Hi there,

I'm a newcomer to this mailing list and I must say that I have enjoyed 
reading the messages that are sent around.  I purchased an 
"experienced" white '91 in April of this year - only 36,000 kms!  It's 
really a great car but you all know that.

I have a few questions that I'm hoping you might be able to shed some 
light on.

1) When I used my windshield wipers on the intermittent setting, just 
before the blades wipe the windshield there is a single click noise.  
Is this normal?

2) The finish on my car is really hard to maintain.  When I first got 
the car I used a light rubbing compound and waxed it and it was ok for 
a short period of time. Now it looks dirty and dull.  Are there any 
products you can recommend to bring the finish back?

3) The smell of gas in my trunk is really bad.  I've read in the Miata 
Club magazine that you should not fill your gas tank too full to 
eliminate this problem so I don't and it still stinks!  Any thoughts on 
how to cure this problem?

My apologies if these topics have already been discussed.  If you have 
any email threads to forward that would be great.
