I've had the great pleasure and privilege of getting to lay down both tire and sneaker rubber on the Nordschleife:


Nice...did you run the marathon as well?

I was sitting having my breakfast yesterday when I received a texts from good friend of mine who owns a Honda garage, "Nice car on the forecourt.......quite a nice day too! Intrigued I popped along and was given the keys and told to take it away for a spin. He himself had not even driven it at this point. When I saw what it was, I couldn't refuse.



Ooooo it was fun!

Lovely little MX5. Manual, hopefully? They're only sold in auto over here in this part of the world.

Spent a day in the company of Porsche's GT3 and GT4. Absolutely splendid day. I'm a big fan of the 911, but in this company, I have to say I preferred the GT4 over the GT3 bigger brother.

Yes, and the gearbox is one of the best parts of the car.

It seems odd that they only sell the auto. Is the market for manuals extremely small where you are? I think here it is under 10% but for the MX5 it is closer to 50/50.
