welcome back and thank you! Came here to find some inspiration after being out of the country for a couple weeks and avoiding the lack of progress my turbo NA has made (still on jack stands since...
Christian! Your wonderful collection just continues to grow with some more special additions, congrats!
and since I still don't have any car updates (blaming the collarbone and the procrastination [or fear?] around trying to track down that dreaded coolant leak) I might as well finish off the garage...
Welcome back!!!
Thanks Harry! You know, that 2-tone panel is the same as the one I already have installed in my coupe so will let you know when I'm ready to pass it on. Since I'm so much later to the NB game you...
The vast majority of “collectibles” are Mazda with a few things from when I was working with Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, et al . The only non Miata thing I’d picked up was this set of 60th...
You have certainly been a great enabler Randy, thanks :teehee: I wish I could see the AWD cluster with the thick rings but only see my second NB AWD cluster, my original NA AWD cluster and the...
Just feels right to see my favourite local roadster team onboard as a sponsor of my favourite roadster community hub. This rocks!
Scale models and some of my favorite momentos went in to an antique display cabinet I found.

I quickly ran out of space so started filling up any of the other...
Thanks for the kind words D. In fact I'm most looking forward to filling it with the truly best things of Roadstering.. Roadster friends! :)
Thanks for the warning John. I've always been...
Yes indeed, Yay updates!! Glad this thread is getting some love!
So great Rodosuta Aikoka has kick started the NorCal meets and thrilled to have been able to join at least once.. so far. Funny...
Funny how updates brings back so many great memories, right?
You do indeed. The design is vintage but they're still produced. I bought it about five years now...
... because I'd sat in one probably thirty or more years ago and thought "One day, if I...
Funny how our Roadster's maintain their alure compared to modern rivals 30 years their junior. Glad you got yourself a fun modern car with the critical third pedal. Definitely not enough option...
Knowing there was a lot of wall space to fill I ordered some Japanese Nibori flags and had one designed for “KINOD Speed Stars” (a nod to the fact that KINOD introduced me to Initial D and that like...
Thanks Marco - maybe you and your Dad will be able to swing by someday for another Roadster BBQ!
I had an ever growing collection of posters and artwork from MRLS meets, JCCS, a print on canvas that Adam so kindly had made and sent of Sam Mamiya’s commission, the KINOD anniversary Akira/ JonB...
I’d always dreamed of having a garage that I could fill with my roadsters, all the spare parts I’d accumulated over the years (OEM bits I was keeping, parts I’d swapped out but wasn’t prepared to get...
It's so nice to be getting into the details of what you're getting up to! :)
The trip down to Los Angeles was fantastic and always a highlight to be seeing roadster friends in Oregon and Northern California before getting back to my other home. I'd been collecting parts for...
Getting a lift was going to accomplish two key goals, increasing the indoor storage space for the Roadsters and making working on them easier. I’d never pulled a wrench on my own cars until I got my...
Since I don’t really want this to be *that* kind of build thread, I’ll save you all the details of the hammering, nailing, swearing, siding, roofing, shouting, cost overruns, material delays, labor...
Just as the pandemic kicked off we were finishing the process of buying a house in Canada. After twenty years of moving countries for my career, we’d decided it was time to start charting a course...
With my first Canadian winter in over 20 years behind me, I finally have a lot more empathy for the rest of you who are used to hibernating your Roadsters for the winter. This year may have been...
Isn't that the car that just won the Moss competition? Gotta say, her Roadster spirit is strong!!
