How on earth are they going to make it smaller?

Can anybody recommend a reliable Mount garage that's MX5 friendly? Das StripeMonster is in need of a service, and my wallet doesn't really want me to go to the Mazda place

Fark! Hope I haven't jinxed myself by saying this

Took the Monster for a WOF today, her first WOF after the new rules came in place. I nearly shat myself when one of the guys dragged out that wee little microphone db metering thingy. Guy in the Monster revved her up, while the other guy held said db metering thingy behind the exhaust pipe. I was sw...

I'm thinking about re-striping my Monster. There's now another red Mex around here with white stripes. Can't have that!

Awesome!

About time too

It must be only crazy fools like me who drive with the top down when it's raining :D Remember >55km/h is the magic number to keep dry ;) With all the roadworks going on here (Tga and Mount) it's virtually impossible to even get to 30kph Going to work (from the Mount to Tga over the harbour bridge) ...
