Hi Neil, hope you're good. I just wanted to drop you a message to say that I really enjoy your videos. If I could suggest one thing though, I'd really love to see the videos be a little longer, maybe 20 mins or so. I know it takes a lot of effort and editing, but I definitely would like to hear more about you and how you came by your collection and your car history etc. You seem like a great bloke which makes you good to watch, which is why I would enjoy the videos being a little longer to hear more about that side of things. I really liked the vids where you're abroad and doing the gym work too (congrats on the shoot!). I enjoy the variety of what you produce. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Hope you get a good summer in Scotland so you, and the rest of us petrol heads down in England, can enjoy our cars over the next few months. Best wishes, James
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm in 2 minds using P&P. Heard good and bad stories. When I research they have a monopoly on the market - not much competition to choose from.
CVR in East Kilbride seems to be another option but didn’t here back from my enquiry so went with P & P. Seems ok so far, the 12 month checkup will be the real test I guess.
I had a test drive in NC 2.0 i sport tech and already fall in love. I want to buy one of them next year. I hope so I will be able to find a car from person like you tbh 😆
You did that 7 years after the car purchase. If this was done recently. How much of rust had already been built up? and is it okay to even consider this for car of this age?
Man I hate how certain model MX-5's get that HUGE electronics box behind the rear view mirror. It's so unnecessary and blocks an already small windscreen. Is there a way to remove those things?
I checked the underside of my car a few weeks ago and it was in excellent condition, mostly because it has never seen rain, (as far as i know). It is 3 years old TODAY 9th April and i had it booked in at Mazda for the 3 year service and MOT and guess what?.......it's pi**ing down with rain. It is what it is unfortunately and time will tell if i have a three year head start over a daily use car.
Ours started to deteriorate at 5 years old. 7 now and this year it was time to do something. Car has done 10k, mainly dry, miles only. You’re doing the right thing keeping an eye on it though 👍
Strange though I was servicing my Toyota the other day, similar age, many more miles, zero rust underneath. Mazda do need to up their game in this day and age. Great the cars are lightweight but is it actually because they skimp on things rather than great engineering??
Waste of time! It's all under the underseal.git to remove the old stuff before anything. Metal needs protection, not the old underseal.good products, not the best application
Happier now the car has some decent protection. Anyone else planning the same?

Fair play doing it yourself 👏 They definitely need it. Good job to get done and dusted 👍
@@midlifemotors5050 still i think the price you paid is great value 👌
That looks like a really good job.
Took a while and cost a bit but hopefully that’s taken care of things now 🤞

We had an NC 2.0 SportTech before this one. Great car, better steering feel than the nd imo. Just check for rust and you can’t go wrong 👍
Looks much better
Agreed. Fingers crossed it lasts 🤞

Can anyone recommend a place in Cheshire / south Manchester tat could do this?
Im also in the area and need someone for our ND

Great stuff. Straight pipe next?
Correct, exhaust next 😀
Decent
Seems ok 🤞
Just goes to show doesn’t it can’t even trust new cars! But good to see the cars unfortunate rusty dna still lives on 😢

Time will tell
This rust protection is a waste, it needs a garage and wash your car regularly thats all
