Run off the road by a fellow MX5?!?!?!

Shermio · Post by **Shermio** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 5:55 pm

This morning on my way to work, I was on the left lane turning right onto the Constellation on-ramp when a fellow MX5er red NB [BE Y0U] beside me came up from the right right hand lane and as if it was a racing line cut me off and forced me onto the kerb...

She didn't even give me a wave after she passed me...

That's why I drive a white one, the red ones just don't seem to care....

And the most cautious are the BRG models

Actually that's due to the Nausea caused by having to look out across that BRG bonnet.

CSimple cure though, just take 2 disprin (there’s a reason they’re not green) and trade up to… any other colour except pink.

Even though I am a defender of all that is white and silver, I used to see a woman in a white one each morning cutting off car after car as she continually weaved lanes. Had wire wheels and a personalised plate I can't quite recall…(probably a good thing).

Poor old Sherm.....

He was probably fuming when he posted this, and what does he get...frivolity.

What are the statistical chances of 2 MX5's being in the same place at the same time, even in Auckland.....?

The answer to the problem, drive a Kenworth.

not enough visibility - Shermio needs more lights

Exactly, Just drove 1300km from Tauranga thru Taupo, Napier, Manawatu, Wanganui, New Plymouth, Otorohanga back to Tauranga over 5 glorious days from 7th Jan. Saw only 1 other MX5 on the road at TeKuiti. Where are they all? Cheers Stevo

A lot of them are here around Marlborough!
Something to do with the sunshine, great roads, scenery, wine and food here
I suspect.

Really??? Funny enough on the day of the incident there were MX5s a plenty on the way to work (Around the AKL Airport) I saw about 6... 2 with roofs down!

And I don't really get angry or upset, just wanted to point out to watch out for each other

They're all here, in Christchurch! Daily commute from Rangiora and if I don't see at least three MX-5's (mostly NA's) each way then it's a slow day - no one waves though

I bought mine from near Rangiora too! Owners replaced with a Z3 iirc as was better for relaxing cruising/posing
