There is (was) an online registry for 2001 Miata British Racing Green Special Editions. You can find it here: http://www.bucklescomic.com/2001se.html Unfortunately, that registry has not been updated in several years. It appears the author simply lost interest after selling his own BRG SE. The registry lists 197 cars of a possible 3000 made, but many of those entries are obsolete as cars have been sold, wrecked, drowned (as in Hurricane Katrina), parted out, etc. I'm trying to update the 2001 SE registry. So far, I've managed to locate another 70+ cars through various Miata sites and many Google searches; I can now account for ~270 of these cars. If you have one of these 2001 BRG SE's, or had one and sold it, please let me know your Build (Production) number (you can find it here with your VIN: http://bit.ly/zJ2kvE) as well as your Town and State. Or if you know someone with one of these SE's, please point them to this page. Thanks...

I am the third owner, but maybe the second doesn't count, he only had it for 6 months. The original owners purchased it new when they were already in their 60's! It is my second Miata. The first I bought new in 1991. It was a "B" package also, but Silverstone, kept it for 10 great years and finally had to have another!!

The link to the previous post (so you can follow up on the links within that post), is here - http://consilience.typepad.com/teachers_lounge/2010/06/totaled-the-car-time-for-car-talk-to-do-the-right-thing.html And now, the poem which Car Talk refuses to air. On Teaching Your Wife to Drive Her New Miata, or, What is This Clutch Thing Anyway? To shift, or not to shift? That is the question- Whether 'tis nobler to brave the Five-gated synchromesh monster With its yet untamed demon clutch And risk the gnashing of teeth in my mad hunt for third, Or to drive the distance in second gear, And, by revving past the blessed redline, Crack a piston or burn a valve. 'Tis better to shift, methinks, For who shall love me perchance I blow this DOHC-16V in-line, 4-cylinder fuel-injected engine? Aye! There's the rub. For who shall love a shiftless woman As myself? Yet, is love secured by clutching? Perhaps 'tis better to seek a neutral ground and Coast to gentle stop. No! The risk is not the worth, For the master would only make his gurgling sounds and Force me start again, and thereby tempt the dreaded stall, Wherein he would surely stable me and Ride the pleasured pony himself. Fie! Fie on him! I shall stall no more. Wherefore did he buy this silver ragtop? Aye, for me, and with half my money! I'll play his dicey little game and yet still may win. Lo! Win I must! For with the stall dies respect, And in that death-like sleep What dreams may unbidden come? ...

We drove to Meyersdale, PA today for the annual PA Maple Festival. The day was cool with bright sunshine instead of the forecasted snow. Rolling through the hills of the Laurel Highlands had both of us laughing. What a perfect day!
