    I was filming in a car park for the local doctor's office, and the nearby resident just didn't like that. I thought you guys would find it interesting to see how it can be a little difficult to film out in public sometimes...

I didn’t mod the car at all, but I absolutely loved it. You’re right about the tendency to rust though… mine was starting to show rust all over the place by the end. Checked it on DVLA the other day, it’s still out there more than a decade after I sold it, so the rust was clearly sortable…

    My stepdad was so sad when he sold his 1999 MX-5. It even had a chrome luggage rack on the back and a nice wooden steering wheel, plus it was painted racing green!
    Unfortunately he only drove it a handful of times a year, so it cost way too much in insurance and maintenance for those few hours of fun.
    I drove it several times and enjoyed it massively. The thing basically had the same power of a BMW 316i but weighed 500 kg less! That combined with the low ride-height and the tiny shifter made it feel like a go kart. So much fun! They don't make cars like this anymore.

    1. Ditch those EBC brakes and pads. Get some Endless or Project Mu discs and pads and prepared to be amazed at what great braking is.
    2. Your peak power is at 7K - keep that pedal pressed to the metal!
    3. Organise a car meet in that car park and invite that resident along ;)

Found a local firm called Kiwi Colour, who come to your house and do the job for you. Full Estoril Blue respray and whatever other magic they require, as well doing as a small bumper scratch (probably accidental vandalism at a festival, BMW quoted £1,200). Whole job cost £310, and the chap was super lovely too. Legends. Fully recommended if you're Leeds/Yorkshire based.
