Title: ST replacement/companion
Post by: curious1 on July 12, 2016, 05:50:06 PM
I had enough of the cold, wet. I came to Australia from Europe for sunshine and more sunshine and now the bad, bad weather followed me. With some delay but now it got me.
So therefore I had to react and get some suitable vehicle to improve my travel enjoyment. Nothing on 2 wheels which I did not have already was suitable. 3 wheels are a gimmig that left me with the only choice of 4 wheels. MX5 or 86. That what it boiled down. Drove both at an extended test drive and settled on the 86. Guess what. Since I got the car the weather is getting even worse but the enjoyment is not diminished. Heater works fine and so is the music. I could even pick up a hitch hiker if suitably presented.
I will ride the ST on only perfect days to fully appreciate her. Now with less use she will last me for ever.

Strewth- you moved to Canberra for better weather.   :eek

Mate, you should have asked!!  Get up here to Queensland while you still can.  At least when it rains it stays well above freezing.
