M2 also builds a more sedate model, the M1002. It was profiled in the Summer
'93 issue of Miata Magazine. Quite a nice-looking car.

BTW: the Danube Blue Mica the M1002 comes in sounds a lot like Rob Bymaster's
description of the new-for-'94 Miata blue. At least if they were going to
discontinue my cars's blue they picked a good color to replace it with.

Lets see, a Danube Blue '94 R-1 would look pretty nice, gotta check them out
when they come in :-).
