Gosh, darn... I almost forgot about this spotting: Driving up the M1 last Thursday morning around 05:45 when I saw a yellow MX5 - probably a Malibu. It looked a bit rough and was going slower than the other traffic. It looked very similar to Jules' car as it had a funny looking number plate but I didn't quite catch what it said as the vehicle was going so slow and I was fascinated to see what sort of person would drive a car like that on such a nice day with the roof up. I don't suppose it's anyone on here, is it?

P.S. I think the numberplate started with a "Y" and ended with a "1" - but I can't say for sure and it had daisies or some other pretty flowers on it.

That's a bloody good looking car :P

...sounds like the funny looking one I saw the other week. Did it have a thin plume of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust?

Don't remember smoke out of the exhaust, but the exhaust tip at least looked aftermarket. It was noticeably lowered, had a chrome style bar and black soft top up. It was very clean.

Forgot to post this up last night!!!

Spotted a red NA on the corner of Charlotte and Albert streets last night in the CBD. Rego was a custom plate, red with white letters - something like MXV46 (couldn't quite see it)

I was standing out the front of work having a smoke, managed to get eye contact with the driver while he waited for the lights. I nodded at him and he looked at me strange....I guess one can't interact with fellow mx5 drivers while on foot? hahahaha

If the driver is on here - looking mint!!!
