Welcome Regie!
I see you were already a part of the obsession before the MX5!
I hate to be the bringer of good news, but; you have a Sunlight Silver
NB8B, not NB8A.

Welcome Adam. Nice toys you have there.
I see you have the inspiration (Elan), and the creation (MX-5). Spiritually, these two are related.
Do you bring friends around to play with them?
If you have not joined the MX5 Club yet, I hope you do and see you in one of our club runs.

well the basic improvements have started. I now have a set of 4300k HIDs in there along with white led parkers and number plate lights. i also picked up a set of clear side indicators and clear side reflectors from MXmania. Now im just waiting for the interior footwell lights to come back into stock there

Regie the size difference is striking. The cars of yesteryear are smaller than today.
PS how did T/bird 2 manage - \"And i do believe i spotted you going the other way in my NC\".
