Howdy folks!

Dan down in Texas, and I'm of the small sports car persuasion. I've got a few Miata's (of course), 3 Fiat X1/9's, and my most recent toy is one I'm really enjoying despite it actually being a bit of a moral defeat.
Last year I picked up a 1970 MGB GT! Yep, a split rear bumper!!! (Only year for that!) Despite years and years of teasing my college friend about how bad MG's suck, this one ticked every possible cool box. Overdrive, Wirewheels, AIR CONDITIONING!!! Coolest thing is parts are just criminally cheap and almost every part is still available.
I'm still chasing a few gremlins, intermittent tach, no reverse or hazard lights... but every electrical issue I have fixed thus far has merely been a bad connection. Once cleaned, etc, the fault I was chasing has been eliminated. It's slow enough I get to drive around at full throttle and even the old folks smile!

The Fiat is getting swapped over to Euro spec currently... and it's going to need some bodywork and paint, but eventually that little tart will be back on the road.

Clearly you have space to garage these and time and skills to make them right. Very impressive!

The poor Miata's are outside 24/7. No mercy. And currently the MGB has been out a bunch. My garage has a Honda Prelude Si getting some new brake lines so I'm not afraid to drive it! And my son's Legacy Gt. Changing plugs, camshaft sensors, and part of the power steering system on that thing.

The passenger side (US specs) of the subaru 2.5 dohc turbo motor is criminally hard to work on. I'm shocked everyday I work on it.

2 of the Miatas and 2 of the Fiats are parts cars. Well, one of the Fiats... I'd love to strip it into a barely legal racy type car a significant other would hate... but not sure.
And if you're scratching your head over miata parts cars, ive broken everything but A-arms on Mazdas. Cranks, transmissions, shattered differentials. They're not near as reliable as people think.

The only small sports car I love is the Pontiac Fiero.

A few years back our local AutoZone used to be managed by a guy who had at least three Fieros. One had a Cadillac Northstar engine swap. And then he had an 86 GT, or whatever the last year was. And then I think he had an earlier V6 model that he planned on Hot Rodding. The Silver North Star swap really looked and sounded cool.

Posted by OhubCleaned up my 4C last night and took it to a loc car show this morning. There were three 4Cs there - which might be about the total of them in Omaha. The third 4C parked in a different area.
