What our members say...

We joined the MX-5 club in Taranaki in 2004 after purchasing our NB in December 2003. We rejoined the Bay of Plenty club in 2005/6. Purchased a ND 2 after 14 years. We vave met some awesome people and made friends for life. We have travelled to places & on roads we would never have if we didn't have our M-X5. The monthly runs & dinners are great. We enjoy getting to meet new people and catch up with other branches on the weekends away.

Bay of Plenty

Mary and I joined the MX-5 club for two reasons really, was to meet other people who had something in common with us, which of course is having a Mazda MX-5 car, they are a special little car, and you learn that quickly once you have the opportunity to drive one. The other reason was also about the people I guess, because it's good to talk to others about the car and swap or listen to thoughts and ideas and experiences concerning MX-5's.

Bay of Plenty

 love my MX-5 and getting out and about in it. Being able to share the experience with like-minded people and seeing new places I wouldn't normally go to is a real highlight for me that I get from being part of the club. Everyone is most welcoming, no matter the age and stage of your car.

Alan & Yve

I am very fortunate to own a couple of MX-5's and whilst regrettably I'm not always able to attend a lot of events I'm always made to feel very welcome when I do.  Members are so friendly and always willing to share their knowledge aswell as being exposed to a huge array of MX-5 information through the club is invaluable.

I always come away knowing a little bit more about my cars.  The runs are always well organised, it's a fun and not an expensive day out.  A real bonus for me is its nearly always back roads we take or a place I haven't been before so I get to see different parts of our beautiful country and travel roads I never knew existed in style.

The MX-5 Club is really becoming like a family to us, and that camaraderie with our fellow members is down to ethos of the committee team and Leadership.

We had a fabulous time at the National event too! We have gained a whole range of insights into how to make our already wonderful MX-5 even better. Thankyou!

Paul & Helen
