So, I turn my cars over pretty frequently. At any time I'll have a few cars in m possession, have maybe 4 or so at the moment.
But, I have only ever regretted selling 2 cars in my life; A mint 67 1300 delux VW beetle and my white NA8 clubman.
I've had a hankering to get back in an MX5 for ages now, but now I'm committed.
I'm still tossing up what to get, but probably leaning towards an SE at the moment.
Looking forward to catching up with some old mates and doing a couple of track days with the Vic club guys.

Hey daz,
Great to hear you're wanting to return from the dark side.
Those front diffs never really did much for the driving experience.
Look forward to catching up at a track day soon..

Welcome back! 

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

Welcome back Daz!
May be no need to get an SE - things seem to have changed since you spoke with a few engineers back in 2008 - got to be worth exploring: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=73599

Thanks for the welcome (back) guys!
God it was sooooo painful to try and engineer a car back then. SE might just be the path of least resistance ATM.

Re: I want back in..
Could always go forced induction ND. You would be more used to newer cars now.

Re: I want back in..
Be great to see you back mate. I know what ever you pick will end up being one of the cleanest Mx5's out there.

Re: I want back in..
I still have all your NA8 turbo intercooler piping that I bought from you (what seems like) a million years ago!
I never used it on my NA8. I jut bought a SE instead!
Good to hear you are thinking of coming back.
Just for sh!ts and giggles why don't you chase up Ryan's old white clubman (le Fridge) and boost that!
