Evening everyone!


Been meaning to join the site for ages and I've finaly got round to doing it!

Firstly a bit thanks to eveyone! Nutz was such a help when buying my MX5 back in March and will no-doubt continue to answer all my questions and quereis! I'm sure I'll have many more to come and hopefully I might be able to help others out too!

Heres a quick pic of my car (if I've manged to upload it properly!)

It's a 2002 Arizona, standard at the moment and probably going to stay that way for a while as its my daily driver. Was thinking of a MK1 originally but thought I'd go for a few creature conforts as it my only car at the moment. Realy enjoying driving it and hoping to get to a few track days in the near future - any recommendations greatly appreciated!!

I'm a bit of mechanical novice but am hoping to do as much on the car as I can my-self and learn as I go!


Am based in Nottingham so if theres any meet/events in the area count me in!


Anyway thats all for now, hopefully see you all around some time!!

Welcome to Nutz. I'm from Notts too - there's some nice circuits nearby like Donington and Cadwell (and Oulton is worth the 2hr drive). Blyton is good if you're a track-day novice.

Thanks! Was originally on the look out for one in black, but saw this and was converted immediately - its got really nice glow in the sun! Am living in the Nuthall/Broxtowe area at the moment, you from Notts too?

Thanks! Blyton sounds like a good suggestion, been to Donnington to see the BTCC last year and know Oulton fairly well - my dad took me there many a time when I was younger, really nice circuit like you say! I'm looking forward to getting some time on track and getting some tuition too, I imagine its totaly different to a B-road blast! Will give you a wave if I see you around Notts!

Gorgeous car! Yellow looks great on the '5... wanted one for ages but never found the right one. Sadly I saw a yellow Mk1 sitting looking very sad and covered in tree sap last week...what a waste :(
The OC are meeting at the Unicorn in Gunthorpe this evening if you fancy meeting up with a load of enthusiasts :)
