I agree that the NA cars have aged quite well. I think the NBs need another decade before they grow into their oldness. The Mazdaspeed NBs have always looked a little fiddly to me; too much tupperware glued to them.

Today the ND Miata debuts and today is also the day my beloved NA begins its restoration.

Great swap, but I can't get over the price.

I'd have one of these in a heartbeat. Maybe when I eventually turn the P71 into a LeMons car.

It's always fun having more power than available traction.

I can afford an F-type, but don't see myself buying one. I'd rather spend the money racing. Maybe if I get feeble and can't drive my Healey anymore. That would be a good deal, except the F-type doesn't sound as nice and would be a depreciating asset. And I'd look like "that guy". Thank God I still have my hair.

With the tent! Best in Show!

This has been a wildly successful fundraising campaign for ALS research. ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's disease, is awful. Seriously, you don't want to get it.

That car is beautiful beyond my ability to describe. Do you have a shot of the profile or back of the car?

So jealous. Does it get attention? How many whiplash inducing double takes have you gotten. Were I to see one drive by I think I'd start running down the street screaming and waving my arms over my head.

Another Torchrific article. Safe travels and keep the roving bands of Oklahoman Huguenots at bay.

Excellent article.

I agree completely about the radio. Without the steering wheel buttons, the radio controls would be hatchet in the dashboard aggravating.

Yes! This is an excellent project!

spot on. Insert criticism/respect for Robert Moses here.

Good on ya. I'm less old than you and have been happily competing in LeMons for a while. Get the 'vette, you won't be disappointed. I'm rebuilding and improving my Miata instead of getting a Cayman.

Hmm... I do drive my Healey slower on the freeway than my other cars. That's mostly due to it blowing big clouds of smoke at prolonged high RPM (I can't blame it, I do the same thing).

I wasn't meaning to be critical of you, my reaction was more of me being surprised by my age (again). I still think of myself as an early 20s sort. Which is weird because most of my friends are old like me.

My parents? Sorry, some of us Jalops are old. I'm entering my late 40s. Doesn't mean I've grown up, or still don't act like a child in cars. I can just afford to have the fun I wanted to when I was a young, starving racing driver.

Love it. I can't wait to buy an unreliable European car from CarMax.
