Maybe you should make that three (unless you already know about my red '91).
Yes, I'm out of "the garage" with this one: I own a Miata too. I park it
next to my '63 B and my '67 E-type and I think it's a great car, almost as
much fun as the LBCs. Turns on a dime, stops on a dime, costs about a dime
to maintain (so far: 3+ years, 30+K miles). Some critics have valid points
to carp on: I won't argue about design cues from the Elan; or about
reactions (from some) of a lack of personality; or about British Leyland
dropping the ball back in the 70's; or about Mazda picking it back up either
in the 80's (and I WON'T argue about the Mercury Capri either!). No, it
won't set any land speed records but neither will most of our collective
LBCs, and so what!; I'm not in that much of a hurry anyway. :-)
