Joe Cott Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Greetings folks After 15 years of owning MX5s I have finally decided to sell the 5 & also my wife's Kia picanto shopping trolley then buy the A3. That was 3 days ago so only had one good run, down to Avebury to see the solstice in & we are so happy with the car. It's a 2008 2.0 TDi auto cabriolet; at least I think that's how it's described I have, over the years, been very involved with all things MX5 so I hope to do the same on this Audi forum in future. ps; can someone tell me what tags are ?

Trevor Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Great looking car Joe...just the weather to enjoy it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cott Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Thank you Trevor; I have to say that after 15 yrs of driving MX5s it is a huge pleasure owning htis Audi which is actually quicker . just have to get used to front drive again.. getting out is a damned sight easier as well for both of us (creaky 70 yrs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I have a mk1 MX5 (1991) and it is a superb little car which I have recently started to really appreciate (probably due to the good weather) but as you say they're a bit difficult to extract yourself from, especially after a long drive.

Joe Cott Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 nice one. I had a very early G reg Eunos for nearly 10 yrs. loved it; http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/pappadamjoe/ sorry to bore you but not quite over 5 driving yet so good to talk about them a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 superb piccys...you did quite a lot of work to the Eunos then? Mine is also a Eunos and quite honestly for £250 it is the best fun I have had in a car since the early 80's....drives like a go-cart and is bulletproof :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a 4-2-1 manifold, induction kit, de-cat, BIG LOUD exhaust, some suspension stuff. Huge smiles & fun but then you know all about that huh? Always had very loud mx5s but I don't reckon a deisel sounds good with an almost open exhaust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
