I might have to have a c.f boot, bonnet and hardtop on the nb8b i just bought as well as maybe some doors for track days. Hopefully will look good against the silver paint.

You'll need a splitter too, wink wink nudge nudge.
This is my MX5. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My MX5, without me, is useless. Without my MX5, I am useless.

I know, my wife is not happy about it. We have 5 registered cars here. That's why the yellow car and the VE commodore has to go.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I have three cars atm, it's already enough.

Nice clean NB lightyear, going by the silver colour and the NB body, I hope I can purchase copies of anything you make for my car?!

It sure doesn't help with a newborn, i have not had time to do anything on the car in a while, still haven't moved all the stuff into the new place yet. My wife needs help at home due to cesaraen, 20 month old trashing the house if you turn your back. Good example - while i am typing this he is pouring water on the dog and wetting the floor and the dog. I am not in a big rush to finish it, i have the nb8b now. I sometimes think i went a bit far with this car, considering my limited budget. Should have gone with something more standard, but turboed. I have probably spent $20k plus. Could have bought an se, but this car will be a shyt load faster when it is done. I will get there, might take another year.
And with waking up all thru the night it is hard to get motivated to start work at 7.30pm after the older one has gone to bed. Anyone with kids will know, sleep is rare.

My wife and I agreed that "breast is best". And I quickly pointed out that as much as I would have loved to help...god just didn't give me the "equipment".

I've never had any sleep problems with my kids...
