    Iconic Miatas, which one inspires you?

    As we try to imagine what the next generation Mazda Miatas will look like, I though we might have some fun looking back at some iconic Miatas of the past & present 25 years that have inspired us.

    This thread will be a place we can refer back to remember the Miata's and owners that inspired us to perhaps; buy a Miata, or work on our Miata, race our Miata, or build something unique with our Miata.

    These should be Miatas that are INSTANTLY recognizable on the street, where if you saw it you would say, "hey, wow, that is (insert name)'s Miata!"

    Here are the RULES, PLEASE READ:

    PLEASE DON'T LINK TO OTHER FORUMS !!! People don't want to have to register on other forums just to read a thread. You can nominate anyone on this forum, with the exception of yourself, ONLY ONE NOMINATION PER POST PLEASE. If it is already listed by someone else please do not list it again, instead just click the "Thanks Given" tab. Mods and Admin please wash the thread if there is any thread derailment, dup posts, troll posts, good buddy/friend nominations, and / or self nominations, those will get purged so egos get checked at the door.
    If you don't follow the rules, mods will delete, period.


    I will start us off with a Miata that most all of us will know.


    The Blue Potato, Peter's 1995 Laguna Blue Pitcrew Conversion.

    More info here ---> http://mazdaroadster.net/showthread.php?8635

    This Miata pretty much started life as a stock 1995 Laguna Blue with black cloth interior. And the owner Peter Brusa was an all around great guy.

    There's actually three that have inspired me to go in the direction I have with Betty. revlimiter and Sharka, oldcafe and The Italian Job, and R2Limited (new owner revrseat70) and Rooster. All three of them have a serious vintage vibe going on that has me chasing that same look as well.

    But, being that I can only nominate one, I'll have to go with oldcafe's The Italian Job. When I first saw his tan interior I knew I was going in the right direction.

    What I think is one of the finest examples of form and function working together. Shame that it had such a short life.
