Nooooooo!

First one I've seen since last winter

Anyone else with an mx5 as a daily will know the fear and dread they instill.

Went under in early spring to examine the underseal, wire brushed off all surface rust, converted and waxoyled. Rear arches have been treated with epoxy mastic.

Let's see what it's like down there in the spring!

I hope the new yin doesnt have rust problems like its predecessors..
Its rather... ahem... playful right now with summer high performance tyres and ice cold roads.

Whoopie...

I was on the M4 heading upto Bristol about 2 weeks ago and they had Salt spreading signs overhead and a couple of them trucks going up and down... That time of year already :eek:

Just seen one in town, putting my car away for the winter this weekend. Hate the things.

That applies to 90's Vauxhalls too! Just washed mine up and put it under cover

My PS4s are really struggling getting any power down in this weather... Really annoying me
