Any Old Bastard QLD'rs still around ? - I'm coming back!

Postby 99MXV » Sat Sep 05, 2015 6:10 pm

Hola Amigos.
Since selling the "fridge", owing those stupid 7 day a week phone shops... I have pined for an MX5 again.
Circumstances now suggest that another MX5 is now on the close horizon. It's been way too long.
A couple of our sons mates have now bought older 5's and are all doing "what we used to do" a few years back - Garage days (not quite as dodgy, but still fun), night drives and randomly organised "spirited runs" up the hills. They have even taking to parking their "5's" in my driveway just to really annoy me !
It's great to see another generation of bug bitten drivers.

Are there any of the old crowd around anymore ? Anyone still got 5's ? I see JBT is still around in his NC1 ? (I am looking at that model right now)
Would be good to catch up around the traps, eat some wingzzz and maybe go on some drives.

Speak up if you are old enough to remember.

Cheers

Wayne

I've been round long enough to see a certain dodgy ex-fridge owner stuck on a roof when the ladder got taken away.... :lol:

The Naka buddies are the cool cats these days.....

And Wayne it's great to see you start to embrace your 50's with a NC :oops:

Yep i still have ( 2 ) NC2 as the daily and the old faded blue SP which hardly gets used at the moment due to a lack of play time.

Happy hunting for the new toy :MOCHA_LES:

Hi Wayne. Once a MX-5 nut - always an MX-5 nut.
Don't take any notice of Bruce, I visited him once in N.Q. when he was in retail. I had to wake him up to say Hi.

YAY !!!
I know all of you !
Bruce.. It took me 6 years, but I sold both shops mate ! (THANK GOD)

Tezza.. I looked and looked and looked... but couldnt see the "UNICORN" for sale.

I am contemplating my own "sort of" Unicorn NC (Bright yellow)

Looking forward to getting back into the fold sooner rather than later

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

OI... I'm not THAT old..
Mind you I am on the lookout for a nice cardigan and some driving gloves.

I'm pre-approved for finance. Now to find the car :)
