    Cool Hi from Houston Tx.

    Hi everybody. I've been lurking here for a little bit, but haven't gotten around to making account because I hadn't until just recently owned a Miata. I guess I'll give you guys a little bit of my history. I got into cars about two years ago now, because of a show called Inital D.(I'm sure everybody had heard of it) My girlfriends grandparents next-door neighbor was selling a 87 Rx-7. Drove the car out of it while it was running, but the poor thing spent more time in my garage than out. December of 2012 I decided to sell my daily and the Rx-7 to buy something I could really out some time into, but still use as a daily. A week later I had a 100% stock 95 Nissan 240sx. I loved the car, but I constantly received negative attention. The local 240 scene is riddled with hooligans and thieves. So because of this and a few mechanical problems that came up I decided to sell my 240. I ended up deciding I wanted a Miata. Most Mazda guys car a little bit more about there cars and actually like to take there cars to the track. After a few weeks of looking I found a 91 British Racing Green Na with only 44k miles and a matching hardtop. The guy selling it was actually selling it for his father who was no longer able to drive because of medical complications. After discussing our situation the seller and I came to an agreement and I had myself a new to me Mazda Miata. I currently haven't done anything to the car aside from a bunch of maintenance. I'm currently saving for a roll bar and new tires so I can take it to a autocross to get a little bit of driving experience.

    I'll have some pictures posted soon. I didn't realize until just now that I hadn't take any pictures of my car. Once the weather clears up I'll dust off my dslr and try and snap a picture or two for everybody.

    Sorry about not posting any pictures earlier. I had a few things to do around the house so I didn't get a chance to take pictures until right before sunset.
    I didn't think to take any interior pictures until I was uploading these. The interior isn't anything special. Just a super ugly head unit and a very sticky dash.

    Welcome to the site, and a special handshake for having a BRG! Nice looking ride! 44k!!!!! that's amazing. Do you know the build number of your car? They made under 4000 of them, and most came with a small plaque that showed the production number of your car (Special Edition).

    -Jim
