[Fot] miata delima... NOT TRIUMPH RELATED !!!!

[Jim Norlin]

We're on our third Miata.  The latest is a 2005 Mazdaspeed with factory 
turbo and all the good stuff except for cruise  control.  It's an 
incredible car on twisty two lane roads - horrid on the interstates.  
Gonna put a Triumph sticker on it so we can take it on the local Triumph 
club tour since the Spit is not street legal.
