A sorry sight. I saw a red NA6 :NA6: Eunos Roadster at Auto Salvage in Cambellfield. It had been written off for water damage. While I could not see any evidence of much water damage except for a musty smel there was certainly damage caused by a crazy previous owner who in a fit of colour blindness painted the dash and door tops red and door lowers and centre console white. The body was reasonably straight, the engine was a bit smoky but started OK. It had a very good hard roof on it. The soft top from what I could tell in its folded state seemed OK. The car had AC but no power steering. They want silly money for it and have it on Ebay for $4500. I was considering offering him $1000 but he probably would have turned his pressure hose on me. :D

It was a very sad sight :( like a beached dolphin that had been tortured.

Haha not quite mad, but it'll do me! :lol:

So you picked up another Na? I remember the first/only time I met you at garage, you were on the hunt for another one. Good stuff!

(Unless that was the other guy that was there...my memory stinks.)

Twas me indeed. It's a good little car, needs some love and attention, it's generally quite good though. You should pop into garage again soon :)

Spotted a Neo Green (British Racing Green) MX-5 with tan roof parked in High St, Preston near the Town Centre building yesterday 13 Jan around 1.30 p.m. My guess is it was an import because of its Tan roof.
