Title: Saw a pink MX5 today
Post by: Martin_1962 on 13 July 2009, 23:31:41
Overtook a pink MX5 on the way home from work today. It was in FAB1 pink :o (Then an Alfa then a wrinklie)

Noone else thought to overtake Mr Slow - not even the Alfa behind him.

The car in front of me took another road to cut off the corner and beat the lot of us!

Pete - do you have any pics of your MX-5? - my wife had a 1997 1.8i - red with 2 white viper stripes over it - sold it last year, she still misses it  :y
