New mx-5 owner

Postby smy0003 » Tue Dec 31, 2013 5:36 pm

Hi guys, not sure if this is the right section of the forum but here it goes.
Just picked up my nb8b. New to mx-5's and manuals too, actually. It's in beautiful condition and has a luggage rack which I dig, a chrome style bar that I dig less, brushed aluminium gear knob and surround and hand brake too. Also has roadster door sills.

I'm a maths student at uni and I teach guitar as well. Looking forward to spending some time on here.

More pics to come.ImageImage

Congrats and welcome!

(Not a fan of luggage racks on MX-5s but each to their own, is that around the wrong way?)
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Okibi, yes it is. Previous owner actually used it as a luggage rack (I will not be) and was worried that his suitcase would hit him in the back of the head under hard braking. Makes sense really, so he turned it around.
Will get some interior pics this arvo because that's where the good stuff is.
Thanks for the welcomes guys :)
