MX5, I am hoping to get some work done on it when the weather gets better, this particular one is getting stripped back to stock and sold if it can get through an MOT, failing that I am breaking it. Far too much rust in the chassis. Love it as a car though, perfect summer toy.

I've owned two in the last eleven years and the current second one i've had for almost nine years and that is a garage queen, it has only seen rain 5 or 6 times in my ownership.
In fact it has only been out of the garage once in nearly seven months.

Yeah, I need a garage really. I'm considering going for a NA next and fixing it up real nice. The NB2 is my favourite model but the NAs are really beginning to appreciate and I think I'd actually make my money back on one if I where to fix it up.

Another little job done. Popped a sidelight bulb last week, so man maths dictated that I needed a new set of Osram Nightbreaker Lasers, and a fresh set of heat colour matching LED sidelight bulbs to go with them. Crap pictures during the day, but you can see the different in light temperature, and a fairly large difference in brightness.

Jimny getting abused.

Mum is doing some landscaping, went to pick up some supplies for her.
~200kg of bark
80kg of sand
~20kg of other junk
2 passengers (~70kg each?)

So yeah, ~450kg, rear suspension was clunking away all the way home, was also terrified to brake. :laugh:

In other news I fired up the MX5 today with a jump from the Jimny do some work on it and it set on fire, the alternator appears to be completely bollocksed.
