Lucky_Luke's: 2005 NC LE in Brilliant Black

Lucky_Luke · Postby **Lucky_Luke** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 9:21 pm

Hi guys,
I just got my new ride! Picked it up last friday night.
After toying with the idea of SE's and several test drives I decided to purchase this really clean 2005 NC LE in Brilliant Black with 39,000kms on the clock.
First impressions are I love the drive and feel behind the wheel and it handles a damn sight better than my already high expectations.

I still have my 1990 NA6, but decided after nearly 8 years of owning this it was time for a change...
And after begging with my better half for some time, I now own 2.

Love them bends!

Cheers,
L.

Going from a white car to a black car you'll certainly appreciate how easy it is to keep the white car clean.

You have a very understanding wife to let you have 2 MX5s ( she's "a keeper"

)

Hear hear... I can't even get my better half to agree with a 'little' upgrade

Thanks guys. She's definitely a keeper... but it wasn't smooth sailing to say the least ... you should see the contract she drafted for me! My workmates reckon I'd get less for murder! :lol:

I think i'll be stuck doing weeding and dishes etc for the rest of my life ... :shock:

I did toss and turn about black but have always wanted one... there will defiintely be a colour shock to the system in keeping it clean!

I'm itching to do some mods but I've been given the stern word that I have to sell all my NA bits and pieces first to fund it so keep an eye out for some goodies!

My List of Wants

(But more likely can't haves ... )

- Slimline Front Number Plate Bracket
- Eyelids
- Paint Brake Calipers Red
- I.L Clear indicators with chrome bezel

- Mid Pipe with Pre silencer (Depends on growl/volume of Muffler)
- RB Cold Air Intake
