Hi guys,

Unless there was another crash that morning this one would have been me and my white 33. It was on ellenborough drive at the turnoff to barton hwy. I was going striaght down ellenborough toward the city and someone didnt see me coming and started to turn from ellenborough onto barton. I didn't have time to get out of the way. The other driver and I are fine. Bit of a sore neck for me today (day off work, woo!) but I'm trying not to think about the real issue here, the car! I'm not sure at this point if my baby will make it. Her front-right quarter is now gone. The wheel was twisted back in a way that no man should have to see. The door was crumpled in a bit as I had to barge against it to get out. I don't know how fixable any of it is so I'll just wait and hear from the insurance guys I spose.

:)

Adam.

Not good at all. Sounds like you weren't at fault which is one thing. But the main thing is you are and the others involved are OK - which I am glad to hear. :)

Well I found out today that the car is written off. It was an awesome car that treated me well. I'm still undecided as to whether I'll get another 'line striaght away. I might actually see what it's like to have some money in my pocket for a change and get something cheap (oh god what am I saying?).. I have every intention to get another one at some point though!

That is a shame mate

Looked like it was a nice ride

glad everyone was ok though and I hope that you don't have any hassles with insurance

see if you can buy the wreck back for a couple of grand and wreck it yourself. you will bake a bit of extra cash back that way.

Get another line dude :) they are quite cheap at the moment and you will hate anything else you get!

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
