Been looking at NC's on carsales wouldnt mind a roadster with the retractable roof but might be a bit pricey. Seems like a 06 or 07 model with soft top about 60k on the clock is the best I will be able to do. Cant go SE for her.

But she did say she liked mine so a low k NB could be on the cards

My girlfriend wants an MX-5 as well.
Unfortunately her old man is very protective of her and wants her to get something with a higher airbag:fun ratio.
Might look at a Mazda 3 SP25 instead.
2.5L engine in a mazda 3 looks fun :)

There was a GREAT SE for that price with cash left over.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

You can't have two mx5. You will then need a 3rd vehicle, what do you do when you have that 70inch tv you wanna bring home?

Rope + Roll bar = who needs a ute?

Edit: Rope for the GF. TV goes in the seat obviously. ;)
