Welcome and thanks for visiting!
Thanks to Bill Worrell's Auto Body for refinishing my front bumper and air dam! It needed it -- so many stone chips over the years! Looks BRAND NEW!

MY 2000 MAZDA MIATA IS SELECTED FOR THE "MIATA-FILE:"
ON DISPLAY AT THE DEL-VAL MIATA CLUB'S 20TH YEAR CELEBRATION -- MAY 2, 2010:
This picture by Louis of the LVMOC! It was taken on the 2008 Drive to Survive on October 5th, 2008!
THE STRIPE IS HERE! See Page 8 for more pics and information!
To go with the stripe, I picked up a set of ENKEI RPF1 wheels wrapped in Toyo R1Rs.
I finally made the leap to 15"!
Since the center caps for these wheels are sold separately and cost $25 a piece, I picked up centers for the Konig Helium wheels (they snap in when you remove the spring) and covered the Konig logo with carbon fiber trim. . .

I purchased my 2000 Mazda Miata on November 8, 2002 from the now defunct Z & W Mazda in Princeton, NJ. Oddly enough, I didn't install my first mod. on the car (a Buck's Diamond Grille) until October of '03. Here's a picture I took of the car as soon as I got it home. Notice the dealer licensing on the front fascia. Yuck!
The car has really come along over the past couple of years as I've become more enthusiastic OR OBSESSIVE about it. I've also had a lot of fun with the Delaware Valley Miata Club as I've been a member since March of '03. Here's a picture of me at Del-Val's Rock Hall Crab Run of July 20, 2003. Some 55 Miatas were seen serpentining along Maryland's Route 298. I go on this run every year!
Over the past couple years I've tagged along on many Del-Val Runs; all but one provided top-down motoring. Here's a fun pic. of my decorating skills for the Club's entry into the 2003 Hatboro Holiday Parade. As you can see, my decorating skills really sucked that day! So did my fashion sense. :-)
My brother Dan's '99 got a better reception from the crowd due to its PHILADELPHIA EAGLES color scheme.
If nothing else, Del-Val runs are teaching me how to take pictures while driving! This picture is from Del-Val's Flemington Mazda Tech Session and run of June '05; the subject is Hunterdon County's Round Valley Reservior. See the Miatas in the distance?
Here's a cool pic of a Black NB about to drive through the Smith Bridge, which spans the Brandywine River just South of the Pennsylvania Line in Delaware. This picture is courtesy of Del-Val's Brandywine Valley Covered Bridge Run of July '05.
CONGRATULATIONS! to my brother Andy on the August 24th purchase of a 2003 Mazda Miata LS with only 3000 miles on it! Now, once again, there are two Miatas in the family!
Had fun with the Lehigh Valley Miata Owners Club (LVMOC) on their Run to the Yuengling Brewery on Saturday, August 27 2005. I am now a member of TWO Miata Clubs!
