We took the Miata for a COLD drive up threw the Adirondacks on 3/24/2012. It has been unseasonably warm this year and when we picked up our SE it was summer like and we drove it about 200 that afternoon of 2/22/2012. It got cold friday and on saturday we enjoyed a ride up threw the mountains, was so diferent without leaves on the trees, no crowds, desolate in Speculator. The lakes have ice remaining.

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? Grinning motorists in their idiot-proof cars, Shiftless men in lobster suits who dare stop behind me on the slightest upgrade. Ha! I am better than those powerglide simpletons. I guide my own destiny. Switch the pitch, smell the glove, Break like the wind, Leaving strips of Yokahama rubber all over the road, Proof I stall no more. I shift when I take the mood. And if I chance the stall, So be it. I am woman. Who but she can bear the whips and scorns of time With but a bare bodkin twixt her teeth? Sisters, oh sisters! Join with me and together we shall Bare our broccoli at those leering men In their over-sized Chevrolets. But, Ho! Lo! I ramble. Soft you now, girlie, Do the right thing. "PUT THE CLUTCH IN!" Oh! Oh! Oh! Yes indeedy I shall. You needn't yell, master. Your native hue looks far better Than this tinge you show me now. I pray you sir, tis done. The clutch is in. Shall we go a happy motoring?

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!

Ok, you’ve had a good night’s sleep and are raring to hit the road for day two. I really hope you’re doing this in early spring (although in early spring, it might still snow in the mountains you drove on day one! Timing is indeed ‘interesting’ for this trip!), if not, get an early start because we’re talkin’ HOT DESERT and I don’t mean Baked Alaska! We’ll be heading south along the shores of the Salton Sea, that oddity that used to be part of the Gulf of California until a turn of the last century earthquake raised the land south of there and cut off this arm, making it a land locked salt sea (hence it’s name). At one time it was touted as a Wondrous Resort, but as the salinity has increased (imagine this, an Ecological Bad Thing, NOT caused by either humans OR Republicans OR Big Oil), the fish die off more frequently and really stink up the place. Sadly, it’s pretty much closed up, taking people’s dreams of living on the New Riviera with it. There’s a kinda hard scrabble flint edged attitude amongst the inhabitants in their scruffy trailers and sometimes engine-less motor homes. It’s a bargain for Snowbirds on a Budget. About half way down the western edge, your gonna turn west, through the Anza Borrego Desert. This place gets REALLY hot, so if you’re a top down kinda traveller (like us), plenty of sun screen and even long sleeve shirts that have SPF protection and some kinda hats are deregiuer. Just like Death Valley, if there’s actually been some rain, the little wild flowers, eking out an existence are marvelous. Even without the flowers, there is an awesome beauty to the landscape. Lunar is the term that usually comes to mind. Heading south out of the Borrego, you’ll hit the town of Ocotillo. This road was part of the Great Overland Stage Route, and it’s hard to realize what that must have been like. Long, hot, dusty, and unbearably slow, it took some special people to travel this route regularly. Make sure you gas up in Ocotillo. There isn’t much opportunity along I-8. Yeah, OK, I said it. The “I” word. You know I wouldn’t send you on the Dreaded Interstate unless I had to, but, there is no other way through Carrizo Gorge. Even though it’s Interstate, it’s a pretty neat drive. Deep rocky canyons and spectacular rock formations are the order of the day. Just past the gorge, we’ll get onto the Old Road. This is the remnant of US Hwy 80. It’s less travelled, has no trucks and obviously is preferable to I-8. If you want, you can keep on I-8, they parallel each other. Old 80 is just more interesting. About where the interstate shifts a bit north, we’ll head for the hills and lunch, by taking the back way into Julian. Most people have at least heard of this old mining town that’s now famous for it’s Apple Pies. Yep, another Pie Stop! There are a couple of places in town, but to me, Mom’s is THE place. They were the first and make all their pies from scratch! If you time it right and hit Julian early, you can smell the baking pies as you hit town. MAN, there isn’t much better than that! The only equal would be hitting Gilroy at Garlic Pickin’ Time! See, THIS is why I love an open car! The ability to smell the world around you is far superior to our usual air-conditioned-bottled-air-’freshener’-scented isolation in modern cars. Now Julian is tiny. Parking is a pain. A lot of the shops have the usual happy crappy in them, but there are some neat ones. In addition to Mom’s, there are other eateries, B&B’s and places to get organic honeys and jams. Check out http://www.visitjulian.com/ for more info. Now if you have a group, or don’t want to fight the parking, here’s a tip. Mom’s has a place just north of town in Wynola. It’s on the highway and is hard to miss. Wynola actually looks even neater than “downtown” Julian. There are some antique places and even a guy who makes HARD CIDER! Tough to beat that. The Mom’s in Wynola is really just for pies, but hey, pie for lunch? What’s wrong with that? After Julian, we’ll be heading east again, back through the heart of the Anza Borrego to a town called Borrego Springs. To do this, we descend Montezuma Pass. This is a Montezuma’s Revenge of a different sort. This is a really great road, but be careful of the Motor Home Idiots. A month or so ago, one went “sailin’ on out there”. I guess it’s not an irregular occurrence. Through Borrego Springs we’ll head back to the Salton Sea, then back north to Indio for night two. Although it’s been a short jaunt (under 200 miles), it’s been a challenging trip, and one where you actually have time to dawdle and still get back to the joys of a cool motel pool in time for the real heat of the day. Next month, in part three, we’ll hit a couple of museums, Joshua Tree, and lovely Mecca. Until then, keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down.
