Ive turned to the darkside....Jap Import and bought a Eunos Roadster 
Picked her up yesterday, spent a good 7 hours cleaning her today, the paint was caked in tar and other horrible deposits so after lots of cleaning, clay baring, polishing and waxing I thought its time to take some pics. My insurance doesnt start until tomorrow so no nice locations until tomorrow sorry.






And one with a friend's MX5

It is an Import model, 1.8, LSD, front and rear strut braces, k&n panel filter and a roll bar and lowered an unknown amount. Absolute joy to drive! I have no plans for her at all, just to keep her well maintained and buy some proper tyres

The corsa went last weekend It was just too costly to run for me. The 1.8 is 135bhp. I havent been able to give it a good run yet, my insurers are closed saturday afternoon and sunday so tomorrow evening I'll know then

Cheers Robin, I think mine is an s-special. The only thing missing from the s-special spec is a rear spoiler. Its insured today and its awsome to throw around lanes
