    I was filming in a car park for the local doctor's office, and the nearby resident just didn't like that. I thought you guys would find it interesting to see how it can be a little difficult to film out in public sometimes...

      Yeah, I assume it’s a public car park. Had it been private land, I would be more understanding. I think it’s very, very rude to try and shoo someone off of a public space, especially when they’re not disturbing the peace.

    Trip down memory lane for me. I owned a Mk 2 1.8i MX-5 for 15 years. Only had to get rid of it because the family size grew past the number of seats. I didn’t mod the car at all, but I absolutely loved it. You’re right about the tendency to rust though… mine was starting to show rust all over the place by the end. Checked it on DVLA the other day, it’s still out there more than a decade after I sold it, so the rust was clearly sortable…

      Yup, my friend's car was keyed by an older lady. She didn't like that the car was parked in front of her windows even though it's perfectly legal to park there. I bet she was pissed when she had to pay for painting the car (thank you dashcams!).

    My stepdad was so sad when he sold his 1999 MX-5. It even had a chrome luggage rack on the back and a nice wooden steering wheel, plus it was painted racing green!
    Unfortunately he only drove it a handful of times a year, so it cost way too much in insurance and maintenance for those few hours of fun.
    I drove it several times and enjoyed it massively. The thing basically had the same power of a BMW 316i but weighed 500 kg less! That combined with the low ride-height and the tiny shifter made it feel like a go kart. So much fun! They don't make cars like this anymore.
