in 'stock' MX5



No but seriously I came 2nd in the 2WD class. Got absolutely stomped by several WRX's for outright position.

But who was having more fun? I bet you were laughing maniacally the whole time!

Mouthful of mud with the roof and window down!

AWD in dirt can be imense fun.

the steering and reaction & theory gets thrown out the window. once you you understand the different steering principle. its so satisfying because they are so controllable.

Thtas not to say you cant have fun in a RWD.

Job well done

brake upgrades with braided lines, dba t3 and t2 rotors, and hawk hp pads. Friend was nice enough to lend me his flat driveway so I could raise the suspension a little in preperation of a Tassie roadtrip in January.

My New 2022 ND2,not a great shot but will do for the moment

Looks like a lovely car Peter! 2.0 ltr?

Yes Mark, no 1.5 available any more. 135 kw goes well. Will give you a drive soon!

Here's a couple of the most recent pictures of the ol' red thing, I took these photos the day before I sold back in Novemberish 2020 it & the new owner picked it up 3 days later. Kinda miss it a lil bit..... the New/older car keeps me busy on the tools atleast.

10 day road trip around tassie done and dusted. mix of camping and air b&bs. Crammed all of my supplies and spare parts into my car and was fully self suffecient. I did however have a couple of friends along for the ride in their own fun cars. Did a touch over 2000km and drove every road worth driving.

Beautiful, and that sounds like an excellent trip. I would love to drive the MX-5 around Tassie. It's just a long way to get to and from starting in Brisbane

I've always thought Tassie would be great in the MX. Jester... did you pre-book accommodation or take your chance day by day? I've found since Covid that if you don't book well in advance, you're really taking a chance of getting anything.

Found this in my driveway this afternoon, will have to move it to get the MX5 out of the garage...



Probably park it next to this thing down in the street.



So how many cars is it reasonable to own?

I'm calling *SNAP* or is it *BINGO* or ummm.... *UNO*?

Let's just call it a trifecta!
Petrol / Diesel / Electric
Manual / Auto / Errr.... nothing?
Fun / work / daily

I think I might need some professional help...

As long as you have an MX5 you are fine, that is all the therapy you need really!

Suset Central Victoria, I should have turned the lights off.
