Getting back on the road

Few pics of my therapy session today

170km trip around maam, killary, kylemore, letterfrack and Clifden etc. It gets cold when you get up near the clouds

Out for another spin today, yesterday I put fuel in from Top oil,,,, have to edit the post here,,, i was pretty sure it was TOP but on the receipt it says EMO so I'll have to check again the next time i pass there,,,,, car doesn't run as well as it did on topaz/circleK.
A 360° view of one location, fabulous views of Galway bay in one direction and unfortunately in the other direction connemara's newest attractions, I suppose in time we'll just get used to them


A green mx5 passed just as i pulled up at the junction in Moycullen but couldn't get much of a look at it as by the time I got out onto the main road there were about 10 cars between us, was it anyone on here I wonder

Went to the shrule vintage show today, very nice red 92 there, was a project of John Paul Ryan's if I remember the name correctly, unfortunately no pictures taken because I left the phone at home, but it was done to a very high standard.
Put in half a tank of circleK and the car is back running sweetly now, must avoid using Top,, (edited again) or EMO,,,, anymore

Another trip today, this time I travelled through the inagh valley, road is a bit rough in places but still a fantastic drive as long as you avoid all the sheep on the road.
This time I came back through the maam valley, big difference driving in the other direction.




The poor fuel i got last time was Emo and not Top, i had to check as i passed the station on my way

You're getting in some nice runs in the car - I've been out n about in Stripey making the most of the days when it doesn't rain, however we don't have that xcenery here in the Midlands!

Just out of interest, and I thought it was just a weird notion that I had, but I've also noticed that the car runs better on Circle K fuel (and gets better mpg). ..... and I'm not in any way affiliated to the Circle K foundation!!!

Hi mrges, ya I usually use circleK with good results, there was a big difference in the way the car ran and the mpg was much poorer on the EMO fuel so I let it down to almost empty before I put in circle K, a few miles later and it was back to normal

On the 2nd week of holiday in Tenerife, so far I've seen a 2017 model mx5 last week and tonight a mk2 ish parked across the road from the villa, no great selection of cars here, 1 hummer, 1 lamborghini of some sort, a few sporty renaults etc and i think a camero and Land rover. Probably in the poorer area of the resort

On the way back from the pub i had a better look at the yank car, badge on the back says dodge, so its probably a challenger and not acamero

A beast of a machine!

I'm currently in Alicante airport after a week in Spain, and only spotted one MX5!

Hi mrges, I'd say mazda lost out to the fiat 124 on the continent, what i did see a good few of was the vw tiago convertibles
