There was a guy on Hard Quiz whose topic was MX5s-was it Miles from this forum? What a nerd!

Ha! Yes Bruce, my Son tipped me off to watch it. He was a bit of a character wasn't he. Love the Kilt!
Missus asked if he was on the Forum.
He had owned 4 MX5s - all NAs. I wondered if any others on here saw it.

Yeah my Sister sms'd me and let me know and I watched it on Catch up...I got more answers right but definately have not got his courage to wear a Kilt ... btw when he left he didn't answer what was under the Kilt ...

The answer I didn't know was the denim interior...damn that was ugly !!

That's a great plug for Mazda and the NC but many would not take it too seriously - what: a humble affordable Japanese sports car that nearly all of us can afford to own and maintain? I agree with the guy about the SUVs but those vehicles are more for function rather than driving pleasure .

Was that the Martini one? I have seen photos of that car, but then I guess they would be decals and there might be a few around.

I never met a horsepower I didn't like (thanks bwob)

It would be quite stressful to appear on TV, especially a show like Hard Quiz. Stage fright is a real thing so I think he did alright.

Have a look at the woman whose special subject was "The Jack Russell terrier".
The guy who won answered most of her questions.
(admittedly he was lightning on the buzzer.)

After reading this I watched ABC iView hard quiz. His description of his 4th real car is classic tv.

Yep, that was Miles.

I've met him at a couple of times at club events. Didn't know that he had damaged the 'Martini' MX-5 until I saw the Hard Quiz episode.
