Emily and Ian
Hello, we are Emily
Sanderson (age 14) and her dad, Ian (a little older). We
bought our Silver1993 1.6 Eunos Roadster in January this
year (2007). We are lucky enough to live in the peak
district with mum, Ruth, and older sister, Alice. We
previously had a Triumph Herald 13/60 convertible, but it
had become impractical to do the 46 mile round trip to work
on a regular basis. So we decided to go for a more modern
(only 13 years old) alternative.
Ian’s love of open top
motoring started in 1980 when he bought a 17-year-old MGB
roadster. This was followed by a Herald based kit car and
the herald convertible, with some sensible cars in between.
We were members of the Derwent Valley area of the Triumph
Sports Six Club and regularly attended the monthly meetings
and did several runs including the “Peak Run” weekend in
June 2006.
We now attend the monthly
meetings of the Peaks and Pennines area of the MX5 OC. We
have been made most welcome by the existing members and look
forward to making a contribution in the future. We have
joined a couple of the main monthly Sunday runs which have
been excellent as they combined some good cross country
driving with interesting places to visit as the end point.
We also attended the Spring Rally at Beamish, along with
other PP members. This was an excellent weekend and if this
is indicative of MX5 OC events we would heartily recommend
anyone to give them a go.
We have included a few
photos, which give a flavour of the daily commute to work.
This route is always a pleasure to drive on, even more so in
the Eunos. We are looking forward to many more fun miles
with our new friends. |
