Larry Schupp's Journal --

Hi to my fellow Miata enthusiasts. I think the Mazda MX-5 Miata represents the best of the iconic British roadsters of the past, especially the '50s and '60s cars such as AC, Allard, Aston-Martin, Austin-Healey, Jaguar, MG, Morgan, Sunbeam, Triumph, etc. while adding a bit of comfort, convenience, and reliability to the sports car experience. I grew up loving the experience of top-down motoring and had the pleasure of owning and driving several of those older models in my youth, including a white '59 Austin-Healey 'bug-eye' Sprite, a '64 MGB, '66 MGB GT, and '67 MG Midget (all BRG), a gold '63 Sunbeam Alpine, 2 Triumph Spitfires (a red '65 and a BRG '69), a BRG '67 Triumph GT6+ and a silver '69 Jaguar XKE. I loved those cars and still recall, hopefully for a few more years, the adventures and fun I had. However, the Miata is more fun & much more reliable. More later. Keep motoring! *BRG = British Racing Green
