    So around about the time phil died, my 04 MX-5 SE had the thermostat seize and the heads and head gasket were cooked. After 9 weeks in the shop, I got it back on Tuesday. I know what it's like to have to wait to be reunited with your beloved car, so a heartfelt congrats to getting Phil back!

    What a trip! Driving your own track day car till Nurburgring and then making a full throttle lap is the BEST way to broke an engine. I can feel, despite its leaking oil, Phill was happy. The Miata's smiling face fit perfectly to the situation.

      It's just a roll-up cigarette, the tax on tobacco is really high in UK so it's cheaper to roll your own. Besides it would be incredibly stupid, dangerous (and illegal) to be DUI whilst driving that vehicle, with four people and trailer on it.

The cost for all that? £75!
