Who's here?

Jul 23, 2008 60 Replies

Well, it's been entirely too quiet around here lately. The only really interesting posts I've seen lately on this thread were political (off topic) and as much as I love this groups ability to stay on topic (unlike most newsgroups), it was at least nice to see human communication taking place. And hey, miata guys are so civil that even the politics didn't get totally ugly (good work guys). Anyway, at the risk of going off topic again here, I decided to re-post the info I previously gathered on who's hanging around here and where they are from. It turned out to be HUGELY entertaining for me and others seemed to get a kick out of it too SOOOO, just to stir the pot, here's the info again. I'd love to hear from anybody that's still hanging around and I'll even add / update my info and re-post it after (assuming I get SOME responses).



I've got a follow up that I want to do but thought I'd stir the pot before I threw a soup bone in there ;-)



I have t appologize to Brunno, we had some great conversations back and forth comparing and contrasting the US of A and Denmark (VERY interesting) and my computer bit the dust and I lost my address book and all my old inbox / sent items so, I dropped the ball (the conversation). I imagine he's still lurking here ;-0



Thanks, Chris

post the info I previously gathered on who's hanging around here and where they are from.

That's XS11E, please. I'm waiting for my new top, I got a call that it's here but wasn't able to schedule installation until Thursday, July

11th.

Robbins says they have new glue, I'll believe it if the back window doesn't fall out.....

I used to be here. Then I wasn't. Now I'm back.

Houston Miata Club member Carol? I joined a couple years ago and have dabbled but haven't stayed current. I love that color! I'll add you to my list!

I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace.

Still here, mostly in lurk mode for now. I suspect that the same is true for most of the people on your list.

Pat

I am here, mostly reading.

Abid Khan Sugar Land, TX

I love it that little ol' Pennsylvania has the same number as big ol' California and Texas.

Speaking of Texas, anyone get trammeled by Hurricane Dolly? Hopefully not!

I missed my track days for this year because my surgeon hasn't released me. Heck, he hasn't even released me for work or driving yet but I'm already doing both of those - at least a little bit. It's just that I figured doing HPDE is a little too much for my poor gut right now.

2004 Classic Red No more winkin' Miata

Hey Iva, ya, good for 'ol PA! Here in SW Houston, we've gotten quite a good soaking between today and yesterday afternoon. Some good / heavy stuff but not quite at a rate that'll overwhelm the drainage so, we're mostly appreciative. Plus, it's dropped the temps 8 ~ 10 degrees.

Thanks, Chris

99BBB

True for me at least. I check in every few days but mostly I'm just driving my car. If only it were less reliable or something I'd post with more questions...

And here in NW Houston we bow in gratitude for the lower temperatures. And for the grass. The poor, dead, brown grass in my front yard! We got some very impressive rain over here this afternoon - the kind of rain that made me very happy that my zoomzoom was parked in the garage and not out playing "Death Rally" on the West Loop with all the SUVs and 18 wheelers...

Carol '04 Black Cherry

Hey Chris - not the club member - although I guess I should join just to say I have... flying under the radar over here in Spring Branch. I love the black cherry, also. My husband says it's purple but he says blue is green and we've argued about that for 16 years so what can you do? :-)

Carol '04 Black Cherry

Right, we're all too busy out driving, top-down.

Eric

Here I am:

I'm (mostly) lurking here in Shropshire in the midle of England.

I drive a 96 imported Eunos Roadster VR-Limited (Combination-A) a Japanese domestic market only limited edition. Similar specials were sold in the UK as the Merlot.

'Three twins', a Miata guy and goes by OzOne and is not Mal Osborne (also of Australia). You're not related to Mal are you?

Still willing to argue after 16 years ....... he sounds like a keeper! Maybe we'll run into each other at a club meeting some time. You can go totally stealth, nobody will kick you out (they really won't mind at all, you're a prospective member!)

Chris

Still Gottcha from before. Are you from the home of the ICC? I've always heard it said; so and so will be tried (sp?) at the International Criminal Court in the Hague. I didn't realize it was a city called 'the Hague', interesting.

Three twins comes from something that was said to me years ago. MX5 guy...Miata sounds so girly :-) And No, not related to Mal Osbourne..Perth is LA to NY away from Sydney.

OzOne of the three twins

I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace.

As far as I know it's the original Japanese licence plate surround, with A UK plate attached. It was on the car when I bought it last November. The car lived in Japan until 2000 when its previous owner imported it to the UK.

Unfortunately in the UK a front plate is a legal requirement and the 'normal' UK market long thin front plates are just as ugly. I'd like to replace it with a self-adhesive plate but these are probably illegal in the UK now as they aren't vertical and therefore may not be readable by speed cameras and the multitude of spy cameras that the Powers That Be insist on installing all over the country for my safety and protection....
