    Default New here as well... 1st time Miata owner.

    Hello all, I bought my 07' True Red GT this past Dec. to become my fair weather daily driver.... I needed a fun car and fun appears to be an understatement with this car. I had a 67' Sunbeam Alpine in the 70's and a 00' S2000 as my last sports car... the MX-5 while having much more body roll than my S... has a much better ride as a daily driver.


    07' PRHT GT, PP2, SP, 6CD and VooDoo.

    Welcome.

    I bet the Sunbeam was pretty cool. I used to want a Sunbeam Tiger for a while. Did they have to go with the name "Sunbeam", though?

    BTW, that was my first use of the icon.

    Did anyone tell you that threads often drift on this board?
