[Roadsters] X-Country

[Richard Brown]

Peter,

I apologize for hijacking your message.  Driving a roadster cross country is 
great fun.  It sounds like you had a great trip and I'm sure met some great 
people.  Almost every stop for gas or rest break results in a conversation 
about the car with someone.  I envy your Miata seats. With the aid of a 
small pillow the roadster seats aren't to bad.  I am sorry I wasn't in the 
area or I would have driven down for your visit with Brad & Gayle in 
Montgomery.

What gas mileage did you get?  How did the heater work?

Come on out for The Mitty at Road Atlanta the end of April.  We will swap 
some stories.

Richard Brown
