Mmm, I think black eyed man is envious. Maybe he would be happier with the creaky, squealy, squeaking VP if he got rid of his creaky, squealy, squeaking kids, lol.

was getting out of mine at the shops the other day, just parked and left motor idling while closing windows and sunroof's and some 40 odd year old lady walked past the front (had reversed into carpark) and gave me the dirtiest look possible, ie as if i'd gotten out and taken a s**t in the middle of the carpark or something. then got to her car bout 3 spots down, by which time i was out and just with a slightly raised voice said. just cause u can't afford it, she looked up and i turned and walked. found it quite amusing though was half expecting an abusive note or smashed window when i came back.

Hahaha, I get this every day... Most of the time it's from 60+ year olds in standard M35s, and I drive past them laying frame and throwing sparks... The digust I get thrown my way is awesome

Dont worry, we all understand. :P

What happens when the chassis is ground away or you catch a the crossmember on a lip?

Subframe sits below chassis.... My sway bar is flat on the bottom and subframe is shiney silver.. Aint scared :domokun:

The person behind you might be when you catch the subframe and come to a stop instantly. lol

So the other night in Pt. Pirie I thought I'd get some fuel and a icecream, on my return from paying I find a rather drunk local standing (swaying actually) in front of my a car with a big smile on his face and chuckling to himself. "All good?" i say to him and he goes "F!@# Yeah, thats cool car hey bro" then proceeds to walk away while still focused on my car. Well you can guess what happened next, yep, BAM!!! straight into the petrol pump in the next row, falls on his arse, then tries to get up by pulling on the hose that is now on the ground!

Was the funniest thing I seen while I was there

Motorbike rider at the lights today pulls up next to me and asks "How hard was it to put the Pioneer deck in? I've got a Blue M35!" Ahaha before he said he had a blue M35 I was like "wtf does this guy want".

Seems a lot of bike dudes are into Stageas!

Getting back to Volvos....

We now have two in the family... Well a silver/grey M35 does count as a XC70 really...

Finally after 160k the wifes Saab 9-5 is now gone, and replaced with this... Still a 2.5 and a turbo...:thumbsup:

Haha, glad that XC70 isn't silver Nick, could get confusing.

Bit iffy with an WRCxxx number plate.

Made me smile as well... Especially as they had a couple of Evo's on the lot as well... Had been taken in Trade against a S60 T6 AWD in seperate transactions..

    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
