They're called the MX-5 here and seem to be mostly owned by middle-aged women. They are the MX-5 everyplace, called the Miata in the States, the Eunos most other places. I've been playing around with British Sports Cars for close to 35 years, racing and such for about 25 years. In this area, Miatas are considered girls cars. Let me tell you, after decades of hanging out with car oriented groups that are almost devoid of women, I *love* driving a car that has a strong feminine demographic, and having an excuse to chat up that cute girl getting gas for her sports car.

Re: GESO, new toy
I know, I know. I think North America was the only place they were called Miatas. Everywhere else they were always MX-5s (which latest gens are now called here). And first generation Miatas were called girl cars here. Pretty cramped for the average North American male and underpowered they were derided by power-hungry macho types. Otoh Road Track said it had perfectly balanced power and handling with the best shifter ever on a road car. Don't care what anyone else said, it was the Japanese perfecting the classic British sports car.

Pretty cramped for the average North American male and underpowered they were derided by power-hungry macho types. Not terribly cramped. The trick is to take a bit of the foam out of the seat cushion to lower you in the seat. As to underpowered, my MGB with a supercharger on it, boosting it's power by 50-60% has about the horsepower of a 1600 miata with no catalytic converter. Otoh Road Track said it had perfectly balanced power and handling with the best shifter ever on a road car. Don't care what anyone else said, it was the Japanese perfecting the classic British sports car. At some point I realized that if I did everything I wanted to my MGB, I'd pretty much end up with a Miata. I still want to get my MGB back on the road. Though what I really want is a Sprite with the horsepower of a miata. Though I'd settle for a Lotus Elan or Elise.

GESO, new toy
The pictures are crap, but the subject of them has been bringing me smiles since I got it last night: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157637291417553/ My neighbor's daughter bought it, and it was immaculate. Six days later she put it up on it's side. I sold them a couple doors to get it back on the road. She invested in hard top, roll bar, soft top with glass window, wheels, tires, brakes ... My neighbor called me about a week ago asking if I knew anybody that would be interested in it for $2900. If it hadn't been wrecked it would be worth twice that. Now we need to sell the beat up honda civic while it will still pass smog. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
