Hi Club members, I am not a Miata owner but have been looking for one for my daughter in the $3 to
$5k range. I have been really impressed with the reviews I've read about these cars and have just barely
missed buying a few beauties. Who knows after I get her one maybe I'll have to get myself one.
Anyway if you know anyone that would like to sell a clean (Probably 95-99)please have them email me.
Thanks so much, Bob

Good Afternoon :). I own a '95 base edition Miata that came with power everything as well as cruise
control and air conditioning. I have rebuilt the motor and added a high performance cam to increase the
lift and shorten the duration. GA-Bam...down the road. I am in the process of turbocharging my prism
red Miata. I have done suspension work, added Sparco Racing seats, roll bar, and a Kicker stereo. I am
interested in street, rod, and show... Anyone out there?

I just bought a 1997 Miata from my granddaughter. There was extensive damage to passenger front
fender and passenger door. Car has 215,000 miles. I bought it from her. I figured it was in my price
range and condition was appropriate for a good buy and the engine should be broken in by now. I also
own a 1974 Fiat X1/9. Bought this car in similar condition but brought it home in boxes. At least the
Miata was all in one piece. I am considering joining your group. Ron

just purchased a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata. So far its been a great little car and extremely fun to drive.
Being an MG/LR enthusiast this is the closest thing to having a new and modern MG. Look forward to
meeting members of the club and sharing ideas, knowledge and stories.

I was a member of SAMOA several years ago. Living so far away was making it difficult to attend. I
went on several outings and participated in a couple of Christmas toy events. It was a great time. I am
now looking to sell my 96 M Edition Miata. It is in great shape. Just like the day I bought it and runs as
well. If you know anyone looking for a great car, give me a call. (209) 728-9121. Thanks, and have a
great new year. ADGS.

I drive a 2002 Crystal Blue. Bought it about 3 years ago (53,000 miles). I joined Mt. Hood Miata Club
and the Puget Sound Miata Club. Mt. Hood meets in Portland. Puget Sound meets in Renton, WA
(exit 150). I live right in the middle between the two clubs, so I go to whichever event suits me... I
drove my Miata to Fresno last Thanksgiving to visit relatives. Fun trip. I really love it. I like sports cars...

Just got my first Miata yesterday. First looked at the Miata's many years ago. It took a long time to be
able to get one. Very glad I did! Found your site through Mazda owners web site. Nice to see a
owners club close to where I live. Your monthly meetings are quite a ways from where I live. And with
being on a work night, I don't think I will be able to join you then. I would like to meet up on one of
your events someday. Happy motoring!

Hi....my husband and I are in the process of hunting for a nice Miata. That said, we wanted to be
guests at the next club meeting scheduled for July 13th. Do we have your blessing to attend, even if
we haven't purchased the Miata as yet?? If someone could please email us to let us know, that would
be great. Thanks, Jeanne and Mike. Email: jmul47@att.net. (ED NOTE: by all means you are
welcome to join us on the 13th.)

providers and suggested service intervals. Also, is the car timing belt driven? And if so when should it
be replaced? Thanks, Bob (916) 966-6408 weedfam1@comcast.net.

Hi fellow MX-5/miata driver, We are a small business, now in our second year of operation, offering
escorted MX-5 tours and car hire in the South Island of New Zealand. We started this business due to
the comments from a number of overseas MX-5 owners that we met who expressed an interest to
experience NZ roads and scenery from the familiar comfort of an MX-5. Our cars are selected for being
just a bit special with several of them limited editions. Our tours are designed to capture the spirit and
camaraderie that is special to MX-5 club rallies. We can also develop a specialized itinerary for a group of
over eight persons or over four cars. Current accommodation is in 3+ and 4 star hotels but we can
quote on other types of accommodation With the possibility that some of your members may be
interested in flying south to get away from your next winter and enjoying a great winter holiday in New
Zealand. Is there an option to mention our operation in your newsletter? Or perhaps you could
establish a link to our site either in the newsletter or on your links page. If so we would really welcome
this opportunity. www.mx5touring.co.nz Perhaps we could provide you with an article in your
newsletter or magazine about mx5 driving in New Zealand.

Hi, I came across a little red 1990 Miata by my uncle. Actually by both of my uncles. My uncle Dave first
introduced me to this wonderfully fun car when he bought it and fixed it up. He then gave it to my
uncle Paul when he could no longer drive (health reasons). Uncle Paul had a little trouble with the clutch
and so it sat for 5 years in driveway. I bleed the clutch, jump started the battery and it fired right up
(old gas and all). He gave it to my daughter, I drive it, (haven't had time to teach her manual shift,
hehe), she takes my car. Awesome, very reliable, strong vehicle. Have even used it to transport material
to replace flooring (best little red construction "truck" I've ever had).

Hello all: I am on my third Miata I have one 1990, and a donor 2006 (hit a dear at speed) :( I am in the
process of rebuilt another 06 with the parts off my old car. I have never been to a Miata club meeting.
I was a member of the VW clubs in the bay area for years. Do you do any track days or rallys?

I will be buying a Miata soon as a second car to use when the weather is inclement for my motorcycles
and occasional autocross or track day. I am interested in joining SAMOA when I have a car and getting
advice on purchasing one and finding a good shop for it.

I had a question about finding a replacement center console faceplate. I recently replaced my sterio
(91's still had a tape deck, haha) and the console faceplate basically shattered when it was taken off.
Your president Robin George helped me over the phone and I appreciate it greatly. If anyone else has
info on where I can find a new faceplate, be it factory, used or aftermarket I would be grateful. Please
feel free to call, 209-552-1890. and to Robin - thank you for your help[ful] friendly nature.

Hi, I am a second time owner of a Miata, my first one was a new 2000 fire engine red and this one is a a
2008 silver touring, both have manual shift. I forgot how hard it was for me to reach the clutch pedal
to shift. Does anyone know where I could buy some kind of [clutch] pedal extension? I have looked
on the internet but to no avail. Could you put the word out that I am looking and see what happens?
Thank you. mcmillen2b@yahoo.com.

Hello, I'm interested in joining SAMOA and saw the free membership promotiion for 2010.. I purchased
my Miata in September of 2009, but have only recently checked around online for clubs/associations.
Does this mean I do not qualify for the free promo since I purchased in 2009 and did not join in 2009?
Just thought I'd check. Thanks! Christine.

reflects the energy and involvement of your still fun-loving membership. Keep it up, you've done a
great job!

Just checking out the sight. Love Tex Whantabe's... and any other cooking channel restaurants. Never
belonged to a Miata club. Bought our 3rd. one July 2, 2009... too many grand-kids so they were sold,
now I'm old and stingy and got another MX-5... need very little prodding to drive anywhere.

to SJVMC and SoCalm. My favorite runs and rallys have been with SAMOA. I love this club! My late
husband always went on the SAMOA events and he passed away in 2003. I now have a new partner
and life gets better daily. Looking forward to the Twentieth! I just sold my Brilliant Black '92 (special
edition) and bought a 2007 with retractable hardtop.

I just bought a 2007 Galaxy Grey retractable hardtop and decided to join the club. I have always
enjoyed going on runs and rallys with SAMOA in the past. Our first event was when Bonnie Lusk was
the prez, it was the Goldrush event. That was I believe in 1993. I am also a member of SJVMC. I've
been a member of soCalm since 1992 when I bought my first Miata. I love SAMOA events, I have never
been to a bad one!!!! Looking forward to the next one I can get to.

safely stored in my garage when my beloved silver MX-5 was totalled recently on my way to work.
Otherwise, I'd love to join your club now that I've checked out the website. However, if anyone is
inteested in the boot, please email me at linfischer@aol.com. Have many happy runs.

Hi there at SAMOA, my name is Paul van Helden, and I'm responsible for the events of the Dutch
MX-5Owners.nl. In the past our clubs did have some contact at regular times. I was wondering if there
is still time and room for an international event?
We want to have a international event on our agenda again and one of the old favourites was the
America trip. With rented Miata's through the California sun. Please contact me for some further ideas
at evenementen@mx-5owners.nl or at bestuur@mx-5owners.nl.

I have two questions. #1. Has the Board of Officers and or the club ever considered updating the club
logo to depict all three generations of the Miata? #2. With the large influx of new members (myself
included) there are probably several of us who would like to purchase apparel (jackets, sweatshirts,
t-shirts, ball caps) with the club logo. Is this possible? Love everything about the club, looking forward
to more runs...
