Selene - Nev's NB SE
Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 9:50 am
Hi all, I just picked up my Titanium NB SE yesterday and would like to start off by saying that this is all the fault of those three reprobates from Brisbane, Crapweasel, Minx & Lokiel. Looking at their three beautiful examples made me seriously fall in love with this car.....
So as a result they are now officially responsible for any issues, hardships, frustrations, headaches or other non-specific malaises that I may subsequently encounter over the coming months and years and will be hearing from my legal representatives for suitable compensationary measures. Okibi is also attached as a subsidiary defendant for facilitating this situation by the medium of this outstanding forum.
Sheesh, to think two weeks ago I was seriously lusting after a Subaru BRZ but now find a stunning MX5 sitting in the garage (which wasn't even on the radar at the time!).
There will also be a subsidiary medical claim for strained facial muscles as I had a foolish grin the whole way back to my place, an hour and a half drive, on Sydney roads, in Sydney traffic. Hmmm, if this is typical I may end up being hospitalised after a decent drive on twisty country roads.....
Ok, now the legal matters are dealt with, on with the car!
It's a Feb build 2004 Titanium Grey NB SE, but you probably guessed that already.
It's completely stock with a bee's willy over 100K on the clock and overall quite good condition. Here's a few shots I took after getting home and giving her a light bath and clean.
Now this will be purely a toy as I've got a 2002 Mazda Astina for my daily driver.
I really hope the two of them get along but judging from their first meeting I think there may end up being some serious sibling rivalry.....
Oh well, time will tell.....
Anyway, after giving her a bath, I spent some time really looking around for issues in the overall condition and am still pleasantly surprised by just how good it is for a 10 year old car with 100K on the clock. It's far from perfect, but that's to be expected, esspecially for the excellent price I was able to get her for!
(a distressed seller, well actually not initially, but she was somewhat by the time I had finished my negotiations.....)
Some of the interior leather is a bit tired, and there's the anticipated collection of stone chips and light scratches.
Fortunately all the panels are straight and ding free with the only real body damage on the front and back bumpers, here's some pics.
