I have no idea. Force of habit I guess.

The amusement/fun element has been slowly deteriorating over the past year. Still some useful information but I miss the wit and banter of those early pioneers that made a visit to the Forum my first task of the day. :'(

:wave:

The Mole is suffering from chronic writers' block. Inspiration is sorely needed.

However he might well surface again at one of the meetings. Easter is just round the corner, the ideal time for a comeback. Perhaps another trip to Wales might be on the cards. The MX5 can't knock the skin off a rice pudding for acceleration but it'll be pretty damn good on the bumps and twists of the Triangle. Bala-Trawsfynydd? Yes please.

He's looked at the Seat/Audi/Mazda forums and decided that cwb was preferable to the chronic boredom they would have induced.

Found a new bit off that road - even better. An MX5 would like it up there, as would you I'm sure. You know where I am  :wave:

I joined because I was looking to buy an A500 E and wanted to know how I could find out it was pucker .... I was a member of the MX-5 forum and found that really helpful in times of need - I am not mechanically minded so need all the help I can get really!!!

I joined because I finally found a car I actually love and wanted to speak to and make friends who actually had the same interests. Perhaps I need to attend more meetings and I wish their was more time in the day.

It's quite good to see this thread revived. Some illuminating old posts actually which show how the forum has developed.  :thumb:
