MX-5 OC Forum

Just to say what a great day it's been, and well done to all who organised it. Being a new '5' owner, and being on my own, there were many people who were more than happy to share their knowledge, what a great bunch, even the traders!

Pity about the weather at the end of the day, but hey!, it was good for most of it!  

When's the next one?

I hope everyone agrees that it was a very enjoyable day, many thanks again.

Rob.

Just like to say what a great week-end.

Well done to Yorkshire Ridings members for making it so.

Really enjoyed the "Heartbeat" drive roof up roof down may have

persuaded me to get an electric one next time.

Met some great people freindly and helpful kinda restores your

faith in what life all about.

Thanks till next time.

Enjoyed the air museum, enjoyed watching the time trials, etc,.. good selection of trade stalls and car exhibits. Even tried the standing quarter. Mrs Valiant says you can't get better value for just 4 quid.

She's not wrong.

 Thank you for a brilliant weekend Yorkshire! We had a super time, the Ramada hotel was lovely, as was the dinner and the company was great. As usual D.J caused a stir...firstly with his tie on Saturday night and secondly with his yellow trousers today!

Thank you!!!

 Likewise, enjoyed a super day.  The weather was kind to us in the main, great to see old friends and make new ones.  As Trevor said, it really does restore one's faith in human nature to see so many lovely people gathered together........

Well done Mick and the team......

 Could not agree more great day and weather held off until the 4 hour drive home in the rain, tired but still smiling.

Great to see old friends and make some new ones thats what owning a 5 is all about

cheers

This was my first attendence at a '5 day and I have to say it was very good and also a good venue as the air museum was a nice distraction and made it a 2 part day as we just came for the Sunday. We would have liked a few more traders stands but on the whole well done to the organisers it was a fun day and was awesome to see so many '5s in one place, I've never been in a car club since I was a member of the Capri Club a long time ago (now stop laughing they are still cool cars and mine ran a top spec V8) and I was impressed by the MX5OC today. Looking forward to next big one!

An absolutely fantastic weekend. The Heartbeat run was excellent and well worth going for alone. The Rally was as good as ever. I even managed a sneaky 15.05 on the standing 1/4 mile. Many thanks to all who participated in the organisation and management of the weekend. You all did a magnificent job

More than lived up to the anticipation. 

A great weekend, both socially and car wise.

A big thanks to all the organisers for all their hard work in making this a brilliant event. Those of us that have done it before, know just how much hard work is involved behind the scenes in creating a great event for all.

Best Wishes

Andrew

Well done Yorkshire Ridings, thanks for a great day out.

 Yeah, brilliant job Yorkshire Ridings....

Great day out despite the rainfall at the end. 

Best bit - beating my brother at the timed track event even though his mx5 has a turbo fitted :-) I haven't stopped grinning yet..

Thanks

Jane

 As I was early this morning (9.30am) , I thought I would take a shot of the cars all lined up. I then took another shot 2 hours later, I could not get them all in, even with my camera which has a wide angle lens!

Great to see so many '5's' all together!

Thanks again for a great day.

Cheers,

Rob.

 Enjoyed yourself then :-)

I was in the black car next to you (bonnet up in the first pic.)

  Hi Doug!

Good to hear from you. Yes I did thanks, did you?

I saw that you had left earlier than me, hope to had a safe journey home. 

I have been talking to Steve tonight, he had a part I was looking for, and he is kindly sending it to me.

Rob.

Great time. Nice, like-minded people, some great cars, good deal on parts, got a photo of me driving onto the 'pan' (parking area) from the Digital Photo guys, a new Club Cap and had a good nose around the Air Museum site too.

Left around 2-2:30 not sure exactly but 10 minutes down the road it started to spit with rain and I just got the hood up before the deluge! After that it rained on and off, light and heavy, all the way home - but it was a good run back. Traffic reasonably light and people taking heed of the road conditions for a change. Funnily enough it 'seemed' shorter going back :-)
