I used G Technique Tri-Clean. Gave a ovely Matt finish then there leather Guard. Used on Black and on cream leather where it took out a blue-jean stain. Years ago I just used to use the Autoglym stuff without any cleaning on many cars. Never realised leather was supposed to be Matt. Thought...

Spotted on Thurs at 15:00. Followed my Megane for a bit.

Interestingly with Ohlin's I think BBR fit a custom spring and quote a 35mm drop. Whereas other suppliers quote a range with upper end of that 5-10mm drop. So pretty much zero. So get the benefit of improved damping/roll without the drop. Everything else seems to give you drop. My Megane Cup-S...

I have this thing of buying cars for my wifes daily that I want to own. The MX5 is her daily. Although garaged most of the time & does 4-5k a year. As such she is not big at revving cars. Her Fabia VRS from near 20 years ago was probably best fit. But she likes the look bit so have managed to...

Interestingly my Neighbour s ( in there late 60's) just scrapped a yellow W Reg Compact they had since new. My other Neighbour in there 80's has a E30 316 Auto in a brown/bronze that they have had since new. And I complete your car ownership trilogy with my MX5.

Really enjoyed reading through this thread. Got the wife a mint/low miles 25th Anniversary last year. With a view to doing some BBR bits. Probably start with the 180 kit (Manifold & Remap) for a bit more torque and noise. See how it goes as manifold is first step on road to there new...

Will they stay clean? Pre OPF car?

No sure posted before but you see the acceleration times on new M240i with same B58, More Weight but a smart X Drive. Getting 3.6 sec 0-60 and 9 Sec 0-100. That is proper super car pace from a few years ago on std power when you can hook it up.

I have noticed recently when I put my foot down I get a stutter at 4-5k revs. It seems to be more under hard throttle with sport button pushed. Although have only experienced 2-3 times. Now the car is a Megane 275. 6 years old. 22k miles. Just had service about 2 months/3k ago with Cambelt...

Thanks. Thought there would be more opinions as people are using Clios as second cars doing less miles. Unless they all been used on track for a couple of track days to kill them. I think I will change. Any thoughts on whether worth selling the old ones?

LOL when he actually replied to this post. Only watched the second to last Video. Alot of work for sure. Still remember thinking about getting one when were mid teens. Got a Z3M Coupe instead. Amazing looking cars.

My Fave angle. When we got it. Underside. 7.5 years old. Who said MX5 rust?

Colour really pops. Glad I went for an Anniversary. Black Roof/Mirrors works well. Other ltd edition models (of which were many) never had the black windscreen surround which I think works well with the top up.

Finally got a chance to take some pics.

When I see Fabia VRS written I expect to see a Mk1 tdi. I remember going to test drive one and ended up buing as it was so cheap. New it was £12k in 2005 and they gave discount to take it to £10.5. I think they were on last legs & went bust a few months later. Did 45k across 3 years sold it...

My wife got a MX5 earlier in the year. Its now 8 years old. Only done 6k. So tyres are 8 year old OEM bridgestones but got 7-8mm on them. When I looked at other low miles MX5's the tyres had cracked sidewalls if still on originals. But these still look like new I guess it was hardly driven &...

Nice pics. Loving that Blue Skyline with Gold wheels. Not so sure about the ones that are mobile speakers.

Yeah I saw a youtube on that. Could be right running down stock before launching PS5. But there were none of those either or normal PS4. Just Cup-2 and some all season tyre.

Yeah was going to wait a bit see if they come back. Depths are ok but a bit of cracking on the shoulders. So may have been worth changing going into winter.

235/35/19. I think that is fairly well used on the larger hot hatches. There are some on Ebay and Goodyears available. So can get if I want. Just did not know if there was a shortage?

Just had a look as was thinking of replacing my front Michelin PS4s on my Megane with the same tyre to match the rears. Not desperate. Seems like thin pickings on most premium tyres. Has this been going on post covid? Not needed Tyres for a while.

I was contemplating one for a while. Amazing how many just had std seats? Dont know if people had the comfort ones fitted as std or sold them down the line.

That one is clearly helping the cause of pushing up the values of the others. I had a P1 in 2003 and its showing the consistent pattern of appreciating like every car I have owned & sold. Metcalfe's walk around of Silverstone auctions has to many past conquests. To painful.

Had belts Service a couple of weeks ago. First real expense in 4 years. But last two days cleaned the leather with G Techniq stuff that I got at Goodwood FOS. All lovely and matt looking. Lets see if it protects those recaro bolsters. Then I cleaned Alcantara wheel with a couple of drops of...

Looks like they did 100 ltd edition with yellow stitching on steering wheel & carbon on dash.

Saw one today. 19 Plate with Ren personal plate. Never even knew it existed.

Oh Nigel Mansell walked past balancing that Slug! Only celeb spot.

Had a good day allround. Do struggle to see anything meaningful. Find yourself 20 feet away from the action watching the big screen. The new electric revolution a bit souless with lack of noise. Dont even know they are running. Very Quick though. Those Singers 911's are amazing was a few inc...

Was like a convoy of Helicopter heading back from Goodwood at 08:15 this morning. 3 on the bounce.
