Crikey! has it lived in the sea? 
No mate, everyone is the same, they have no anti-corrosion on them whatsoeverCrikey! has it lived in the sea?
Not good mate. Like the look of the new ones though. Rust aside all previous models aren't aggressive looking enough for me, so nope, not for me.
Did the Limbo Rit in one this year, 750 km in it, was glad to get out of the bloody thing, I was knackered....
Had one back in the day when newer never went wrong at all in 4 years only oil changes.
Not comfy then?
No, nothing like a Z, these things were built for just going down the locale shops.
Oh, you are a one.hmmmm.x@t-tony did when he was going through his 'not sure of my sexuality' phase.....

Mechanically they are bullet proof, shame the tin work lets them down. A really great, fun little car.
Tony.
Probably yes, for going down the locale shops as I said but not for doing 750 km + in one day......A really great, fun little car.
Couldn't comment as I've never done that Mike, but, I suspect you're right!
Tony.

The car was about 5 years old I think, my mate Rob could just about get his legs under the dash and his knees were hitting the steering wheel. When people say "you sit on a Z3, not in it" be thank full, in the MX5 you are sitting on the floor.
Bloody hell! That's pretty poor to put it mildly. Does the customer still want it sorting after seeing that??
Its his first rag top mate, just hung up hid helmet, he bought it for him and his wife to have some fun, he only got it a few weeks ago and paid top money for it, I have a mate that is selling one with 30k miles inc hard top for £1700.
We rang him today and told him we need to see him.
Oh no poor bloke. Well you'll have to break the news gently mate.
We're just hoping he doesn't bring his wife with him.
