I remember when they invented dirt so that might give you an idea of how old I am. Been messing with cars since 1961 and just can't seem to get my fingernails clean. I have two '92 Miata's - one is a SPECMiata and the other is an in progress "C" Model I am playing with in STS2 autocross. I don't mind helping a fellow auto enthusiast when I can (got all the tools & junk and a garage to play in). You can contact me here or at [email protected]
Welcome to the forum, Miata55! :chug:
A Spec Miata and an STS2 car, eh? Sounds like you'll fit in just fine around here! :mrgreen:
Welcome Miata55! I know I've seen your blue & white Miata at a recent AX event, just can't remember which one. Were you at the TMS Road course a few weeks ago?
Welcome aboard!!
Always good to see another old fart in the fray! Welcome.
Yes, as a matter of fact, my son drove in the Sunburn 2005 at TMS this year. It's the odd ball blue and white #55. It and the trailer are sadly for sale right now - but not the black #55 STS2 car. I'm keeping that one. My son and I have shared the driving at road races in TWS, TMS, Hallet, and MSR. We have both shared driving the black one in AXing. We have a ball sharing this with each other and our family (his and mine) gets to watch and share in the madness at times.Quote:

You'll get accustomed to these young whippersnappers as well as their humor....just wear your thick skin when you log on.... ;-)
No, really they're a pretty good group of folks... :-)
Welcome aboard also.
Ok - lemme see here! Just who is the oldest fart around these here parts. 12/29/43Quote:

Yeah, but I have him beat by a few months...the Ides of March, 1943... :clap:
Holy crap! You guys are old! Shouldn't you be trading the Miatas in for walkers or something? :razz:
My problem with a Miata is not getting in, well, yes it is, but the fun part is listening to all my bones crack when I get out...... :oQuote:

The alternative to getting old is not too enticing. It just happens to the best of us!
(4/13/1940).
Just keep working so I can continue to receive my monthly check.

19? Wow! It wasn't until I was 23 that I realized I was sporting a comb-over. That's when the clippers came out for me! ;)Quote:

Will I be autocrossing with the NTS2K on my birthay? HELL YES.
Will I be autocrossing with the SCCA on Fathers Day? HELL YES.
Hey, your're still a young'un, just barely older than my wife, and I robbed the cradle... :drink:
