My era of MX5 ownership! Twilight Blue NB8A
Posted: Sun Mar 08, 2009 10:15 pm
well, I finally own one, after many years of want, and many years of scrimping and saving, I now have a lovely Twilight Blue NB8A in my driveway.
I happened across the advertisement on Carpoint.com.au the other day, and the car seemed to meet all my criteria, and be in my current price range. After a few phone calls, I had arranged a meeting with the seller.
The seller lived not too far out of a little town called Milawa, near Wangaratta.
after inspecting the car and taking it for a quick drive we discussed business and agreed upon a price. The condition was that I could take the car that day, provided I filled in the paperwork and I got all the RWC work (just needs a windscreen) and the RWC done.
After the handshake and the handing over of some money, I was off.
and I can tell you one thing, I could not have picked a better area to buy an MX5 from! Bang in the middle of wine country, I had decided to bring the family to make a day out of the trip.
I took the keys at about 12:20pm, and spent the rest of the day, top down, cruising through wine country stopping at the wineries along the way.
THIS IS LIVING, AND WHAT A WAY TO BEGIN MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS LOVELY CAR!
I shall get pics once the paperwork and mechanical work is done, until then I dont want to drive it, as it's not yet in my name.
IT'S HERE! I FINALLY GOT IT! YEARS OF DREAMS ARE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY!!!!!
