Skip Cannon, a true Miata legend
Hello folks, though not all the material covered in this thread will be Miata related, a good chunk of it will, so please, bear with me.

I met Skip back in September 2010. I was unemployed and flat broke, when a job interview for a job in Denver arose. I got to hang out with Skip after the interview and got to meet face to face a true Miata legend.
For you see, Skip has owned close to forty (40) Miatas, including the Sunburst Miata and still currently owns what is arguably the most famous Sunburst Miata, the "Outhouse" Miata.
The Sunburst Miata has a 1.9 engine, with forged pistons and an NB1 head. It also has a Flyin Miata turbo kit with the 3071 turbo, with a dynoed 300+ bhp at the flywheel. It also currently has a '3 inch FM exhaust. All that is sent to an essentially Mazda factory 5 speed, with an FM clutch.
I'm proud to call and consider Skip Cannon a friend. I'll be adding more pics of Skip's other Miata and not so Miata related toys. Though not a member of this forum (yet) I hope that the members feedback in this thread, will convince Skip to join us.
