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.

Gorgeous! That’s my dream car, I hope you have lots of fun driving it.

I actually told a male friend who knows a bit about cars and has an old MR2, what I'd done, in the pub last night. I was expecting him to laugh at the midlife crisis, slightly predicable naffness and tell me all the reasons it was a bad choice, but actually he was a bit out out because he'd spent the day looking at them himself and I'd got there it first 🤣

I had an MX5 for 8 years. It made me happy every time I looked at it and I loved driving it. It was also mechanically very reliable and no trouble to own. I hope you have lots of fun with yours!

I saw one the other day and it was gorgeous!! Enjoy!

Obviously you will need a navy bag and shoes and maybe a really nice scarf. Possibly a denim jacket too. I wish I'd done it, too late for me now the arthritis means that I could get in but would need a team of strong men to get me out again

I got myself an MX5 before we were married and had kids etc. purely because I didn't rely on it for work and didn't have to transport kids around etc. was a sad day when I finally had to let it go, 14 years and 2 children later.
I'll get another one one day. So reliable and economical (surprisingly!) to run.

It's lovely, one of my neighbours has one in navy blue, it's a beautiful looking car.

Oh it's lovely 😍

It's gorgeous, good for you!
Also, well jealous.

I’m not into cars (I’d buy a camper van if I had the spare money) but that is very nice indeed! I do wish that all cars would be more attractive to look at, preferably in shades of blue and Green rather then grey and white!

Lovely car

Sadly too close to ground for me

I like sit higher up so I can see better all around me like a hawk

I am not into cars but I'm into that car! It's gorgeous and I love it in navy!

Ha ha before I had even scrolled down I knew it would be an MX-5!

10 years ago I did the same dithering OP, and went for it. My beautiful MX-5 is still with me and even the drive to do the weekly shop is a joy (and bonus it keeps me from buying too much as I know I've got to fit it in the boot! 😁).

Enjoy!

Oh yes, and the rule is that you have to wave to other MX-5 drivers! I have been known to do it, forgetting I'm in my husband's car instead 😳

I did keep a second car for a while (I have a large dog and didn’t want her muddy feet on my lovely cream leather seats!) but eventually that one failed its MoT so badly it went for scrap and I took that as the Universe telling me I had to just keep my nice car. And I’ve realised the leather seats wipe clean of muddy paw prints anyway.

Your new car is fabulous!

Wow, now THAT'S a car!
