Twang Gang Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Congratulations - always love a new car. Five months to wait isn't too bad these days - I waited 14 months for the last new one I got. Enjoy. Steering wheel on the wrong side for me, but guess that works for your neck o the woods 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNJ Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Congratulations M-E! Nothing like motoring with the top down and a manual gear box to put a smile on your face. I'm sure there's room in the trunk (boot) so you can have both a NCD and NGD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strapped the amp into the passenger seat using the seatbelt and the guitar (in a gigbag) wedged in the footwell by moving the seat forwards. It worked for 4 years.

Yes we did consider one of these. We looked at them and tried the roof out. That's when I realised it wasn't for me, because the rear window stays put (like the old Toyota MR2) so its just the middle of the roof that folds away. For me that's not not the full top down experience. Also tried out the Fiat 124 Spider (which is still a MX5 with sleeker body panels & a Fiat multiair engine). That was terrific, but you cant get a new one now.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through a couple of MGA's then an MGBGT followed by a 124 Spider and a few X1/9's, my FRS didn't have the covetable option but probably just as well in my high rain environment. But I am really drawn to sleek cars that stick to the road. I do love the styling on the MX5's, enjoy....

Most of the small roadsters I drove in Arizona going through the mountains and desert, kind of touring with friends that liked to drive. The Big Island does have a lot coastline to explore, which the drive in a fun car makes discovering hidden places even more enjoyable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MX5 RF is a retractable roof (I think). I've got a '17 MX5 Miata, the rag top.  I love it. It's my everyday vehicle and incredibly reliable.  I've had a '60 Austin Healey 3000, a '65 Chevy Impala SS convertible, a '67 VW Beetle convertible, and an '80 MGB (incredibly UNreliable). The Healey was the coolest car I ever owned. The MX5 is the most fun car I have ever owned. I would definitely buy another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
