On Sunday, the SE members of the MX5 Owners Club held a run from Hop Farm to Camber Sands via the Maidstone services. Up at 7, gave the car a quick wash, and toped up the petrol. We went to meet everyone at Maidstone services; we were a bit early, but we met some new members, Carol and Adrian. They have an L-Reg Eunos in red, very similar to Hugo. Theirs had the manual gearbox, a spoiler on the boot lid, and the all-important wind blocker!
When the convoy arrived from Hop Farm, we had a few minutes together to catch up with everyone, and grab a cold drink. The weather was amazing; we all had the top down and sunscreen use was liberal!

We left for Camber Sands, and enjoyed a nice drive down the motorway. We were in the middle of a convoy of about 9 cars, and everyone in the group was very courteous and we never went over 65mph – very relaxed, and we got a lot of thumbs up from admirers – mostly people wishing they could put their hood down, I imagine!
We arrived at the beach, parked up amongst other 5’s, and headed to the sand. What a perfect day.
We ended up staying with Rob and Louise until nearly 6pm; we had a good time chatting and discussing all things Mazda.
We went our separate ways; the drive back to London was fresh, fast, traffic free, and took us down some beautiful roads. Really made us question our decision to live in the city! All in all, it was a great day out, and Hugo got to breathe a bit, so he was happy!
