New '08 MX5! 800,000th Sold!
........So we find ourselves past the eighteenth year of
production of the
Mazda Miata MX-5.......a sportscar acclaimed internationally,
and
perennially, as the most perfectly developed and balanced
mass-produced
roadster in the history of motor-car production.
Those who have tripped into the experience of MX-5 ownership
can
easily identify with the driving qualities that forge a bond among
fellow
owners......from Barbara Beach's (former columnist for the
Miata Club
of America magazine, and now publisher of MazdaSport
Magazine)
impressions from the earliest days; to Jean Lindamood's
(former colum-
nist, and now editor, of Automobile Magazine) experiences of
driving
both the early and later iterations of the car, up the Pacific
coast; to Jay
Leno's admission in his monthly column in the UK magazine
Octane, that despite originally percieving the Miata as a
"hair-dresser's car", the inheritance of his late brother's '96,
and its regular use in place of his collection of exotics,
convinced him that there was something basically
great here...........but then, we already knew that!

These comments on Squadron-MX5's first official tour, The
Fool's Tour, April 1st '06, to Southern Illinois & Shawnee Ntl
Forest, Cave-In-Rock, ferry across the Ohio, etc.:
From Randy & Kelly, of Owensboro, KY, who joined in the
tour in their black '93 LE:
"Kelly & I enjoyed the company...The day could not have
been better for top-down driving of the back-roads of Indiana,
Illinois, & Kentucky! We saw things that were unique & drove
roads that are what I call "Miata-approved"! Those who were
unable to attend missed out on a great day...If at all possible,
make plans for the May 7 Tour...or miss out again on a grand
adventure of driving & socializing with some great
people!...Keep driving!"
