I've only gone and done it!

[Bakerfoot]

I've been dithering about buying myself a completely unsuitable car, that I don't need and actually won't drive that much, for ages. I've just ordered it!

There's absolutely no sensible way to justify the decision, it is undoubtedly mid life crisis related and I daresay that's what many people will say about it.

Exciting though.

[Smartiepants79]

If you can afford it. Who cares! Have fun.

[saveforthat]

What is it?

[Bakerfoot]

MX5 RF

[InTheShallowTheShalalalalalalalow]

Good for you op, I hope it brings you lots of happiness.

Its bloody nice too.

[BraveFacesEveryone]

Oh love it! I had a feeling it would be a MX5!! I love them, I really hope you enjoy it!!

I did this for my 50th, bought a convertible. Loved it then and 15 years later I still love it. Never regretted it for a moment, it was one of the best purchases I ever made.

Enjoy your new car!

Did you keep a practical car too? I have a newish, modest family car, which I'm planning to keep, but two cars seems the height of extravagance!

[MoisturiseYourMoose]

Why the fuck not.

Life is short. Enjoy your new car!

[MurderousCheekbones]

That is pretty sweet. Have fun in it!

[ImWearingPantaloons]

Phenomenal!!!!

Hope you enjoy every mile you drive in it

[Compash]

(Is it navy blue? I love a dark blue car - so smart!)

Yes. Standard was white, which I didn't want. Other choices were red, black and grey. I thought this was more interesting than black or grey and less flash/more classy than red 🤣

[Compash]

It is classy! So nice to have something a bit different - I recently switched to blue after years of grey.

I bet you end up grinning and waving at other MX5 drivers... 😄

MX5 RF

[Clariceamelia]

Envy has descended !!

Enjoy every minute of your new toy!

[HellonHeels]

My dream car! How wonderful - congratulations 💙

[Loopsielou]

What a beauty! Cream leather interior?

No it's black, which I'm not 100% sure of on a black car either.

[Bluebellsinthewind]

I've never heard of a mx5 before. But oh what a bueuty. Enjoy op

[MrsBosomworth]

As a 50 year old I most definitely approve to the point that I'm almost green with envy! Enjoy it and happy motoring!

[DebbieElsden]

It's beautiful, enjoy!
