Bye Guys (and Girls, AngieM) Respectful Goodbye!

nb67 · Post by **nb67** » Sat Jun 25, 2016 7:49 am

Well, I've only just seen the 'I hate you all' goodbye thread from Simo so I thought I'd counter act that one with my goodbye (kind of, as I'll still browse the threads), for now!!

Firstly, a cracking forum with very very helpful forum members old and new with lots of friendly and witty banter to boot.

No qualms from me as I depart.

Reason - I was after a 35is after selling the 3.0 E85 a couple of weeks ago but I've found that buying at this time of year is a bad move for a 'rare' and kind of sort after roadster. The nice ones are over priced imo.

I could've bought a 30i/35i but I would've regretted it immediately as it was a 35is I wanted.

So, after a lot of soul searching and weighing up the pro's n cons for the next purchase and the fact that my wife didn't like driving the E85 (she loved the look but never got on with it behind the wheel, manual gearbox didn't help her) we are today picking up a 16 plate Mazda MX5, 2.0 Sport Nav in Soul Red.

The MX5 will get used more than the Z4 as my wife will now use it daily/when the sun shines etc....

So, thank you ALL for making this forum a friendly and informative one. I for one have nothing but kind words to leave you all with.

You don't have to leave the forum just because you've sold the car - stick around and join in the fun

Oh come on - at least do it properly.

That's not a "goodbye"

You haven't deleted a single post!

Cheerio Neil. Pleasure to have met you. Shame you couldn't find what you were after. There is one out there with your name on it though.

You're welcome to pop round anytime for coffee n natter. Oh and to take a gander at your new motor.
Cheers Jak.

If we left PVR stay, there is no reason why you can't.

Pics and review of the MX5 are a must

Is it the last of the old model (coupe hardtop) or the latest reincarnation?

MX5 ?
Good job you walked before you were pushed...

Just kidding - they are great sports cars, very different to Zeds. Enjoy and do hope as others have expressed you stick around and tell us how the car turns out.

A sad nbexit announcement but I have to admit that I've eyed up the new MX5 which is a much more purposeful package, if I used my roadster as a daily the MX5 would be high on my list. Stick around and let us have some pics and a review when you've lived with the MX for a bit
