Special Note:

Anyone who is going on the July 23rd run who would like a new set of MX5 car mats (...sorry, front only

) suitable for NA/NB models should advise me by Private Personal Message BEFORE 6pm Saturday 22/7/06. After that the car gets packed, and I get tucked up in bed.

These are free to MX5 Club members (courtesy of Mazda Australia) and the only down side is they have SE embroided in them. There are only a few sets left, so get in quick.

If you want a set, but can't make it on the day, I will give consideration to reserving a set for pick-up later.

Regards,

You can right click and \"save picture as\" to view it enlarged. It'll still be a bit fuzzy.........probably a good thing when you read the prices :shock:

. The 15% surcharge is not applicable Sunday - only designated public holidays.

I have the original PDF but don't know how to host it other than as a piccy.

I've booked myself in. Will meet up with you all 8:20am at Wembley Rd. Don't forget to bring your weapons for the clash - set of slicks and CB radios.

VAK !!

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate... you know how you lent your mate your car on the way home last week ?

Don't suppose I could take the missus for a SHORT spin around lunchtime to convince her an NC is the way of the future ?? I'll gladly let you take the Clubman for a thrash - just so you know what a REAL MX-5 feels like!

(I am as always a most generous person !!!) :lol:

Cheers

Wayne

p.s. Mr Starlet bought a car and joined the club yet ?

[quote}Mr Starlet bought a car and joined the club yet [/quote]
Mate, you wouldn't believe... (I still don't believe it)
The Saturday after last Friday's run, at 10:30 am, he called me on the phone. His first words were \"You bitch, you bitch...\".

I was like \"What, what's wrong\".. His reply, \"i just bought an MR2\"

..
..
I guess he went from Mr Starlet to Mr-Two - that being an MR2.
It's a 1987 model, it's not supercharged. Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive. Got it for a cheap buy too! I'm soo happy for him. Pity though because he still won't be able to come to the official MX5 meets.. ;)

as for driving the NC, it's not my decision as my girlfriend owns this car too.. I don't think she'll appreciate it because she doesn't know you.. I know i trust you... and Mr Starlet is a close friend of mine which is why i didn't mind him driving it.

Sorry buddy. I know a car yard in ipswich who will allow you to take an NC hoome for the weekend. Maybe it's worth grabbing theirs and taking it for a spin..

you'll have to kiss some SERIOUS arse wayno, who knows????............i'd take the clubbie for a thrash............ :wink:

.............again, not MY decision alone :mrgreen:

It wasnt a serious request, I just thought we'd stumbled across someone who would hand the keys over willy nilly :lol:

And as they say - If you don't ask - you never know !

AJ. I actually test drove a Black LE at Gold Coast Mazda the week they were released to the public. I hope thats NOT the one you bought ? :shock:

You can take the Clubman for a thrashing without offering your car. The new owner has the right to test drive ! LOL
