MX-5 OC Forum

 Sunny in Bristol today

Unfortunately, events overtook me & not managed the journey Porlock way but still on my 'things to do' (again) list, see how it compares with the alignment done.

Have a good journey flo_67, have my instructions from Mother in law to go & visit her soon so am adding that to my list

 Although I grew up in St Austell, raised a family there and still live there, I reckon you're doing the right thing by heading for Falmouth! Have a good day.

I'm in West Cornwall, between Helston and Penzance. I should be picking up my first MX-5 (series 3 1.8) at the end of next week.

 Just in time for the holidaymakers to go home (come back soon!) so you can enjoy quieter roads; I'm told that the drive from St Just to St Ives is a good one. Perhaps I'm a bit biased, but I reckon that an MX-5 in Cornwall is the perfect blend of car and county.

I must agree with you as theres no other place where the airs so fresh when the tops down.....stunning way to travel

Some excellent twisties over that way. I used to enjoy driving my company cars (various Mondeos, Vectras and latterly a Mazda 6) to St. Ives, so taking the MX-5 should be fun. I'm picking it up on Friday - confirmed with the dealer late yesterday. Thankfully the weather forecast is looking a bit better, with the thunder and rain predicted for Friday now put back to Saturday.

I'm here too!  just moved down from Northants......................a lo-o-o-o-ong walk as still hunting for my new 5!  hope I get one before the end of the year as I really miss having one. 

i are ere.

got the 5  3 months ago,  had a few minor issues but it is a fun car.

the st ives - st just route is my favorite, a dam good thrashing in places where you can see the road is clear. an exiting drive with stunning scenery. best time is early summer mornings.

proper job.
