Hi!
It started like this; myself and a friend conversing over his iminent house move and my recent fun at a track day. Then he said "Do you want an MX5, needs a little sorting"
And now i am the happy owner of an N reg 1.8 MX5.
For my own interest I'm bloggin my journey of MX5 owner-ship, it can be found here http://elwoodsmidlifecrisis.blogspot.com/
My real name is Jon, in the car world im known as Elwood, I respond to either!
Cheers,
J

First greetings and welcome
Never a mid life crisis, just another part of your personality
Read your Blog, can not believe you are blaming poor GMD for you getting smashed, as for the drill to get rid of rust on the carries and what nots, i use 30% acid with a phos in it to clear it and it will not affect the rubber far quicker and easier but if GMD wants to just use the man toys and make a lot of noise and dirt,happy days.
Looks like it is going to be a good read,please carry it on if can lay off the soup
Good luck and enjoy.
