Where are you and your Miata?

Jack, speaking of puzzled ....... the gentleman who posted the click and clack item also gave me his location. As I was typing in his town, Excel finished typing it for me ........ whoa, that's cool, maybe I'll be able to hook up two guys in the U.K. who don't even know each other. Boy was I surprised when it was your town here in the U.S. that had been previously typed into the spreadsheet. I was about to send you a note about this 'sister city' of sorts when, lo and behold, you were the very next post. Oh, Jack already caught it I thought but, no, looks like you didn't. Chelmsford, MA and Chelmsford in the U.K. pretty cool, eh?

Also, this puts the U.K. ahead of even the (apparent) great miata state of PA! Chris

Well Richard, if I compare you as a country you're performing miserably at about 47 to 6 to 1 to 1 to 1 to 1 to 1 ;-)

I think I like you making each of our states 'look bad' in comparison. Remember, most of us can't find you on a globe (that's what they tell me).

It's all in fun guys! Chris

Thanks Brian, this gets "us" back up with PA !

Oh no, can't go there! We'd have to start all over. Nice try though (Californians!) ;-)

Great Werner, thanks for jumping in. Aside from the U.K. we've got 1 representative showing up from New Zealand, Denmark, France and now Belgium. I love it!

Awesome, Chris

See! And there goes the neighborhood! We won't muddy the water with Steve's suggestion however, somebody might start a thread on "how many miatas have you owned?" Ya never know.

Do you get to count them if they never ran during ownership? If so, then it is 4, otherwise 3. Planning to add at least one more to the total at some point.

Ah' So... And at what point ( beyond "DOH" ) does he finally admit he was "wrong"...?

Thanks, Chris

Jack, Pat (pws) already admitted he was WAY off on this one. He's just as excited as me and hopefully some of ya'all!

It's been allot of fun for me! My wife has yet to tire of me running out of the computer room saying "I got another country!" Ya, I'm that goofy.

Thanks for doing this Chris. It has been a revelation to me how many others are lurking just as I do. And I am amazed at how many NC owners are reading this newsgroup.

to make it even more existential, you should ask if you part one out to hundreds of other cars does it count as one car or hundreds...

I guess it stands to reason that the UK will be well represented here among the Europeans because we speak English (primarily). What's more surprising though is I read somewhere that the UK is Europe's biggest market for convertibles! Amazing, when you consider our weather [think Michigan for an idea, from what I've experienced] :)

Good point .......... NOT!

if, over time, i replace every part in my car with a part from your car, then do i call it my car or do i call it your car?

ps. the plastic cap to the drivers seat belt shoulder bolt has gone missing again... is this a common problem?

That happened about 5 times with my '90 - I finally gave up replacing it.

Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day.
