Snow Time


20/25cm of soft snow, where no one in the street, stock tires at 60% Yokohama Advan A11...
Evening after a workday.
Stay at home?

No! It's fun time...




The day after: an Icy Rain over a Smart...

Front License Plate Relocation


In Italy the front license plate is smaller than other European countries, so on MX5 we have a big black surf board with license plate on.


Take down the bumper for planning a new license plate location...


I want to remove the black surf board, but on the front bumper there are 10 holes, doh!




At the end, i decide to screw the license on the bumper.
I cover 8 holes with the licence plate, but 2 remain visible.
IMHO now is looking better than with the black surf board, also if this 2 fu..in holes remain visible.
2 holes more on the bumper, better cooling :-)

Varano - Track Day


Some pics of a special day on Track. Today i have had my first lap ever on track and now i feeeeel very good! With friends of MX5 Italia i drive on track for a short time, but i learn the behaviour on track and now i have a better feeling with my car.
The response of this Track Day is: I need a new set of Shocks or Coilover and harder Sway Bar.
The car seems to have a lot of understeer...
I was the only one with a "SUV like" suspension setup... The tallest and softest MX5, Doh!
I'm looking around for a new suspension setup. Tein Superstreet or Koni + Eibach? That's the problem...






With my Girlfriend, she loves racing too! :-)

Oh my God, stock suspensions is so soooooooooft...




Cats VS MX5


Two or three times in a month, i see the cat of my neighbours, sleeping on the Soft Top of my MX5. When the cat goes on my MX5, the bonnet is full of muddy cat track and the Soft Top is full cat hair...
No problem for these two things, i love cats, i have had one for 16 years, but one day this cat piss over my trunk...

I know it seems comic but, fuck! that's the result, a white stain over my trunk: O_O
