Scary to think if the dollar still had any value, eh? Thanks for jumping in
Bruno, I couldn't remember what country you were in. I will google your
exact location! Bruno, it would literally make you sick to see how cheap 2nd
hand miatas sell for here. Since they're bulletproof, wouldn't that be a
great business venture to go thru and freshen old miata's for export to
countries like yours? Maybe I'm missing the point, I guess your taxman would
still be the big winner, eh?

Thanks man,

Finally Mr. Non-Hostile-Thread himself jumps in and takes TX into a 4 way
tie with 3 responding so far. Glad you're still here Pat (that's RAMM and
TX)!

I thought I saw it too! Very cool. Sorry, got sidetracked at the Nurburgring

After further review (reply posts), .......... drum roll please
............TX scores 4 (actually this was a p.m. and from my own sweet city
of Sugar Land). But, not to be out done, one of those easterners had to jump
up to 4 also, PA, tied with TX for the moment.

Later, signing off for now,

Pretty country! That's another one on my list to visit.

My Miata can actually be seen (!) at 40 38'23.19"N, 75 24'8.74"W in
Google Earth.

I think it's the '90 though, not the '04 I have now. And it appears
to be top down as well! <g>

You might be. Haven't ever seen two Miatae in a driveway, though -- two original
GT-40s, yes, but not two Miatae. 8

Might even have bumped into you at an MWCSCC autocross or a Miata day at Summit
Point. Who knows? 8

We're over by Braddock Road Metro station, on the edge of Old Town. License
plate is SNGL MLT, but it doesn't spend much time on the road. Going to turn 40K
original miles this weekend -- pretty low for a '95, I guess.
