MX-5 OC Forum

Maisie:

The MXican:

It's nice to see that you have all kissed and made up now!

Good look for the future Kev, it's a shame that you are selling your 5. Just remember that you have become a good friend and you are always welcome to join us anytime, even if you still want to organise another skittle night?

 

 

Well said Mex,

Kev, we will all miss you terribly, and I'm sure its not a decision you arrived at lightly. Please, please keep in touch, you always know where to find us, and you're welcome anytime (just have a shave first??)

...oh just a note to those above...... please don't fall out in our forum, (that right is reserved for myself and Mex)..... Mexiland is a happy place and we'd like to keep it that way.... and just for the record, I drive a MK3 - and SHE is my pride and joy

I totally agree with what Maisie says...............submissive, old git, Mk3 owner talking 

Just metal, rubber and plastic. Remember that next time it won't start or the heaters take a bit to warm up and you start to say " ohh come on old girl!" we all do it. So either we're all mental or think a little more of our cars than that! Like someone else said on here give it a bit and you'll have forgotten most of the bad times and want another one!

 Sorry off topic but....

Good grief!!!!! We are talking about a car here - a collection of metal, plastic, rubber and oils - not a family member!!!

It is a form of transport - nothing more, nothing less.  I am sure the little old lady in her Morris Minor enjoys the drive to church; like-wise the sales-rep also enjoys his drive in his Astra.

If I ever get emotionally attached to a car and start calling it "she" then I shall call for the men in white coats.

When it comes to sell mine - I shall just do that - sell it get something else and enjoy that.

Really.

If you just see HER as a car? why join a club for a one make car ?for a passion and love for a single make car??

Hard words for someone that also has a passion & love for their roadster like most of us on here.

As for the the OP, you will miss HER,, a windscreen is a windscreen and is down to the joys of driving,my Mk 1V.S II ,SHE is on her third, ,roof is just down to young d**k heads who know no different , and deserve everything that goes wrong in their lives, tyres? do you have snow tyres or winter tyres fitted ,as snow tyres that are not on snow ride like jelly.

M-m

In think that it won't be long before Kev mutters the all time classic Terminator line..................................

Hi Kev

Sorry to hear you will be leaving the MeXicanS!    We have both enjoyed your company over the past year and wish you all the best for the future - whatever you may drive!!!!

If you have a change of heart, you know where we are.

Joined to find out more about the car, tyres, insurance recommendations, servicing and such stuff.  However, very little on a Mk3 compared to a 1 or 2.  When the time comes my membership will not be renewed and will probably pop in here now and then.  Not a lot here for me - others will get far more out of it then I could - different strokes for different folks and all that.

Info for the Mk 3's will start to be posted up soon, your throwing in the towel to soon, think just how old now the First and second versions are now, for owners around the world to have hit the same problems to be solved and shared, the same will happen with the Mk 3's.

But then again it is just a car to you ,so what do you care???

Apparently - not a lot!

TC :

I totally agree with what Maisie says...............touchy submissive, old git, Mk3 owner talking

Kevin, we will all miss you and sure you will be back, when you discover the "box" just doesnt have the friendly factor

Wouldnt be without our Mk1 and Mk3, we would not have met so many friends with a "box" i'm afraid.

Please refrain from ruining this thread, or it will be locked.

This is a friendly place, not a place for insults!

Absolutely.

I will not raise to any further baits and will only respond to them if by PM.

You have my word.

second that .........im in such an agreeable mood lately (dont worry as it wont last long)

Wow! I wrote my little piece, went off to work and returned late that evening to find it had all kicked off! 

In my naïvety I had assumed my words would only be seen by the Mexicans, didn't realise they would be read by so many other people. Nor had I realised I had written anything which would create something of a furore!

I actually ended up feeling sorry for Cambridge man, he so got the wrong end of the stick as I will explain to him in a PM.

Thanks to all you Mexicans for your kind comments - my membership still has some time to go so I will pop in and say Hi! from time to time and, Mark, if you want me to arrange another skittles evening I will happily do it.

Kev

Sorry to loose you Kev we have had some good times on our drives ,what are you going to do when I organise the sunny days.

Good luck mate all the best.
