MX5 for grown-ups

Post by DBM58 » Sat Jun 23, 2012 1:38 pm

Have you ever thought that having eight cylinders in your MX5 is not enough? This one that I saw the other day has 12, arranged in a V.

The boot lid looks to be standard - at least the high-level brake light anyway. Although it is hard to see from these shots, the interior is still mostly original too.

I saw this car being built. the owner owes a lot of people a lot of money and people are looking for him..

Driving around in this just makes it a lot easier

That truely is one of the most hideous things Ive ever seen done to any car let alone a mx5.
Why?.
And whats with the towbar.
Maybe they work for Veilside who produce a range of just as ugly bodykits.
