since I saw Fiat 124 spider I'm not sure if MX-5 will be my Z4 replacement :)

Hey Julie!  Long time no see
Yours was built on 12-12-12.  Neat
With the weather being nice the last couple of weeks, I've been really wishing I had it.  It is for the better that I get it next spring though, will be kind of fun getting the status updates

Would be great to have a coffee with you once I get it & we can do a comparo

Yeah, the wait is long, but when you think back on it, you'll remember the anticipation and it's always a fun memory.

For sure! Would love to meet up and do a comparo. The ND's the miata to get.

Checked out a white GT and a black GX both 6 speed manual while I had my car in for a quick service. What a great car. That manual top is beyond easy to use.

It is.  I liked it a lot in pictures but LOVED it in person.

That's awesome Weels, you're going to love it!  Congrats!!!  Can't wait for April to get mine out again.

I checked out the 2016 MX-5 at Detroit and instantly feel in love with it. Why can't we have two cars? Hoping to get a ride in Weels' this spring.

No way in hell I'm going to test drive an ND Miata unless I'm prepared to write a cheque on the spot.

The missus: "Sell the 94 and we'll talk about the new one as long as I get a new RAV in there too..."

 >:(

Like a spoiled brat I want both!  And I'm way too cheap to buy a new Miata AND a new RAV, so...

I'm sure we can make that work.  You might have to get in line though... the two most excited people about this thing are my mother and mother-in-law.. they ask me about it on a weekly basis.  My 85 year old mother can't wait to go for a ride

Would a 1:18 scale RAV do?   What?? No, I don't know a good divorce lawyer...   :P

I haven't had any status updates since last November that it was put into the schedule at factory... I'd think that some nice Japanese robots have assembled it by now.  Will have to send an email to my dealer to see what's up.  Still going with assumption of late March delivery

What a terrific choice - I'd have a hard time waiting - when I sign I can barely wait for them to prep the damned car.  :rofl2:  Gonna be sweet!

Apparently the MX-5 is floating somewhere on the Pacific.  Update from Mazda HQ:


Hi Weels :)
 

Just got an update from Mazda, we are on track for March.

Your new Mazda is has left Japan and is on the ship at Sea :)
