MX-5 OC Forum

Following considerable argument on the Forum about various merits of colour, i think it's about time the REDS had a place to find peace & comfort.

There are MX5 owners who are loyal to a certain marine related hue but they appear few and far between, some say because of exclusivity others know it’s through misguided loyalty.

The name Blue Brigade is presumably based on the British Army.

Brigade is generally thought to number 3000 to 5000 persons

Fair enough & they may recruit enough to almost cover the lower limit, but, consider:

The British Army Division is in the region of 10000 to 15000 in number (you know where this is going?)

THE RED DIVISION is the proposal on the table which is this electronic Forum.

All those in favour of RED, please register your interest on this thread.

If I am wasting my time, Please do tell me, But, only if you have a red car.

don't know what all that rubbish is above the message but please ignore it.

ROFL!
Look, Joe. In the event i spot your subtley coloured steed passing thro' my fair land i shall wave from my amazing blue steed.
We are all 5s together... and Joes/Jos together

I shall keep my eyes peeled as i go through the southern edge of your county regularly on the way to swansea via Brecon.

 Mine's RED above the waterline, Does that mean im in the RED DIVISION ?

One of my motorbikes is red, but my MX5 plonks me firmly in the marine hued mob.

My reason for posting (not wishing to fan any internecine tiffs) is I wonder what colour is most numerous amongst 5's - all models. The general car populace has to be silver or grey, surely.

 Mmmmmmmmm

That's right Joe, exclusivity is what it's all about, there may well be more red cars than blue cars, but according to the Father of the MX5 Mr Bob Hall, when asked what colour God's Miata is, he replied Mariner Blue of course

Her'es the original quote from ask Bob on Miata.net

As you may well be aware, there is a great debate on what color God's Miata is. What color is God's Miata?

I thought everybody knew. It's Mariner Blue. It matches her eyes.

bwob

I see the Reds are playing their favourite game again Geoff.

CATCH UP! LOL

Always playing catchup Gary.

I think we should have an anthem, maybe Objects in the rearview mirror are usually red 

I am surprised that it has not been mentioned that red ones are faster.

I'll bet this one is certainly louder        

My exhaust is slightly overshadowed by that lovely whine of my SC

Mmmnnn
