bonnet up is not a good look.....

Hi Peter I've heard of these gearbox cog binding problems before and apparently it's been traced in the main, to the inadequate lubrication qualities of some brands of the standard 75W/90 gear oil used in MX5 gearboxes and diffs. The solution could well be to use Redline synthetic Light Shock Gear O...

Is anyone out there?

Hi Eric I think many people have been out on the roads and out and about (or in my case out on the sea) taking advantage of the balmy weather - I've seen some pristine examples of MX5 NA's out and about recently - a credit to their owners when you consider that many of these cars are 16 years old no...

Check out this far out orange MX5

Gidday Glenn First congrats on getting the cert and hey, I'm rather amazed too about the insurance not being any dearer. Go AMI! Re the far out orange MX5, I like the pop-up twin headlights, the colour scheme, the flared guards and the interior (what I could see of it anyway) - but have to agree re ...

Hi Dez

Got your e-mail & taped the episode.

As a man of Irish decent, it's strange that for once I'm lost for words...

Acknowledgement of Letter

Hi all

Received this message this morning as below, so we know David Parker's
office has defintely got the letter. I see there's a phone number supplied
which will come in handy - and which I'll use - if he's a bit slow coming to
the party.

Hi Darryl

You're absolutely spot on the button.

And we're going to give it a jolly good shot to find out what the truth is
about where all this money is going from government - firing time in 60

Hi Grant

Just caught your message before I hit the sack.

Will do and that brings the total to 11 people all up - that's more than
enought to light a fire under Dave Parker - thanks Grant.
