…. has arrived in the form of a 2.0 GT package, the only 2.0 version available in Europe, all others are 1.5 liter engines. Contrary to the previous version this sits a bit more comfortable and less sporty, the previous one was a Sport package with Recaro seats in it, These bucket seats made getting in and out a bit harder compared to this one with standard seats. Makes it a bit easier on myself, I do get older as well.

This is the first car I owned with LED lights, noticed that with the type of weather on this picture the lights tend to dim during the ride as the snow doesn’t melt off properly like it did with halogen or normal lights. The picture was taken directly after a 40km ride with light snow, so not even too bad that time.

Yes, back to what I used to drive for about 13 years before the Honda. The latter started to act up in the breaking department and after a few repeats that made the perfect excuse to exchange it for something that puts a smile on your face every time you drive it. Picked it up a few weeks ago, had to get used to get in and out of the car as you sit very low in it, noticed the same thing with about everybody who sat in the car when getting out. So from now on at any given sunny day I will not be looking up to a roof that cannot open any longer which I’ve been doing for the last four years……… Will be interesting to see how this one behaves in winter weather (snow), the previous MX-5 held up better than the Honda Accord did, I tend to think this one will do as well. Lets see how long this one will be with me, it is one year older compared to the previous one, so 12 years? I’ll be 54 by then, somehow I doubt it.
