Red na following me down bluff road today at around 5:20pm car sounded great and was super shiny!


That was me, yours is very low I don't know how you cope, I lowered mine before Christmas and the wheels rub and pull at the guards, need to get them rolled I think...

Don't know how you thought it was shiny, bad oxidisation on bonnet and the rear has always been bad, need to get the buffer out again.

Cheers
Adam

Spotted a mariner blue na (MX1991) on Whitehorse Road today, heading west in Mitcham. The weather was far too good to have the roof up!

Silver NC, top down, leaving bayside beach next to Mordialloc. Headed off Beach Rd a couple of suburbs north. Must have seen 100+ cyclists too.

Soon after, a silver Mustang done up as an 'Elanor' replica, complete with custom Elanor plate and big V8 soundtrack, came out of another beachside carpark.

Black Aston Martin drop top too.

Where did all the mx5s go?

Finally spotted a BRG NA hardtop on Brunswick St, Fitzroy, while eating dinner.
Lots of old school Chrysler Valiants around, suiting the vintage chic of the street and all the Greek eats! Looking forward to returning!

Spotted an evo gold NB here in the hotel on Queens Rd, Albert Park tonight.

Ah, you're in my weekday area (I work across the road from Albert Park)

I can very much recommend Acland Cellars for some nice beers to take home (top end of Acland, where it joins Barkley Street)

Lots of Mx5 spotting between Bayside/Beach Rd, Frankston and Rye yesterday.

Highlights included a BRG NC for sale on Beach Rd Near a train stop before Frankston, a black NC PENT, white NA Barry with Miata plate, plus a few other NCs.

Best of all was seeing Alex and Ben and the polished Maki in its as-new glory!

At our hotel (Hilton South Wharf) just after I parked the car. Sorry, no MX5s so this will just have to substitute.

Not bad if you don't have your MX5 at hand. I wonder if it wasn't a guest, but someone being collected from the AA convention, next door?

British Racing Green NB south bound on Strzelecki Highway at Driffield at 1610 hours Sunday afternoon. Top down with female driver under broad brimmed hat. Looked as if it may have been lowered a smidge?

Blue NA6 with rollbar turning out of Mitcham Rd into Whitehorse this morning about 9:30. I would've had my roof down too, it was such a perfect morning, but I decided to chuck the hardtop on last night after I finished fixing the winder.

I saw you at the lights. I tried to wave, but turning required more than one hand :P
