I've thought about taking my CBT a few times, I love the idea. Maybe with Coronavirus lurking I should just grow a pair and get on with it.
I've been there/done that but changing priorities (a 9 month old in particular) means it's a risk I'm not prepared to take at the moment. It's not me coming off I'd worry about, it's drivers pulling out or making a right turn when oncoming without seeing me

I used to think that they were for tweedy, beardy old farts trying to be a bit Gung-ho .......BUT ,I find myself curiously and increasingly drawn to a Morgan with a thumping V8 .
.........strokes beard ,fills pipe.................oh.hang on
I had recently sold my motorbike and my car lease was up so I thought I'd get an MX5 for a laugh. It was my daily driver. The only thing that went wrong on it was the thermostat stuck, symptom being that it wouldn't hold temperature. That was more expensive than you might expect but not ridiculous.
Otherwise a really fun car. I wanted a cloth top Sport so I had to go for an earlier car.
Not that fast, given how thirsty they are, less refined than you might expect, they need a suspension modification even if you get the Sport on the better Bilstein dampers. (Ride height).
But the steering is lovely, they're ridiculously chuckable.
Watch out for colour deviation on bumpers! Mazda weren't great at painting small parts.
I really enjoyed mine and put nearly twenty thousand very cheap miles on it.
minimal running costs are a plus, as is reliability.
Being a Sport Tech Nav, it has all the goodies too
You can fit a cased Les Paul in the boot of the Mk3: I doubt you can in the Mk4.
The cabin feels largest of all the variants
The biggest plus of the mx5 though, is that it’s fun at legal speeds.
There's a couple of reasonable examples of both nearby, a couple of MX-5s, both 1.8s with about 80,000 miles on them and allegedly no significant rust, a late MR2 that a private seller is looking too much for and a dealer one with an aftermarket leather interior, or a TT coupe in 1.8 quattro manual guise. The seller says it's a 240 but I'm pretty certain it's a 225 (not sure if there's an easy way to tell just looking at it?).
What should I be looking for if I take a closer look?
I already know about the mk 1 TT dash pod issues, and one of the cars looks to have the problem so if nothing else a starting place to get the price reduced by the £200 it takes to get the unit repaired..
Prior to coming over to NI from England it had passed all MOTs with not so much as an advisory and the seller states it's been garaged since.
None of this guarantees it won't be rusted to death when I go to see it, but it sounds promising.
If it's not rusty then chances are I'll buy it and treat it to some Dinitrol wax to the sills and underbody if not already done
