In the BL days a car that size should have been called Maxi.

I'm very specific about changing the brake fluid, because in the long run it saves money. In my youth I didn't change the fluid (I did everything myself) because nobody told me I should. Result? When I took my then car out of winter hibernation one year, the things in one caliper pushing the...

An 1998 MX5 was my highest 'fun to drive ' ratio car as it was my first open top sports car. Nothing will ever beat that first, sunny summer in that car. It also included my first visit to a famous German race track.
