Hey chris,
So that was your car parked on hindly st sat nite?
I really would'nt listen to many ''adelaide mx5 enthusiats''
limited ed black hardtop :lol:
I got my hardtop with my car from the guy called EMU :roll: (lying sack of sh*t!) who supposedly Founded the mx5 club in Sa!
He told me it was a kevlar one,but was really a super special ''$2.00 can of export\" edition!
the Mx5 scene in adelaide is a real let down
I find the forum is the best place for any info!
the hardtop looked fine on your car too 8)

don't be so tough on the Adelaide enthusiasts. most of them are oldies that didn't grow up with the global info of the internet..

we can be the young'ns that uphold the MX-5 reputation in adelaide of being the barber's car, mess with them & you'll get cut :lol:

G'day Duj

Yes that was me parked in Rundle St on Sat night. I went to the nova cinema (by myself :roll: ) to see Dave Chapelle's 'block party' . I loved his show on SBS and I don't necessarily mind black music. It was ok

You are right zoombie. No rear window demister. I find with the mx5 because the interior isn't like that of a commodore, foggy windows clear up in a few seconds. I do use rain X, its a fabulous product.

There are different kinds of oldies, most of 'em are a good bunch. There is a run on this Sunday 21 May if any of you are interested - visit mx5.com.au/sa and look at coming events.

someone ought to organise a seperate cruise activity that doesn't involve the whole MX-5 Club.

or maybe the Parkinsons Charity Cruise?

well XMEN is coming out on the 25th.... a friend of mine is organising a midnight session at picadilly cinema.

maybe we can do something with that???

need numbers and tickets by the 19th though.... so gotta get off our asses to organise something

how about this:

Simple Crusie Short Distance
Dinner at Aussie Pizza House. Lateish dinner. lets say 8pm shouldn't take any longer than 1.5 hours

leave aussie pizza house for a cruise around somewhere till about 11 when we look for parking around picadilly. 1.5 hours of wasting petrol. maybe too much.

grab a coffee, popcorn what ever and then the movie..

then piss off home..

hows that sounding?

Craig I remember seeing pickies of when Mazboy had his Ti grey and matching hardtop...it did look very nice. 8)

Just doing the math now, hoping to use some of my upcoming tax return to pay for it.
