Mx-5 Fails, and other things.

Postby Zabinskii » Fri Dec 20, 2013 6:26 pm

Okay, well seeing as i spent my whole day looking at various build threads and places to buy stuff for an mx-5 i came across a few mistakes that people have made, not only building the cars but also telling people what they are and all this other stuff, so i thought, why not make a post where you can post fails and other things that make you laugh or feel sorry for the person, either way.

so yeah, i came across this :NA6: http://www.rarerims.co.uk/gallery_more.asp?id=249

RareRims.co with a picture of still in production rotas? Or are you upset with the style or someone else's car?

I was at least hoping it would be this image...

When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?

He's a slow learner - didn't he see what happened to the white car :shock:

Sure looked like a deliberate hit to me, he looked across before he moved ... probably been offered a V8SC drive for 2014 :lol:

The crash video has come up in a couple of threads on here. The white car actually had a puncture, according to the video description, but there is no excuse for the main incident.
