Mx 5 Nutters

Postby johnbenk » Sun 01.10.2006, 22:11

Hi

Having recently sold a Lotus Elan M100 and bought the new Mazda Mx 5 Roadster with power folding hardtop :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D I have joined the Mx 5 Forum.

The guys on the Mx 5 forum spend thousands on their cars adding mods
I can not believe that a Mk1 Unos Roadster could have so much money spent on it from engine tuning fitting turbos bigger brakes nitro etc On Guy has spent £14,000 modifying his car. Unbelievable. I think you had better spend more money looking after your Elan M100. Best wishes
to you all .

If they had any power in the first place it wouldn't be necessary to add turbos, nitrous etc. :-D

why are we discussing these poor cars.....???
if we wanted one we'd buy one and join the mx5 site rather than going on about it on another car forum.....

John...

Dont upgrade the Insides........... please!

I have to admit its nice to see and own any brand new car so good for you, but if a hard top was No1 i would have gone for an SLK.

I do think your getting mixed up with the Forums though.

Cheers
