Well, after 11 years, looks like it’s time for Minxy to go to a new home.
Not advertised yet, but will be, when I get around to it. Shes got 200,000Ks, just got new tyres and the Big service done at Plus. But I’ve upgraded the Daily, and running out of garage space.
As per the FB ad, Speed Racer Deck Lid is up for grabs, also have aSparco Sprint, on rails, if someone needs it.

New ride is bit more comfy for daily commutes on shitty Bris roads.
GLA250 4Matic.

Looks like another long term MX5 owner is moving on, I say there will be a few more soon as well.

You developed the car (and drove) really well, shame we never were able to get to the track on the same days as often as I would have liked.

Damn these small garages! Shame to see you go, the Benz won't be quite as fun, but it will be a much better daily!

Someone will be picking up a fantastic car in MINX, a well developed and well cared for car. I dare say it set the tone for many SEs to follow, including mine.

Cheers guys, shes not gone yet,needs a new battery for starters, and coming up for rego, so will bung 6 mths on. But passion for track days and club runs is gone. Still have just enough room for all.

Geeze mate, with those barges (and the one that floats), you are going to need an MX to keep you in touch with driving, as opposed to steering.

Just take it for a top-down drive, and ask yourself how you could ever part with it.

:mrgreen:

Gosh, 3 cars = 3 regos + 3 insurances.
I'm lucky as I've got 1 cheap car + 1 Club rego MX.

Haha
Yep, we refer to the MX as our Analogue car.
CX5 is hers, and for boat towing(2.5 na AWD)
The Merc is 2T, 155kw, Awd, 7 sp dual clutch, just returning from run up the coast, up and down the Mapleton Montville range, plenty of pwr and torque, the tranny is great, and economy of 6.4ltr/100 ( does 9s on work commute)

I need a fix of top down turbo loud exhaust analogue now

Pfft, that's quitter talk.

Try three cars, a bike, plus a fourth car to come soon and a race car with trailer.

The correct answer to the number of regos to pay is n+1, where n is the number that starts discussions.about divorce....
