				Ok lads - for the 2nd time in my life I now have to sell my beloved mx5 - have been having continuous probs with my back for the last 6 months which is taking away from the enjoyment of driving this fab car
It has 99k kms on the clock and is in near showroom condition - blue mohair roof - hart lightweight racing wheels - bluetooth cd and a few minor lighting mods - otherwise standard 10ae spec - pics in gallery under spideogs 10ae - looking for €4500 but open to realistic offers
Have to replace it with something higher off the ground but with a bit of fun to drive? ???

				Sorry to hear it Spideog, hope your back improves (I feel your pain, was off work for several weeks with mine last month) and you are back in a '5 soon!
Hopefully some of those looking for one here recently will have a look, they'd be v.lucky to have it.

				Robin,
Sorry to hear you've decided to sell the car, she really is a fine specimen. Anyone would be proud to have her. Best of luck with the sale and do keep in touch with us here. A friend of mine with back pain issues has purchased a suzuki vitara and he says that it is much easier to get in and out of than a standard vehicle...that may be the way to go!

				Ah Robin, I am so sad you are leaving us!
I would love to have the spare cash to pick this up myself, much as I love my baby.. I've always loved your car! 
Anyone considering a buy .. this is extra special and has been very much loved by Robin, you'd be lucky to have it.
All the best with the back Robin, and hopefully we'll bump into you every now and then.
take care
Shena

				Congratulations on the sale Robin, Your car was quality, I'm not surprised that you sold it in such a short time.You will keep in touch? ,  and you can always turn up at events as the official "support vehicle"...whatever that turns out to be

				Best of luck Robin, hopefully we see you again in a 5 when the back allows it.
The new owner got a well looked after car and perhaps will join up with us. 
 
 Regards John.

				Hi Robin,
Soooooooo sorry to hear that you've parted with your blue beauty. Lucky Scott - he's found himself one really well looked after 5.
Best of luck with your search for a new vehicle but whatever you find I bet it won't be as much fun  
 
 Tom
