MX5 owners

They are a special breed.

This is from the FB MX5 group

"Hi guys and gals!
Today Mazda service told me to replace my disc and pads on my mx5 2017 icon only the front one. Can this be right? I thought the mx5 brakes were on the back ?
Thanks"

Re: Car Plans 2024

I only bought the mx5 in May so that won't be going anywhere. The Panda 4x4 has barely turned a wheel since I've had the mx5 but winter is on the way! We are thinking of changing my wife's Focus but she only works in the office one day a week so it rarely gets used, 6 years old and 18000 miles on t...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I know nothing about any of their problems or foibles but out of that list I'd have the 135i for no other reason than it reminds me of the old school RWD hot hatch era, Chevette HS, Lotus Sunbeam etc.

Re: HC you miserable bunch

I've been visited by Father Covid :roll: I've had a really bad cough over Christmas that was almost making me throw up at some points, not nice at all. We've been away for Christmas so when we got home I did the test and there in all its glory was the positive result. My wife also decided to do the ...

Resizing complete.

The screws were tiny but with a good jeweller's screwdriver plus an illuminated desk magnifying glass to help my old eyes, it wasn't too bad.

Re: The Watches Thread

I've got a set of screwdrivers that go down to the correct size so that should be ok. Youtube has thrown up a couple of videos and the main thing that I have learnt is don't drop the screws :?

Re: The Watches Thread

Re: The Watches Thread

Given how bullish the watch market is, I'd be immediately sceptical of something that's significantly cheaper than it should be There is no need for the seller to be selling that much under market, so why are they? The watch market has cooled considerably over the last few months so that could be a...

Re: The Watches Thread

Size is 40mm so not at all as large as it looks on photos.
