What I did today. (MX5 and Motoring)

Safetymatch and DPC - some good photos there - thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

It looks like you both had a good day out

I had the pleasure of leading the second group on the SWMOC drive, which included DPC and Tez, and we all made it to the lunch venue without losing anyone

It was a brilliant day out - thanks to all SWMOC members who made it so, and in particular to Ali, Jot and Jumpman for devising a route and for their selfless dedication to the cause, in trying out the ice creams on each of the pre-runs

Quite the reverse :frantic:

Some good photos there, although I think the first photo seems to have become the last (and shrunk too ) so the captions don't quite match up!

Safetymatch - I guess it is a small consolation but at least leather seats are easier to clean than cloth ones!!

Jot said:

yeah there was an issue as i initially chose Thumbnail but it didn't do the load up where you click on and they become bigger so i was beaten by the system

Things usually go haywire when I am in the photos

Looks like you didn't get any better weather than we did, although we were cloudy and at times wet we didn't need jackets, weather men Pahh!

Jot said:

Any photos of me - the smaller the better

Ali - some good photos there - thanks for sharing

I will see if I have any photos of group 2, although as I was leading, and was on my own, the photo opportunities were a bit limited!!

yep, the front of a convoy is not a useful place for photos! I will go back to the back!

The most frustrating thing was having an open road in front of you and wanting to put your foot down, and then remembering you couldn't in case the cars behind couldn't keep up :frantic:

Walked along the seafront at Gavin and Staceyland aka Barry Island and had a '99 ice cream

Jot said:

Storm, Eric and Stealth were very well-behaved

As always

As Admiral disappeared into the sunset, having missed the pub, I could just see the credits rolling on the finale of Petrel's adventures

I bought myself a present.....

A very nice looking '5 you have bought there and a nice birthday present to yourself

When do you pick it up or have you got it already?

Ali - looks like a good day out

This evening, I went for a 60 mile topdown drive to buy some chips

Benboy said:

Where is that, Ali?

I have no idea either, but there is a Welsh flag flying so that narrows it down a bit!!

Edited to add - it can't be too far into Wales as Ali drove 131 miles today!

Raglan.... or Raglan..... or Raglan

Is that a guess, have you been there before or did Ali tell you?

Today I thought I would do a tour of the Mazda dealers in the locality to see if I could see the new MX5 Sport Black . I went to 2 dealers and saw all 3 colours (green, white and red) although not all close up (the dealers may not have both been open!!)

The green is definitely the most striking and I am very tempted - there is just the question of the £23k list price!!

Captain - doesn't look like the weather was too good

My wife and I went for a 65 mile topdown drive and stopped for an ice cream, as you do . The heavens opened just as we were finishing eating the ice creams, so we took shelter for 10 minutes! We were then able to continue topdown for the rest of our route, although on rather wet country roads so I now have a rather dirty MX5

DPC - liking the Morgans . When is the next breakfast club - maybe we can organise a MX5Life mini meet to the next one

Which MX5 are you fitting the new seats in?
