Question Mazda MX5 mini-meet?

Picture the scene ...

Bank Hol Monday .... lovely hot day ... two MCBs already in the pub carpark waiting for San to trundle along to make up a threesome (some lame excuse about being on call!! )
As he pulls into the carpark the numbnuts on the table behind are heard to say ....

"What's this then .... a Mazda MX5 convention? ... ha ha.... guffaw guffaw"

I was outside cleaning & waxing the S the other day when two kids, about 9/10ish, sailed past on their BMX's and one loudly exclaimed to the other

"Wow! Cool! A Honda Civic".

He wasn't being sarcastic either...

That's one thing i hate, people who are wrong being smug in their opinion.

Now he may have been sarcastic about the MX5 thing, but I reckon ill informed and if this was anywhere near the fens then probably in bred too.

Bloody was too, you cheeky cherub!
Glad I chose ENT as a career though....not many other specialties I could go out to the pub!

As for those numbnuts, they WERE from Colchester.

I'm not sure what the official designation for red is these days, but it certainly started out as Ascari Red. It was only NFR in the US. So, the kid was right on at least one interpretation!
