Hi Everyone


Welcome to my MX-5 page. It all started when I went to test-drive a very nice BMW E46 320i. The Beemer was in tiptop shape and the price was attractive to say the least. 10 days later I bought an MX-5. Guess at 27 I'm still not ready to be a grown-up. I've actually always wanted one, but never needed one, as I already have two other cars, one of which now has to be sold unfortunately.


Except for a few parking lot dents that can be expected on a car with 203000km's on the clock, she's in very good nick. This was the first Mk1 MX-5 I actually drove and in spite of my very high expectations, the driving experience was even better than I expected. Afterwards people must have thought I was retarded because I couldn't get that stupid smile off my face.

My first MX-5 encounter was in 2006 when I visited a friend in Japan. We hired a Mk2 1.8 for a day (20000yen) and travelled to the island of Amakusa where you can find the best driving roads on earth (and some nice empty parking lots)

Nice car. Not something you see everyday here, in Ecuador. Some people don t have that much style. Nicely done. You have my *****5 Star vote. Check out my Mazda Protege sometime and tell me what you think.
