What have I done to my car today?
I parked it in the garage for the first time. It was tough; had to fold the mirrors in and everything.

Took it to Cadwell park. First time at this circuit and it was a blast, was nervous for a while because it's much tighter in some sections than other tracks I've done previously (Bedford, Blyton, Oulton, Silverstone). Was up against it all day with my front discs which were on their last legs and eventually failed by the end of the day with some serious steering wobble and they've turned blue 
Bit of footage from the day playing with an M135i, managed to do a 1:56 on camera which I was please with considering the brake issues, I think if I went back I could break 1:50 largely because I'd be more confident in the car.

The MX5, for an MX5.
1993 JDM MK1 Eunos 1.8 w' the same LSD as mine, lots of genuine Mazdaspeed performance parts etc. 92,000 miles, very little rust, undersealed, new clutch, new this and that.
straight px with nothing on top from you?
That would be a swap wouldn't it. 
No its worth a decent whack more than mine. Lots of expensive bits on it etc, we have come to an agreement which is good for both parties.
Looks like the perfect car to boost. Unlike my current one which would need all kinds of supporting mods and tweaks first.
Doing the deal on the 29th. Also collecting a hard top in a couple of days time.

Agreeing to a PX with a stranger up north, sight unseen based on pictures. It went well for me last time, why wouldn't I do it again?

It wouldn't need lots of support mods and tweaks (Mine has nothing other than brake upgrades for a few hundred quid)
The only thing a mk1 does better is not rust, the interior is worse, the Chassis is worse and the engine is worse
well I wouldn't say that mk1 and mk2 are the same! I sorta have this mentality that my next car needs to be an upgrade but after thinking I don't really care. I kinda have a list of cars I wanna own in my lifetime.
