Well, it's not really a Miata but I think the name is cooler than MX5 and I have a KG Works Miata Brake Light cover on the back of it.

This car and I have a lot of history together, bought it in 1997 and had it ever since. Got married in it, did a lap of Ireland in it, did the Isle Of Man TT Course in it, went to the Nurburgring and back in it and more recently have been annoying people by parking it in Tesco's Parent & Baby parking, quite legitimately I may add. As well as teh exciting stuff, it was a daily driver for about 8 years and racked up 100000 miles.

It hasn't turned a wheel in 2 years, but I think this year I'll get her going again.

I think they are from Cultra in 2005, I havn't raced since 2006. Hope to be at Cultra this year, but only as a spectator. Next year, who knows.

The car is pretty standard apart from Mazdaspeed suspension, the cage and 15" OZ Alloys. And the stripes and teeth :grinning:

Teeth are still on it, and you can still buy them at http://www.autoxpressions.com/ There are 6 different types.

Dunno Daz, I havn't stuck oil in it for about 3 years so assume she's as tappity as ever

Pete, that's not Muppet Club you eiijet, that's Kirkistown, actually I have a funny feeling I took that picture, am I right?

Was it some Yank that bought the car and ripped you off or is my old mind playing tricks?

Brought the kids down last night and opened the garage door for the first time in 6 months, pleased to report the old fella is still there, it was the first time my daughter had ever seen it and she loved it.
