Finding more photos MX5 and others
Going through a box of photos from 1995 through to around 2004, mainly family, houses and holidays ..
In among them are photos from
- MX5 Track Day at Pukekohe in 2004 that I competed in - entered [ probably the more correct word as not competing ]
- NZ Targa Rally 2003 - taken out near Ardmore / Alfriston area -must try to read the Road Signs.
- 3 more from " Whenuapai Wings and Wheels " around 1999 - 2000
- 1;18 scale Mazda MX5 - Eunos Roadster - V-Special in Neo ( BRG ) Green that was given to me on my 50th Birthday in September 1997.
A bit of scanning and sorting to do.
Just noticed the view 19947 .. if you go 19/9/47 - that is me - an Omen or ?? , that is where the usual edit of ### 47 come from !

quality of the photos not good - think the camera either had a bad battery or the lenses were very dirty - according to the Photo processors - camera stopped getting used shortly after.
This is the only photo of UN7284 on track - taken by Nigel Every - who I worked with as well as were both in the NZ MX5 Club at the time. [ posted before but relates to this post ]

Mazda MX5, Maxda Miata, Eunos Roadster SMALL,
Photos from the archives - 1997 when I was given this model a 1;18 Scale Kyosho Model - complete with Hardtop.
My real car purchased in 1996 - had to wait almost 12 months to get a Hardtop and it was Black.

UN7284 1991 V-Spec Eunos Roadster .. now fixed ..
Yep the MX5 is going, with the repair done and a warrant - just - a couple of things to do before the next one is due.
Driving OK, but because we got a bit of water in the fuel fluffs a bit - mechanic says maybe use some 98 Octane and add some injector cleaner - so will do that - Just waiting for the Bill $$$.
It will be at Caffeine and Classics at Smales on 28th June.
Understand that ERC Ray Green , Geebeez Graeme Banks, and a couple of others will be there too
Thanks again Kevin for your offer, may take you up on some further work in the future - hope to see you at C and C too !!, and Andy Thorp too !!.
Cheers
and a photo - this is before - has new Spark Plug Leads that i haven't looked at yet - maybe not BLUE

Caffeine and Classics June 2020 A95 and MX5, plus ERC and Geebeez are coming too !
Kevin,
Re " also Roger put some meths in tank as it absorbs water which then mixes in with petrol "
Was told that, by the Mechanic they drained the old fuel but didn't remove and flush the tank [ too long a job ] it is running better and I have some Meths in Auckland where the car is so will do so
See you there will be great to see the A95 - will have camera in hand
Cheers
Roger
So You, me, Ray Green, Graeme Banks should all be there !!
