Ya, she knows you as my crazy buddy from Austin. Most of my friends are
known by a similar prefix ......... hmmmmm.

No details though, eh? ;-)

Interesting. I have an MX5 NC and thought the clunk was the brake
calipers shifting after having the car sit for a while. It does it
when I drive away (after backing out of the garage) but, from memory,
I only notice it on the first drive of a day. I will pay more
attention to it. I suppose it could be the trunk/boot lock engaging.
It has done it since the car was new three years ago. The car is
driven about once a week so the brake rotors get plenty of time to
form a slight layer of rust between uses. Regardless, I don't think
this is anything that needs to be "fixed".

Hi Jeroen -- yes, I have found out what it is.
I've been informed that it is the ABS activating, which
then remains active until the engine is switched off again.

Where does the sound come from? I would like to add this info into a small
article for our MX5 Magazine...

I guess it must be comeing from behind the dashboard - sounds like a relay
energizing.
