Your MX-5s in the recent snow event

Timing is everything, they say. Sometimes perfect timing is the result of good judgement and experience, but it can also be the result of sheer luck.

Unfortunately, I think we fit into the latter category. No sooner had we posted a story about tips for driving your MX-5 in winter, than did it start to snow. And boy, did it snow. For us in London and the South it was more of a mild amusement than anything else, but for those members located in the Midlands and the North it turned into a proper hazard.

However, it got us thinking – surely, we must have had members out driving in the snow, so why not put the call out for your pictures? As if to prove our point that MX-5s can make ideal winter cars, we provide you with the highlights supplied to us, grouped by type:

Mk 1:

Blue skies and crisp winter air…. perfect.

‘No officer, I was just finding somewhere to park…’

Okay, so it’s not always top-down weather…

An MX-5 buddy and some wintery roads – what could be better?

 

Mk 2:

 

Mk 3:

Mk 4:

And finally, we can’t work out what these ones are. Can you?

 

Thanks to all the club members for supply these photos. Happy winter driving!
