Saboteur I hope your car said hello to mine at MX5 Plus. My car is probably having separation anxiety as Charlie's MX5 is not there :)

Also spotted white NA in driveway of house before Bank Street in Newmarket.


You might want to recalibrate your MX5 identity radar there Kev. There was no blue SE, but there were 6 blue SPs; but I must say your spotting level is rapidly approaching master level!

This thread will give you the SE & SP colours and numbers according to Mazda Australia: http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=41366

Keep the spotting going, we all hope to be noticed at some stage, so one day, hopefully soon, you'll hit paydirt and one of us will be noticed by you!

Are you referring to the gathering?

I spotted the sky blue SE in Newmarket yesterday not in the club events. It has spot/fog lights and is definitely a NB8b with registration "TIG___". If it was an SP then I would definitely have heard the turbo spooling as it accelerated off the lights. I was driving beside it with the soft top down and could not hear anything to that effect. It is in exceptionally good condition.

Must be a custom paint job if it's an SE.

Kev, the 'SE' is also Turbo - you rode in mine around Lakeside on Monday!
I think you would recognize the sound after that! :D
