Thread: New NC east of Plano/Richardson

  1. #1

    Default New NC east of Plano/Richardson

    I sold my car, and sold my bike, and finally bought a MX-5! I live in Murphy, smack dab in the middle of Plano, Richardson, Garland, Sachse, Wiley, and Parker.

    My wife and I are "empty-nesters" and live to work - me at Southwest Airlines, she in sales and officing in our home. This is my/our first convertible sportscar, but I grew up in the car business - my dad was a Porsche+Audi & Mazda dealer in OKC many moons ago.

    Would love to meet other like-minded Miataphiles in my area - lemme know where you are!

    Welcome to the fold! If the weather's good Wednesday night we meet in a parking lot at the NE corner of Coit and Park in Plano. Watch the "Events" section of the board for updates...

    I think you'd be the only NC out there!

    Welcome! Whereabouts are you in Murphy? I live in Daniel Crossing, right across the street from Kimbrough stadium. If you see a dirty green RX-8 with a loud exhaust - gimme a wave.

    I'm south of Renner and east of Murphy Road in Murphy Farms. We looked up there in Daniel's Crossing when we bought our house 4-1/2 years ago. I've used the parking lot at Kimbrough to "test" suspension changes in my Jetta and on my motorcycle! I'm sure I'll do the same with the MX-5 until the police run me off.

    Thanks, guys. It's Marble White w/black top & black cloth, and is still awaiting some dealer-installed options (full Mazdaspeed suspension w/Koni adjustables, appearance package, Enkei RPF1/Goodyear F1 GS-D3s). So, for now, I have the dreaded "wheelwell gap syndrome" to deal with. That being said, I've never driven a better "stock" vehicle for just having fun!

    Count on me going to the autocrosses - I did well years ago in both a GTI and a 944, and can't wait to get the NC out there amongst the cones. As far as the GTGs, if I don't make it this coming Wednesday, you can count on me in the near future!

    BTW - I work at Dallas Love Field and drive GBT/75/635/DNT everyday. Honk if you see me!
