Not all of us have great cars to drive but it's supposed to come home
tomorrow. I'm eager to see it's new paint, I hope I'm not
disappointed...

BTW, I think Alley Oop had one of the first clubs.

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 !!!!!! :-)

I like the NC and lust after one. 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.

Well put. Maybe it's a unique DC attitude...

Mere "Brilliant Black", or "Brilliant Black Clearcoat"?

Iva, Somehow I had a feeling that there may be more than one claim to that
'first' title :-) Thanks for stirring the pot!

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

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).

Are you asking if it has been resprayed? 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.
