Mx5s everywhere in the carpark, kept a bit of an eye out for you but to be honest, don't really remember what you look like. :oops:

No probs Steve - it seemed like there were people everywhere. Not sure if it was a case of there was a smaller overall area available, given in front of the grandstand & down the hill wasn't used, or it was actually busier than usual.

I thought the crowd was a little bigger, was a bit dissapointed that there seemed to be alot more american cars there and fewer english/euro cars, not that I mind the yank stuff, it's
just it can be seen anywhere.
Did you see my car? it was parked just to the left of the exit gate, it now has a black hardtop, racetech mirrors and different plates, Oh and it's a bit filthy.

No, didn't see the Clubman, although got there about 11am & left at about 4pm, so may be you arrived & departed between these times. Also, as I departed I looked to the right to check out the parked dark coloured NC, which might have distracted me from the Clubman if it was still parked to the left.

I hate having the top down in summer.

Mine generally only comes off at night, or when it's not too sunny.
Stuff getting baked in the sun, skin cancer et al.

Yea ok, turn your aircon and have the roof down and slip slap slop.

Yeah, 12.30 till 2.30ish, 1.5 hr trip back home from there.

An MX5 is more than just a convertable, I,ve never dríven mine with the roof down and got a hard top as soon as one became
available. I wish Mazda had made a serious production hardtop, I would have got one of those instead. More to the point
why would you have an MX5 if you didn't drive it around corners so fast that your spine hurts.

Oh yeah, saw a nice NA leaving the car show at Mornington, white, black roof & wheels, dude with wild hair driving.

They did.

Based on the NB, a coupe was made, JDM.
