Oh yeah....Tam was giving me s*** last night. Said I was like a kid at Christmas, over a silly car. haha No new car for right now. Not a lot of wiggle room in the budget for a payment and with plunking over $3500 into the P5, my plan is to ride her hard 'til the wheels fall off. Sadly, that same money invested in the P5 came from the Miata fundage so that is on hold for ahwile too.



Congrats!!! Rather than incur the expense of moving, why not buy a Vespa for the commute?

Great idea to go hands free, have fun shopping!



Nope, had thought about it some time ago but Friday is our daughter's 16th bday and wasn't sure what plans we had for the weekend.

Happy B-day to your daughter and enjoy it Jeff ..

Jeff, Glad to hear the P5 is on the road again. Too bad about the miata fund.

Phone bit the dust today. Ordered a Nexus 4. Be phoneless till Thursday.

nice choice on nexus 4 , screen might not be as responsive but thats small price for its performance and do fet the "bumper" from google it'll come handy ..

Good morning! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Spicy is running again and is going on the dyno to be finish the tuning. The Doc B oiling system has improved the pressure and the Haltech has been the best investment to date. Good bye SS AFC and the factory ECU fighting it. We should have her at Mid Ohio for the Corral.

what # you plan to get, if you're looking for BBK I'll be getting rid of my ROTORA, under 4k used, I'd like to see a clip of dyno run .. not too many ppl playing with msp lately .. (including me) lol

so the wheel and tire dilemma/saga contines...tire was suppose to be here yesterday and rim tomorrow...so far no tire and the rim, well i called brian this am and he checked and apparently inventory was one bronze rim but in the box was a black one..go figure! so i had him send me the black one and he "helped" me out...this way i can send the bad rim out for repair and have something to ride around on other than the donut!

 

[CTt3P5]

Great news Marlon!

Thanks Tony!

Damn Mark, that sux to hear. So are you keeping the black wheel as a 'spare' or worked something out to send it back once your other wheel is fixed? If so, that is pretty damn cool of the guy.

well....not exactly, but he cut me a deal and i don't mind have a "real" spare now!

You'll fit right in with the Brockton crowd Mark with your mismatched rims. That's just as bad as the donut!

At least he cut ya a deal and you won't have to worry about the donut. Time to get a rack (a la the NA) for the trunk to carry that full size spare around. hahahahaha You could always get a basket for the roof but that defeats the whole drop top thing.

70+ miles on a Vespa would not only take 4 hours, but man I'd hate life at the end.

Nice, too bad they put in a rotary.

Mark, when you have issues, you have issues.

G'day

70+ miles on a Vespa would not only take 4 hours, but man I'd hate life at the end.

LMAO...just a thought. Of course you get that faster and with just a good a tan driving the Miata with the top down.
