Can anyone recommend somewhere smart to take the missus for a meal on Valantine's Day?

Rota do that style but not that big.

Delicately put, mate!

1500 is pretty exclusive in MX5 terms. Not worth anything though...

Ah well, we all have different tastes! I usually hate the big Oscar winners - Lost in Translation was dull and American Beauty was an awful film.

On at 9pm tonight on C4. If you haven't seen it, its a great film.

brillo pad its actually very accurate (is it wrong i want to buy it off him to work on, so much potential) its a midnight blue, you can see it must be a very beautiful colour cleaned up. its an import does that help, would be interesting if it is rare, may buy it without telling him that and sell on haha Here you go mate http://www.mx5-mazda.co.uk/dakar.htm I am sure if you cross check the serial numbers specs etc you will know for sure? The Dakar was a UK special - his is an import. Could be a G-Limited but I'll let you have a scan through this as the JDM special editions go on and on and on and on.... http://ox.mx5oc.co.uk/guide_eunos.htm

well he has a bag of cat litter in his boot. "odd" i said, "i didnt realise you'd got a cat?" nope it was to soak up the water theres a bit of damage on the passenger wing which will need respray but other than that it just needs elbow grease like biscuit says he said he will get a rotary to do it as its so bad. ive never seen the colour on an mx5 before, you can see it has massive potential to look stunning Get him to sign up on mx5nutz if he hasn't already. Plenty of friendly advice on there and less stuffy than the OC.

Get them to put snow tyres on your CRV instead Good call! Its been amazing good so far on the regular tyres but winter tyres would make a big difference. I think I've driven the BM twice in 4 weeks. Oh and Stew, I've traded the Mk2.5 for a Mk3 now. Going to see how it gets on on the track.

Pee'd off today as I was supposed to be having my MX5 lowered but the white sh1te has put paid to that...

I've become quite an MX5 fan in the last 12 months. Love the old Mk1s but tinworm can be a problem. Any rust on this one?

I can see both sides here. If I had advertised an item and someone called dibs but I had to go and take photos, upload them, post them etc. and maybe he still wouldn't go ahead or someone just offered me money, I would be tempted to take the easy route. A requirement for pics would prevent this in future cases.

Welcome! Enjoying the heat down there?

I think they would undoubtedly make a difference - even the 4x4s have been struggling in this weather because of the poor performance of the summer tyres they're fitted with - and if you are adamant you don't want to run a sh1tter through the winter months I think it would be a sensible way to go. You'd need a tyre not just focussed on snow and one you knew would give a good performance in the cold wet conditions that we're more used to here. You can't cheat the laws of physics though and personally I run a cheap 4x4 and leave the RWD coupe alone in this weather.

Why would anyone do that to their car??????

Ordered something similar for dog walking but delivery's been delayed by the weather!

Usernames of traders on this site. PS Don't buy spacers from ebay unless they're a branded makes - Eibach, H & R etc.

Clear skies here but lots of ice!

That'll be Middlehursts in St Helens. Our Liverpool dealer hasn't even seen fit to get a 370Z demo car!

Just leaving work now and I don't fancy it at all. The snow is now freezing here. Wish me luck!

I've seen the prices go up and hold for a bit but the ones that got carried away seem to be sticking around. I'm still seeing the same cars advertised that were there in September. The only ones shifting are the cheaper end. To the OP I'd say not to get hung up on the sticker price, have cash ready and don't be afraid to go in low.
