I'm looking at a 1981 Spur LWB with 21k miles. Very nice inside and out, mohair seats (not everybody loves 'em). Magnolia respray but it looks...
We are looking to replace my wifes's 2003 M-B SL500. She wants a toy, not a daily driver (although the SL handled both roles). She has always been...
Took my 456 on track just once. Learned two things: (1) I was totally hooked and (2) the 456 was not the car for a rookie to drive on track. Got...
SCDA usually has Spec Miata rentals at their events. That's a good way to find out whether the track thing is for you. I've always enjoyed...
First 456 I ever saw was green/tan, but it was an auto. Still an awfully nice introduction to the 456 and I eventually bought a 98 in...
Yeah, yeah, nice car ... but were the windows done? :D
I started at 50, with DE through Sports Car Driving Association (based in CT) and Skip Barber 3-day school. Wish I had a little more DE...
I have amber Oakleys (can't remember the exact color) for flat light and gray for bright light. However, on the advice of several experienced...
My first track experience was in my 456. Fun, yes, but scary, too. Not just because I thought I would launch the car into the Armco but because...
A true enthusiast's response!
Completely agree with buying an inexpensive momentum-type car to start with. I went with a Porsche 944 as a compromise between the Miata (a...
Agree on both points. My Craftsman lasted half a season, the HF has lasted 2-1/2.
First time I read that I thought you said tubes. Now that would be a sound system. And if you could figure out the suspension issues a turntable...
I run in the 944 Cup series and I like it a lot. For me it's a good middle ground between the pure spec 944 class and the "sky's the limit" of...
Coaching! I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the trackday volunteer instructors, but as others have said there is no substitute for...
+1 I got a check engine light and it turned out to be an intermittent short on one (one!) plug wire. Trivial repair, but it took a pro (WWOC)...
Hi all. I'm thinking of a Turbo R for semi-daily driving. What is the overall reliability of the late 80s - early 90s Bents? Any known...
When I was selling my M-B 450SL I got an email from a guy in Israel who expressed serious interest and wanted to schedule a test drive. OK, I...
120 sounds aggressive, even for an 03. BTW, which of the three did you say was rough? Couldn't tell from your post.
Funny about that. I put the proceeds from my 456 into the tracking/racing kitty (944 Cup) fully expecting to replace the Ferrari as soon as...
