MX5 quirks that still make you laugh

I'm in my 6th year of ownership of my nb8c, and the little quirks still make me laugh.
For example, I can fit 18 square metres of carpet in the boot.

I can fit 3 square metres of turf in the boot.

But something reasonable like a small microwave? Nope. That had to go in the front seat.

You can also get a lot of groceries in, not a full size trolley though just the half size.

Not laugh so much as shake my head. I always think it is bizarre that you can't fit a full-size spare in the boot.
It's not that much too small and I just think that with a bit more imagination it could have been done.
Different profile on the boot floor?
Then they could have offered a full-size spare rather than that crap we got.

The coolant path.
The conrods.
The 'oil catch can' on the SE.
The unadjustable steering column.

Is it just me? Owned a 02' for six months, still takes me 3 tries to insert the ignition key! Maybe I'm just used to having the ignition in the dashboard.

Just brought back 3 x 1m x 0.5m Vegepods from Bunnings in the back of the BRZ. With an RF arriving this week, and the only other car in the house being an Abarth 124, Bunnings are going to have to deliver from now on.
