Hi there,

After years yearning after an MX5 I have finally bought one! I am the proud owner of a 2013 2.0 MX5 in Dolphin Grey.

Loving her already and I still haven't driven her with the top up!!

I'm bound to have lots of questions I hope you can help with but there is one thing that I've thought of... I know that the series 3 cars don't have a spare wheel, but what tools etc should I have? I have the battery powered compressor and bottle of puncture repair sealant but that is it. No jack, no wheel spanner, no towing eye...

Is this correct or am I missing something?

Hopefully the photo attached will be visible!

Thanks for reading this - sooo excited about being an MX5 driver!

Suzy.

Welcome to the forum

Looks good!

Top Down is the only way to go - unless it's hammering down, then having it up is acceptable unless you can drive fast enough that it goes over the top

lol

Snow is a slight PITA, though, as it loops back into the cabin from behind the seats due to the lower air pressure (AIUI)

lol

Pics aren't working because your site with them has no SSL (it should read https://, not http://) and the forum, being SSL won't allow source images without it.

Congrats on the new purchase of a what I'm sure will be a very rewarding car!
