Skip,



It's a Sebring, the usual kind, nothing new.  Actually pretty popular here.

 Of roughly 100 Miatas in Manila, 20 have the Sebrings (a rough estimate). 

They also offer a factory installation of a Greddy turbo (there are 3

already here).



As far as I know, no BEGIs yet...



The thing is, the prices are outrageous!  The Sebring is roughly $4500!!! 

The Greddy, $2000!!!



Arrrggg....



A hundred Miatas, and no club!!!  Mazdaspeed Philippines abandoned its

plans of setting up a club.  I'd do it but I'm really too busy...well,

someday....
