Funnily enough I went to Classic Japan and spotted a fair few MX-5s.

Firstly I followed a white NA in off Heidelberg Road, but they parked in one of the first car parks on the right, so I assumed they weren't going for the show.
There was a NA with hard top in the car park closest to the oval where the show was.
Blue NA with rollbar and gold wheels was about to leave when I walked in.

Bet no one spotted me, I hid my car down past the golf club.

I would of expected that a few MX-5 owners would have showed up. Good turnout of cars. Did you see that Subaru SVX in the parking area? I've always wondered about those.

There's always a list of upcoming events towards the back of the "small paper" lift out motoring guide on Friday; towards the back of Just World Cars mag each month and sometimes in the Age supplement on Thursday.

Yeah I did see that, two blokes drove it in just before me. I get confused by the name (never know if it is SVX, Alcylone or Vortex), never-the-less it is a nice interpretation of 80s wedge styling. Flat six too!

Back on topic

Got a wave from a red NA6, roof down, going towards Yarra Glen from Eltham around 5:30/6pm on Sunday. Anyone on here? My car was filthy, partly due to some wet excursions on the road between Yarra Glen and Lillydale.

Spotted on Sunday/Monday

White NA with the top down, both seats occupied, driver wearing a cap and sunnies. Very very clean car! Driving on Nepean Highway in Chelsea area heading North.

Also spotted, at the intersection for Frankston-Dandenong Road and Skye Road in Frankston, a purple NB with the single hoop roll bar painted in the same color also. Looked damn nice! Also driving top down.

If this is anyone on here, I was the Twilight Blue NB8A with the top down.

Red NA top down on Strzelecki Highway travelling north between Driffield and Morwell at approx 1730 hrs this afternoon. Didn't get prefix but appeared stock in nice condition. Appeared to have a blonde female pilot, therefore (based on other recent threads) probably not anyone here.
