Who's here?
Iva, that's too bad about the drive. It's 84 deg's here in Seattle and I
just returned from a good top down drive of about 4 hr's. ( It sure is nice to be retired ) I feel the same way about the clubs. Who cares any how ! We were reg'd with Miata Club of America as "Puget Sound Chapter of the Miata Club of America" and we were the first to rag. with them. I think I will go out for a drive in the sun !!!!!! :-) Bruce Bing '03 LS |

Wednesday I drove my '97 for the first time in 2 weeks. Walking back to it at the far end of the parking lot at the end of the day I was hit once again with what fine lines the NA has. It is a joy to see one on the road, not the feeling I get when I see an NC. Maybe it is the outstanding Brilliant Black color, not the wussy, *allegedly* faster, boring white. -- Ken Lyons '97 Brilliant Black/'90 Classic Red (yeah Chis, I'm still here) Inside the Beltway |

Iva, Somehow I had a feeling that there may be more than one claim to that
'first' title :-) Thanks for stirring the pot! Chris 99BBB "Iva" > wrote in message ... > Chris D'Agnolo wrote: >> Sweet! That's good to know. Wonder if anybody refutes that 'first'.

Damn, even I wouldn't argue with that much (reported) evidence! Very

Man, there's probably 5 or 6 Chillicothe's up around the mid west. It's an
old Indian tribe (you probably already knew that). Chris 99BBB "Ken Lyons" > wrote in message news:lW3pk.856$ZV1.773@trnddc07... > "Chris D'Agnolo" > wrote >> Hey, you're #3 on my list from IL!

Not yet, though 11 years of outdoor living is taking its toll on the original single stage paint. Bird droppings, no matter how quickly cleaned off, do a marvelous job of etching the paint surface. -- Ken Lyons '97 Brilliant Black/'90 Classic Red Inside the Beltway |
