Thanks for a great do Chris! Thanks for coming to find me too, I promise to get a sat nav that works or a map that has Hurst Moreton on it for next time! Better late than never!
The new workshop is fantastic and perfectly retro for all your cars. Nice size workshop and a forecourt too. A good show of 250's, and nice to put faces to forum names and look at the cars. It interesting how they come from the same moulds, but all look so individual.
It was a long day for me, last minute jobs in the morning, insured it (£115, Adrian Flux) then off to the MOT at 10.30 (already late....). Arrived with smoke pouring out of one front wheel, and a seized caliper. Super MOT tester Mark had it on the ramp and a new caliper arrived before I new he had ordered it!! A tweet of headlight aim, some brake bleeding and it passed. :-D Many thanks to Mark for his enthusiasm and time on a Saturday
Hoofed it 95 miles down to Dorset, where I clocked up another 25 miles getting lost as my phone is ill, and confused.
After the meet I hoofed it again (all legal limits Towed!) to Washington just past Arundle bringing the day's total mileage to 180. :-/
It was my first real drive in an MX5. It loves to rev, and goes around any corner I thought I would not make....great B roads in Dorset. The exhaust is a bit of a drone on the m way but worth it for the rest of the time.
Back home today so total miles about 225 this weekend.
THANKS AGAIN TO CHRIS AND DAN FOR A GREAT DO!!
