Belongs to Keith, the brother of Richard at MX5 Plus. He has been running our very successful track days this year, very quick car!

Well, from home up through Esk, Goomeri, Nanango, Ban Ban Springs, to Gin Gin & Gladstone Saw no MX5s at all. Two days in Gladstone & again no MX5s. On the way home though saw a silver SE in Miriam Vale, & a black NB on the Isis Highway near Ban Ban Springs. Great trip in the NA.

Spotted light blue/silver NC, top down driving blissfully along Roma Street at 7.40am this morning. I believe the registration plate ends with ***RLV.

Today - Appleby Road/Maundrell Terrace onto M1 northbound to Anzac Avenue - white NA Eunos Roadster 878-IMW, top down, body kit nice wheels and great camber! I had top up 'cause I was freezing after being almost blown away in the wind at QR watching practice for this weekends race meet

Also spotted heaps of MX5's in the pits at QR!!

Hey that was me mate, It was a good little cruise onto the Bruce there, everytime I buy tyre's they want to take camber off cos it will wear them out to quickly!! handles pretty well and I reckon the camber looks pretty cool. That's a pretty tidy little NA you have there did you happen to buy it down the Gold Coast??

I've had it 18 months now, bought it from 'Gussy' but it was down the Gold Coast maybe 3 years ago or so, rego was 89MXV or MXV89, one or the other, I guess you spotted the 'Mazdaspeed' badge on the rear! Today would have been its longest trip in 12 months since I had the engine refreshed, it was cruising nicely! Not bad when fuel gauge is one half and you have done 300km+

Yours looked great coming up behind me, didn't recognise the rego as one I knew, and loved the attiutude of the camber as we cruised up over the Pine River Bridge. Didn't know how far you were going but was ready to pull into the BP Burpengary if you'd gone that far!

Great to catch up thru open windows!! It was damn freezing and blowing a gale when I left QR, so hence the roof stayed up!

Spotted several MX5 at Fulcrum suspension today. The NC outnumbered both the NA & NBs.

Most of them looks good and fast even when stationary. :mrgreen:
