Washed and leathered the MX5 and the Puma, burbled down to Tesco and filled up with petrol. Queues all disappeared, will probably reform next at the Post Office to buy up stamps at the old price before they go up this month.
I bought one of these in their half-price sale recently, it was boxed as a genuine Mazda part from the US - guess I better keep an eye out for signs of pitting too!For the secomd time this year.......removed my chrome filler cap as it has started to go pittedLuckily I have kept the old one. This is the second chrome filler cap i've had from MX5Parts and this time it is going back and I shall demand a refund instead of a replacement. I am now liking my standard flap ........ it's smarter and less hassle than having to constantly keep an eye out for blemishes.

Good turnout of viewers and buyers for both the professional artists and the amateurs:View attachment 8383 Had a haircut as I will be assisting at a preview evening for an Art Exhibition and Sale to help raise funds for the church tower restoration. The great and the good turn up to guzzle and slosh for free. Have to practise my curtsey as the Marquess of Salisbury usually appears as patron. At least he always buys a picture or two. Not sure if he has any wall space left in Hatfield House to hang them though.

Thanks for that, I have Bridgestone Turanza ER300 in 195 50 R15 on my MX5 and son has same on his Puma and they seem reasonable on both cars.Here it is
Evo magazine did a tyre test on Mk3.5 2.0sportsin 2010, here is an excerpt from it
http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2010-EVO-Tyre-Test.htm
Couple of things to bear in mind which were raised on MX-5.com where I originally posted it were that several popular tyre choices for MX5 were not tested, that the test was conducted at Continental's own test track and that the Potenzas they tested were not the correct load rating. So not an ideal test but something to mull over none the less. I have Potenza RE050s all round on mine,no probs
