Morlock, I think I spotted you a few weeks ago.

I forget the road, and the time, but it was over the South East side of Melbourne


Do you have a Silver NB8B?

the driver was a Mature man with a greyish beard.

My New Year resolution is to keep a small notebook in the car to log sightings....an adult version of spotto! Will help with long boring highway trips.
Then I travelled from Mirboo North to Ballarat yesterday with her indoors (Di) and may have seen the same grace green NB that Greg & Kerry saw, so here are sightings:
1st Jan 1820 hrs east bound on Monash black NC top up;
1st Jan 1915 hrs east bound on Western Highway, galaxy gray NC with camel brown suede soft top up;
1st Jan 2010 hrs Drummond Street South, Lake Wendouree, grace green NB top up prefix UYE;
2nd Jan 1345 hrs Webster Street, Lake Wendouree, white 89 NA top down prefix QNA nice brunette driver; and
2nd Jan 1725 hrs Pleasant street, Ballarat, red NA parked top up, personal plates LUCY _ _ .
Happy New Year toall thread watchers.

Have been in Ballarat since the weekend and despite several bike rides around Lake Wendouree and three long walks around the CBD hadn't seen a single MX5 for 2 days (despite passing a variety of interesting soft top sports cars). Perseverence was rewarded 40 minutes ago when we passed a Malibu NA top down with what appeared to be original "daisy" wheels in Sturt Street prefix WUN - - -.

Oh... LOL! What time and where were you? Do you work in the area? I vaguely remember seeing a grey NC but can't remember if it was even today... it has been a long day... Agreed though, beautiful day for it..!

You would not have seen me ,Ben , I was in the work truck. You were crossing over Boundary Rd into White st. I don't normally venture down that way, but yesterday was an exception. Cheers Johno :D

Saw a red SP in Lt Bourke St near Exhibition St last night. Had red number plate beginning with HO. Can't be too many of them around here. It also needed a wash!
