Yeah, we handle basket cases like you, too! The FIAT was up on my list when I decided on the Datsun. It wins on looks - except that I think that the boot sticks out just a *little* too much - and app

I think your experience with different cars over the years helps explain this broader view. I started with Triumph TR-3's in the mid 70's, and feel lucky to still be alive after having a hood come u

Interesting comments about rust. Ny roadster was restored 5 years ago with a full body off re-build. The PO took lots of pictures of the work in progress, and after 25 years, I must say there was ver

For the record. I just bought a 72 Fiat 124 spyder, and my Datsun will be up for sale in the spring. Not that I prefer one over the other....but....the Fiat has a small backseat and I have three smal

FIAT - Feeble Italian Attempt at Technology For what it is worth, I like them too. X 1/9s are funky but handle GREAT. All that they need is a little more power and they are AWESOME autocross cars. Si

I was gonna stay lurking through this, since I don't own a Roadster, I have 5 Spridgets instead. First, FIAT is Failed Italian Automotive Technologies Second, I am 5'10" and when I drive a Miata, the

Have you driven a low-screen Datsun? Has anyone had this problem with the early cars? It's not something I ever thought of. Also, note that bodyshape can be different for different people. I know som

Don't give up on the miata for that reason alone. The M1 version has more legroom, and the seat can be "fixed" to allow more headroom and legroom. It involves cutting a thick extra part of foam out

So I was just sitting around a few days ago and thought, "what the list needs is another Miata thread.' Whew! I knew I married the right girl 20-odd years ago, but I had no idea she was a mind reader
