Just wanted to say hi to everyone,  last week I sold my Westfield Seight 3.9ltr V8 after 4 yrs of ownership and a few trackdays. I loved my Westfield , it was bloody quick and sounded fab , but it just didnt get used enough, last year I was either busy or it was pissing down. so I only managed 500 miles in a year. my other hobby is photography , but if it was raining at the weekend and I took our normal car the mrs had no wheels and the Westfield sat in the  garage so I decided to sell .
I wanted a fun sports car that  was more usable, last week I found and bought an 04 S-VT sport with only 33000 miles on the clock, 3 owners and full service history.

After only a weeks ownership Im in love, the roof is amazing , the westfield used to be a 20 minute job but the MX is seconds. the handling is lovely. seems to grip really well through the twisty stuff.  I now have a boot I can get stuff in, and my bum will be warm in the winter with my heated leather

Yes I'll miss the rawness and power of my Westfield but I really can see why you guys love your MX5's they are a fab car. I toyed with an MR2 ( no stowage space, and mrs didnt like) BMW Z3 ( liked but only found ones with big engines that I liked, been there done that) Mercedes SLK, (saw a few I liked but just not sporty enough.)

Looking forward to a summer of driving fun and looking forward to meeting some of you at future meets
