Walk us through your Miata

[oldgrayleather]

Not a Roadster but.. bugger it, I've been wanting to make this walkaround of my Carib.

This is the car that answers the question .. What is a 4x100 4WD Estate ? There aren't many answers to this question.

Great overview of a car I never knew existed! Love the fact your daughter even got to be involved in this one too with her Cuqui addition to your livery!!

Wanting to keep this thread alive and in case some of you missed it in James' build thread, here's a walk around of a couple of his fleet!

For the record I have made a video 3 times but never been happy with the results(lighting, forget things, etc) so will try again in the next few days.

C'mon Chad, this is a safe place. We're not gonna roast you

No worries. I wouldn't be surprised if others have done the same. I know I did several attempts, talked to my friend Daniel about his for Bulma, and we shared similar expereinces.

Turns out talking to a camera feels weird and messes with ya. And then doing it all in one take? Bound to be mistakes.

I started one yesterday and felt super awkward doing it. People driving by looking at me, my finger getting in front of the lens. I will try again after work in a secluded spot.

Use the premise as if you are at a car meet and somebody asks you about your car.

These aren’t TopGear segments.

Don't feel guilty if you miss things - It's not possible to cover it all. My walkarounds have been 2nd take after I use the first one to just warm up my voice for 30 seconds and remember how to hold the phone correctly. If you're obsessed with details put'em on a postit note and run through them that way.

It's a bit weird like a public speaking thing, but that's a great skill to develop.

I will attempt it again today. Its a bit warmer and the sun is out so you will get to see the shine on certain areas. But since I am going to do it, I might as well do it big.

Things that caused me to stop and start over:

- Said something that I thought was (or sounded) stupid.
- My brain couldn't keep up with my mouth.
- Forgot, then remembered something.
- Just went way off track.
- Hand slipped and caused the phone to stop recording.

I just eventually powered through with what could be described "kindly" as excessive "personality." And I still forgot to mention the stock R-pack trunk spoiler.

Finally got around to making a video!

And here is Just another silver NB.

Its funny how both of our Silver hardtops have red underneath and red showing along the rear window.

IDK where I saw it but I saw it once and heard it from another that all hardtops were painted red initially or they used a red primer? I doubt its true but even my Eunos has the same thing going on on its hardtop.
