Spotted QLD - Post your sightings here!

[Uncle Arthur]

I was followed out of Griffith University Nathan campus today by an NA with MX 591? numberplates and a turbo badge on the back.

that'd be Uncle Arthur

Griffith is the MX5 hotspot now is it? My red NA is out there as well. Jerrah's has a black hardtop and mine is red. Also see a silver NA in the carpark every day. I think I may have seen you once heading in from the highway side?

Highly likely - the car is pretty easily recognised

The very rare 4WD version SE today - ASE05's car up on stands. Sure, I'm designed for an MX5 at 5ft 7, but the top of the mudguards are now at chest level!

Later today we drop the transmission out and examine the clutch, which is likely due for replacement.

Hot tip - If you're after a replacement clutch for an NB, Good-Win-Racing have an Exede stage 2 race clutch kit (includes the pilot & throw out bearings) for US$389 + shipping, which is a little less than the A$660+ for the Mazda OEM SE clutch replacement (which in turn is double the price for a standard clutch)

Saw a nice Red NA on Oxley Rd (inbound) today at around 6pm. License ***-LWL.

Had a weird black rectangle on the nose, which I mistook for a blank numberplate at first. Perhaps a mounting point for a car bra?

I thought he already had a million dollar "it'll never break" clutch in it already

Um - yeah... clutch didn't look all that special once it was taken out - not a known brand, except for the "Race Clutch" sticker, which is apparently the name of the business... so pretty dodgy all round I reckon.

Spotted this morning on Newnham Rd Wishart, one very frustrated Minx in traffic ............ Stewy looked like he was about to blow a valve after a woman in a 4WD nearly cleaned him up .....took me a while to get him to recognise me in the Isuzu, once he did, he demanded I run over the 4WD .....I politely declined, much as I'd like to run over the mongrels, it ain't worth the hassle

Not QLD I know - but I but travelled to NSW at the weekend, and saw a nice looking red NA north of Moonbi, heading up the ranges, then the same one again heading south on Sunday on the way out of Tamworth - but this time, well south of the ranges.

Was the only MX5 I spotted on the New England Highway between Brisbane and Tamworth - I'm guessing it was Tamworth's only MX5 - apparently the Mazda dealership there only ever sold one, in 1993 - and they've never heard of an SE, SP or seen an NB in the flesh, let alone an NC.

Their main trade is BT-50's I'd imagine. Saw plenty of those!

Oh - and NSW needs a new numberplate tagline: NSW - THE SPEED CAMERA STATE

Well there's a white NC there.

Ah - my bad. Thanks - I've learned something today! I can go home now

Nope, her hair is not as fluffy or bottle-bleached as his.
Oh, and she appeared to be a competent driver as well.

Resprayed metallic blue NA (a darker metallic than Danny's) on the Gateway southbound at about 4:15 - two blokes in Broncos jerseys enjoying the scenery. Nice looking ride too!

Also green NB, woman driver heading north on the Hornibrook Bridge about 5 mins earlier.

Have seen a red NA on the Gold Coast twice recently, it has a black patch on the high forward quarter of both doors, last seen parked opposite and up the road a bit from the Bullet workshop.

Also saw earlier this week, a silver bullet v8, oh boy almost creamed myself when it pulled up beside me(wasn't in my roadster at the time ) it was crossing Brisbane road headed into Harbour town

[Old Dude]

saw a dark blue NC hardtop MXV 99 on Helensvale road today, Also dark blue NB under M1 at movie world with a young lady driving and a small front spoiler.
