UNSW?

I miss UNSW :oops:

Graduate of 2005 :lol:

Wish I was still in uni...it's only when you graduate and begin your working life do you realise uni was the best time ever. Well for me anyway.

I had some personalised plates in mind as well, but when I got around to it they're already taken

Hrmm... UNSW 2006 graduate here. Funny enough I still don't really miss uni life (although I miss the uni itself). But that's probably because I spent 5 years there doing a 3 year course... :oops:

Its the same for cars as well...you have an NA, you want an NB, you have an NB, you want an SE, you have an SE you want a Boxster, you have a Boxster, you want a ........... same can also be said for modifying; it hurts your wallet when you constantly are telling yourself...

PUR157,

I'm a data analyst. Well thats what it says on my job title.

I usually ride my motorbike to work but if it's raining I drive. There's a few MX5's in the car park now and there seems to be more every year. There was only mine and one other when I got my NA.

*Flame suit on*

I wouldn't want to get an NB too if I have the cash for it, not that there is anything wrong with the NB models
If I have to get a newer MX5 in the near future, it'll be an NC Roadster Coupe

NB looks ... well ... too organic and curvy for my tastes
NA looks every part the modern classic that is well proportioned and simple
NC looks sharp, drives like the more expensive Euro counterparts, modern and pleasant to look at

Just my 2 cents

Real name Doug - I chose my 'handle' given I was looking to rekindle my passion fo driving around in the rain with no roof over my head, but then realised I was no longer living in the UK and therefore getting wet is now a very limited option.

PUR157 · Postby **PUR157** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 4:43 pm

I drove around in the rain once... I didn't fancy it much

Then again... it was bucketing down... and I was more... \"caught out\" than doing anything by choice :roll:

Needless to say the Hardtop has been on since then
I'm such a wuss :lol:

Hi I'm new here and my forum name is very unoriginal, RichardD as in my first name is Richard and my last name starts with a D. I just got a red 02 NB 2 weeks ago and then found this forum. Its good to see so many other mx5 enthusiasts.
