Rockstar! Thanks Martin for taking care of this so quickly without any prompt...

Socially distanced KINOD has begun again and Sunday a number of locals drove up to Santa Barbara as part of a Roadster cruise Kevin organized. Genuinely appreciate how spoiled we are here. In anticipation of the event and courtesy of Randy's last shipment I'm now finally proudly sporting the MR.net sticker!



Lending to the fact I'm very untalented with a camera I didn't take any pictures but a few of the attendees sent me their dumps of shots they took of my car. I've asked for more group shots but wanted to share these in the interim...

As with every cruise we typically meet in a single location, welcome old friends and newcomers alike, talk cars, ask and answer questions and generally just enjoy the company. Lots of chat about different approaches to our builds, the journey of tracking down (of manufacturing) our parts and the endless debates about forced induction vs stoked ITB projects, etc,..







We aligned on the route (with the usually friendly debate about the trade-offs between scenery and timeliness) and then we set off to inevitably enjoy the scenery of the 25 or so Miati on the drive...

Mike's stunning NA - the only thing better than the craftsmanship he's personally put in to the car is what a fantastic guy he is,..



I didn't manage to capture my rear view mirror being completely filled with roadsters but pretty much wherever you looked there would be at least one...



A great way to get out and stretch our legs as always (preverbally and literally) before turning around and heading home. And with that I'll close with a random assortment of some of the great shots others took of Benny...

Good to see Mike still in that car.

One of the things I miss most through the lockdowns is meeting with car friends and having car talks. You are very lucky that you have such a nice community locally.

Aye, I want to build something similar where I am :-) there's some KDDs (quedadas) but they're all more inland and urban + I think there's plenty scope for C&C and (ahem) a drive somewhere nice, closer to the water. Big inspiration :-)
