Great day Danny & Staff!

So many people and so many MX5's - not sure I have seen that many NA's together for a long time! Well done all for bringing them along and I saw so many items being purchased today - rollbars & seats seemed to be the go plus rear garnishes etc

Well done also for the excedllent BBQ and drinks, very much appreciated!!

Yeah, that was a huge roll out. I didn't end up buying anything (mentally spent about $5k!), but a bit of a chat with Danny (thanks for the snags!) solidified in my mind what I want to do next (4.3 Torsen) and what it's going to cost (not an amount I want to spend right now).

Some really nice cars, too - including that lovely RX-7.

Only got there fairly late and didn't really talk to anyone as I've been really sick.

Plenty of time and advice given to me by Danny's staff though, despite having to repeat stuff to me as mentally I wasn't really there. So thanks very much for that.

Thanks also to everyone who left their door windows down or soft top window unzipped. :wink:

Majority vote seemed to point towards the single hoop roll bar despite me previously thinking I wanted/needed the Tall Boy.
So that's what I've laid my money down for

Now to find the Dodgy Day thread and enlist some help :twisted:

Traffic back past Chermside was a shocker but fortunately I didn't cop any verbal for 'braving' the rain with the roof down and no hope of hitting 60kph :oops:

Heh, I did exactly the same thing, checking out roll bar fitment and how the soft top slips in!

I was fortunate enough to encounter the rain on the freeway on the way home, so even though it was fairly heavy I had no rain in the cabin at 90 km/h. Must have looked funny to other cars!

I'm kicking myself now after forgetting to pull out my dslr and get some shots of the sweet line up mx5s' on display. Anyhow, walked away with some awesome goodies.
I mentioned magpies' name and got more info then i could hope to remember about itb tuning in general, also got to have a good look at their jenvey airbox design.
A big thanks guys.

I took a few phone pics.

It was a great morning. Thanks very much to Danny and the Automotive+ team. Jason have me a bit too think about with regards to my hunt for a better power band.

Many thanks to Danny and his Team for putting on an excellent morning...

The sausage sizzle was awesome.

As was catching up with old mates.

To see that many Na's in the one place in quite a few years. Looked great all lined up

And for confirming that a ND is not in my future ( Sadly not enough support in the seat backs to suit my body shape :shock:

)
Spending all that dosh on a new roadster and then having to modify seats would get me shot.
Boo hiss to all the lucky "B's" that can fit comfortably.

Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks Roger, Craig, Ian, 3gess, Lachlan and Terry for your support.

We are rapt with the attendance and by the number of customers that took advantage of the discounts on the day.

Cheers,
Danny

Thanks to the person who purchased the NA fibreglass fenders as it saved me explaining another purchase!

It was a good morning Danny congrats to you and your staff. Excellent turnout of MX5's doing the Brisbane scene proud. I had the pleasure of riding shotgun in the beautiful green 1200 wagon pictured above.
