I'm just curious to professions of people on the list who own an MX5? We
all have to put up with the hairdresser jokes, is anybody here actually a
hairdresser? I should imagine there is a good contingent of Web
Designers/Programmers? I, myself, am a Software Programmer, mostly internet
stuff in Coldfusion or JSP... My partner Jo is the MD of an IT Advertising
Agency, and yes she has a Jellybean too. I know Mike 'Wiseguy' is a tech
head too, zorruno must be as well...
The list has been a bit 'serious' lately, although I still haven't figured
which is the best cams to put in my jellybean, NA 1600 stock ECU.

Well !! I have to admit I do my wifes hair in the interest of saving money.
She used to have a hair dresser ( he had a Datsun 240Z) come around every 6
weeks or so and colour her hair. Now I do it with a Wella kit - pull the
hair through the holes etc etc. I drive a BRG MX to, Does that count? I
guess I am a closet hair dresser. My other occupation is in Managment.

Now now. I think the IS200 is a pretty good car, and in the right colour (dark
silver) looks pretty good. The rest of the Lexii though are dull and boring.

Re: On a lighter note...As an ex tank driver, I would suggest the 106

You would have no problems with retardation when using it on traffic when
moving (no recoil), and it has the added advantage of incinerating the vehicle
following due to it's BBDA.
Also, you shouldn't have to relocate the spare tyre.

As my auto signature below suggests I'm an HR consultant with a special

companies to realise that investing a little $ can save them a lot of $$$$$
is not an easy task.
Which is why an MX5 is great for venting work frustrations caused by
close-minded prospects!!!
