Recently, I got to drive Sharka to California and back. While there, I had a nice vacation with my family, spent time with some CA folks, attended a KINOD meet.... and went to the Mazda Basement!!!!

I'm slowly blogging about this. It'll take me a few more days. Our small tour group was in there for about 90 minutes with a 90 minute q/a session afterwards. I took around 350 photos.

To see more pix and read my ramblings about the Basement Race Cars, hit my blog (http://revlimiter.net/blog/2017/05/mazda-basement-tour-race-cars/). I don't wanna just copy the post here.

I'll have Road Cars in my next blog post. And after that will be the Miatas.

Mazda Basement Road Cars
(except for Miatas)

That's right - there's no Miatas in this one. I shot so many pix that I thought keeping the Miatas in their own post would be the best way to go.

Hit my blog (http://revlimiter.net/blog/2017/05/mazda-basement-tour-road-cars/) to check out all of the pix. There's over 30.

I've got a bunch of Miata pix from the basement on my blog at long last. There's 25 pix and that's not including the M Coupe or the NB Concept car. Those two will be in my last Basement blog post.

Check out the post here. (http://revlimiter.net/blog/2017/05/mazda-basement-tour-the-miatas/)

Oh here we go! Love that yellow! Come to think of it, that orange isn't so bad either.

That yellow M coupe is perfect. Not only the shape (looks so fresh and classy at the same time), but also that particular tone of yellow is stunning

Moar M coupe content plz!

Agree with Pete, the M Coupe is one of the most iconic and flowing vehicles ever. Shame it never saw production.

Same cannot be said for that NB prototype, god that's ugly
