This is actually my fourth Miata/Eunos/Mx-5, but my first NB, the others were all NAs. They have a reputation here of being a “woman’s car”. I’m fine with them being popular with women, particularly attractive women that I might want an opportunity to chat with. In the motorsports community there is a saying “the answer is always miata”. They are fun to drive, get decent gas mileage and are just a little bit more reliable than an anvil. The best racing I have ever seen is in a class called Spec Miata. In the last race I did with the SCCA, I qualified mid grid, a friend was gridded directly in front of me with a qualifying time .030 seconds faster than mine, the guy next to me was .030 slower. So, on a 3 mile (5km) track, about .060 seconds which works out to about 10ft (3m) separated the qualifying times of four cars, or two rows of the grid. -- Larry Colen [email protected] -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
