Brenda and I brought home a 1999 Miata last weekend. It's 10th Anniversary Edition #4159. It had only 1 meticulous owner from 8 miles on the odometer. In addition to a cosmetically near perfect car I got all the service records and enough spares to fill the back of our CR-V. The car ran great on a test drive and then scampered happily 240 miles to its new home. This week I've been hip-deep in Miata forums and in and under the car changing fluids and making notes for projects. For the time being there is no new motorcycle in my forebrain, just all things Miata.
Driving it takes me back 40 years to a time when an MGC was my daily driver and it's something we can do together as Brenda doesn't ride pillion. I expect the Mazda to be more reliable and keep it's fluids in the proper places, unlike how the MG performed this basic function . This car has a ST1300 and ST-Owners connection through the previous owner and a ST1300 buddy who have worked together a number of years so it was kind of neat how the car came into my sphere through a motorcycle riding friendship.
