    Noir and I are back online...

    Palooza is done.

    She and I made it down and back. Yes. Some scuffs and scrapes. But we had a blast!

    This was MiataPalooza! But in that same note it was not. Miata were everywhere. But it was the fellow nutz in a close proximity! We are a strange crowd!

    I can rattle off a list of rides that I have owned and never have I been to an event that had as much passion inspired gatherers as this one.

    The sights. The sounds. Wow!

    And for all of you that feel the love between Agent Orange and myself. Bam!



    Damn is that a Hammerhead infiltrating?

    I had the privilege of helping out at the event. Yes, my sorry arse got in bed and up on time to help set up the 'Palooza tent. Then on to helping Adam's venue.

    Many times have I spoke of his customer-centric attitude. If you ever get the privilege to work beside this guy you may be humbled!

    What you see when you order from him and receive your wares is but a glimpse of this very special fellow's soul for our community! Adam breathes Miata!

    One of my most cherished shots of the whole event is Adam taking the selfie with Doge. You could feel the joy!



    I do have some updates for you fellow nutz, soon. And it is not just me washing the pollen off the black paint every day. ;-)

    A blast indeed! The cars yes but for me mostly because of this wonderful, strange tribe we are!!

    I almost made it into the shot. Too bad I'm too fat to run fast.

    I read this yesterday and have been trying to put words together to convey my thanks for this beautiful sentiment, but I can't. Words are failing. So I'll just say thank you.

    And also thank you for the amazing help all day!!! I could not have done it otherwise.

    Yes, the shakedown run went longer than planned. So, I ran out of day. Will get some more pics. up soon. And might have to tweak the angle. She stuck like HD hook-n-loop tonight!

    Peace!

    Adam. It was my pleasure! Hope you and I can kick back one day and let Sharka, or Bucky, or Stormy and Noir hang while we toss back a few. With stories of our younger years.

    Peace my fellow nut!

    And I am trying to get my order sorted.

    There is too much stuff in my Man / Pug cave. The guest room is full. The construction/ computer room. The yard and driveway. The next purchase is a dry-erase board for a true build timeline.

    And the first project is not Miata.

    Anyone interested in a '95 Impreza 4-door with a 2.2 swap and an '02 L.L. Outback for an EZ-30 swap? Both complete cars. Just sayin'.
