Title: New Car!!!
Post by: Jaimz on August 24, 2007, 17:53:56 PM
Well after saying goodbye to the C2 on Tuesday it didnt take me too long to find a replacement.

Well, went to Norwich and looked at it today and bought it for £3800 with 6 months tax. Only blemish are the alloys where the paint is peeling as you can see in the pics but new alloys coming soon so not too fussed it helped be barter down the price. Also missing the T-Sport badge on the rear but its getting debadged too. Some reason my new phone stretches pics a bit :?

nice one. Now lose the pissy pirelli tyres, and get a set of F1s on there.

Avoid toyo because frankly, theyre sh*te, borderline dangerous.

Indeed. Im still mulling over respraying the MX-5 in black.

Nice score Jaimz. So this model is much sportier than the standard version?

Gonna use the rest of the tread on the Pirellis and then go for some new rims with GSD3s on :)

110bhp, sports suspension, 0-60 in 8.5 secs - sufficiently rapid.

you taking it to uni with you? if youre first year good luck with the parking matey!!

recent experience didnt favour me too well, unless i parked it a fair walk away and moved it at about 10 oclock at night..........was definately handy tho for errr...mid week spur of the moment trips to alton towers ha ha

ah uni, how i miss it so

edit - and to say top choice on the motor matey, ive got one except its a pithy 1ltr gls but its all well built and cant see owt going wrong with it any time soon....touch wood

I have to admit wet performance isnt fabulous, Ive read stories the same for the F1s. When I next change tyres it will be to F1s, so Ill know for sure then.

The sidewall flex is absolutely catastrophic - I had one come off a rim on the activa
