Miata Mailing List: June 1998, Message #546

Hello everyone,
I've posted one or two random things, but have never formally introduced
myself.  I bought my '94 late November (just got the plates last week...a
bit of a mix-up with the dealership) and have been a happy driving fool
since.  In a little over six months of owning it I have already put over
10,000 miles on it and I haven't even started my summer commute.  I did
Thunderhill (thanks again Ken) and plan on doing Laguna Seca 2 (thanks Aaron).

I've followed the list since the beginning of April (8,944 messages so far)
and have learned lots of valuable info (I'm going to buy a Voodoo knob for
the extra 15 hp).  I just wanted to thank everyone for creating such a fun
email list.

I got my picture (and my car, of course) in the school newspaper, The
California Aggie, because of an AutoX we set up on campus...the web page
with a picture (I'm the driver...don't remember who the passenger
was...everyone wanted a ride) and brief article is:

for any who have a free minute or two.  FWIW I was 3 seconds faster than a
lowered, turboed Integra.
