If it runs like mine that's the day it will arrive at the Dealers!! Funny, right now i'm quite 'non-plused' about it! Rang Goodyear North Lakes and they will have my FULL SIZE 17 x 7 alloy and 215-45-17 tyre ready to collect as I head home tomorrow - they will do a 'dummy' fit just to make sure all is OK. Brand new alloy and brand new tyre, so I'm happy!

Okay, thank you time!!

HUGE thanks to Brad & the Staff at John O'Brien Toyota, Gatton Q for their care and attention - what a great bunch of people!Also thanks to Jade at O'Brien Toyota St George Q who steered me to Brad when I was ringing around back in October. Thanks also to Alan, Stu & Ross [MX5 Club Queensland] for assisting with the logistics and their offers to get me to the Dealers, 134km from my home. Thanks also the Garry & Staff at Goodyear North Lakes for sourcing the alloy and tyre [all new] at such a fantastic price!!

Thanks also to Jason from Wide Bay Toyota in Hervey Bay for the offer of a black GT MT back in October, I declined but had it sold to 'Cuddefred' within ONE minute of posting details here!

Lastly, thanks to EVERYONE on this website for the friendship and support provided while we have anxiously awaited our 'babies' to arrive!!

Cuddie!! we gotta catch up mate!!

Congrats mate - looks great. Sounds good buddy. Just in the recovery phrase from my surgery which wasn't done as initally hoped/planned. The good news with that is that the result has still been better than expected and I did not have to pay for an artificial disc for my spine so I have no need to sell my car and it is here to stay

Give me a couple of weeks and I will head up your way for a coffee and get together.

That is a gorgeous horse-less carriage mate. Looks like the wait was worth it. Enjoy!

I sure will!! I emailed those pics from my I-Phone in 'small' maybe I should have done that in a larger size!!

Sitting in the garage now next to my '89 NA, so far the OLDEST 'Eunos Roadster' in Australia!! There is a spreadsheet you can access to find the month and year of build!

Not long for yours now mate

Thanks, also to 'The Demons'!! Funny!! The alarm went off at 4.00am as usual, I just hit it a feww times and slept to 5.00am!!

Finally got away, filled the MX5 then headed for a coffee, no big rush! Nice run down over the Pine Rivers Bridge then up thru Bardon and out Centenary Highway to the Motorway and all good! Enjoyed the drive out immensly, but I enjoyed the drive back even more!! Clutch feels a little light, stalled it a couple of times, went for the key to start - NO KEY!! Sorted the climate control out, changed radio stations and even made a phone call!!

MM - Infinity 17x 7 alloy plus Goodyear multi-direction tyre - $340! Makes a cheap spare and stuff the goo! Not sure if you have something organised or not

Lovin' it!! Will drive it back to Gatton Saturday to collect the MX5 and then if the weather is OK call into Lakeside and check out the 'Time Attack' meeting, last Friday week 4 x 86's ran 'Time Attack' at QR

Thanks again guys, it's people like you that made the journey that little bit easier!!

I'm not giving this website away, I will try and assist those who have waited so long to get what they want or close to, they CAN be located!!
