I knew I was supposed to be doing something this weekend!!!

I was wondering where you were. I was expecting the stock mx5 vs crazy turbo mx5

I am well aware.

Just thought it would have made a good video to show the massive difference.

How are you finding the reliability? As good as everyone says?

To be fair to it, its not been unreliable in the way that things break leaving it unable to drive but it has been to the dealership about 5 times for repairs carried out under warranty. The repairs being, New steering rack, suspension airbags, window regulators & brake actuator. That little lot came to about £15,000 which isn't great value to say I've only covered 5000 miles in the 1 year of ownership.

It's a great drive, a lovely car to be in, but it does feel delicate compared to the old LS400 I have

No then.

At the end of may and it isn't eligible anymore for renewal!

Nothing has broke since october, Im hoping between now and then a few failures will occur

The boring as hell (to me) Audi Sport for the other half. Soon to be replaced
by a Brabus Smart ForTwo

Funky Auto Mk1 Rav (lazy hacking down to our farm workshop)

1980 Merc 280SE for a bit of retro and my 17th Volvo - this one
being a V70R manual with various upgrades including forged rods, 19t etc etc.
Not sure of BHP, but probably 320+

Another Rav4 up on my tilt ramps. Bangernomic motoring (an annoying hobby of mine) and handy in Winter.

Just sold this T5 to a friend, but also have a tuned up 850 T5 project about to
come out of the garage for some work after owning it but not seeing it much for
about a year.
