Isn't that another fantastic thing about the MX5, go thrashing around roads all night, and still use bugger all gas.

Not always true

On a different note, anyone entering the Cannonball Run?

I was thinking about it, but can't justify the money involved at such short notice, can't get any friends to commit either. So much more fun with someone you know in the event too.

I did the 2010 Snowball Run with my brother in his VR6 Golf, lots of fun apart from wearing the uncomfortable costumes the whole time.

Well, mine wasn't as bad as the WRX driving like that. But certainly does need a bit of a tune cos I think I can do better as far as mileage goes.

I used less than half a tank though!

Worth every drop though, I'm still buzzing about that drive, lol.

It's funny, I managed better mileage thrashing it on the open road than daily drive nanaing it

Oh, that was even better for me right at the back. Cloud of dust and the smell of brakes PLUS the smell of a rich turbocharged MX-5 plus a bit of oil

Yeah I need some new pads and rotors my brakes locked up and I sorta just slid alittle haha

Nothing like the smell of turbo on over run! Lol. And yeah Kieran I took a bloody deep breath of tyre smoke there, it was certainly one of the more amusing parts of the night

Ahhh, yeah, i heard that lock up and saw you coming!!!

Fortunately you had it under control but i was ready to move out the way in case

That fuel smell was likely my car, it's economy is terrible and i think it broke my down pipe again.....something is wrong with the idle and partial throttle opening.

BUT it was a great drive!

I need new rear pads now....bloody hell!
