Picked this up last weekend! Love it so far, not given it a good run yet but it's clearly got a bit of go in it. Think it looks nice and mean too!
It's the ST2 as I preferred the half leather to the full of the ST3. And it was good mileage and 5 mins up the road if that.

Lowering the tone a bit.
Failed its MOT on a ball joint and advisory for damaged wing.
All sorted now ready for re-test.
Tester said with how it looks, it was the biggest gulf in expectation vs. reality he's had in a while. Should now pass with no advisories.
Did some tuning as well. Got 5HP out of it.
Now just waiting for some warmer weather so I can prep and paint it all one colour......

Starting to realise this, still learning the car and I was driving it hard the other day in the dry trying the race and CT Off modes and in short it reminded me of driving the JP-LM 2 seater on a JP day, that is how sorted and focused it feels when you really dial it up but at the same time its happy to do 30mph comfortably and still feels very quick.
Loving it, its just an insanely fun car to drive that always feels quick, something the Huracan was missing as that made going fast easy, so rather glad I went prancing horse vs bull, though I still love the Lambo's too.

My 2001 Integra Type R. Not a patch on some of the cars on here but I love it for what it is - great fun and a keeper unless I remain unemployed for too long!! 
Probably broke, this just purrs.
Seeing your comment in the Top Gear thread reminded me - had a chat with the woman at work who owns the Clio it is broken and more than the car is worth to fix apparently.
Shame coz it is quite a nice car with the Renault racing bucket seats, etc.
Not a fan of that aftermarket red Ford badge... Sorry.Taking advantage of the nice weather

Probably because Mazda are claiming all of the headlights for the MX5s first.
Do you drive it much?
I'll probably get accused of being an eltist but that looks pretty rough in my eyes. You're going to paint it yourself?What's going on with the beemer? Not seen any updates.
Shame, can it be removed? Is it one of those gel overlay things?Neither am I - it was installed on the car when I bought it

It does look pretty rough yes! Yeah I drive it every day, I've always wanted a cheap beater MX5 for some reason. This one was the cheapest non rotten one I could find. £500, LSD, 68K miles, no rot, but rear end damage and poor paintwork.
Its mechanically immaculate and cosmetically challenged. I plan to paint it up like this. Kind of Initial D AE86 "themed":
And it usually wears different wheels, but I swapped them over for the MOT as they have some inner edge wear on the tyres and I wasn't sure if they would pass.
BMW is fine, not a lot going on, its running and driving but not much has changed. There is an update in my thread.
A blue one:
First drive yesterday for a long time (since November I think).
Potato pic of the other blue one.
Nice, DC5's are great cars.

He wasn't the only one to make that comment (and supporting remarks) , as you well know
Also, just noticed the typo, technically speaking, nobody called us eltists
