Miafun1 — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:04:28 GMT

Many Thanks to the Rafferty's for hosting a Tech Day at their facility in Arthur on Saturday, April 11, 2008! There was lots of conversation and some adding of accessories to the cars and even some maintenance and repairs.

A fine lunch was enjoyed and some new friendships made. There was at least 12 MX-5's in their garage at one time!

Ziata — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 02:33:13 GMT

Is there anyone as of yet thinking of going to the Pow Wow? I am not sure where to go for info. I am not sure of hotels. I heard that some signed up for the Charleston. I understand it is full already. Thanks

Interesting story .. ship full of Mazdas salvaged

Warning!

The language in this article/video can be rather "harsh".

Amazing, interesting, distressing to see MX-5's among the 4000-odd cars from the "Cougar Ace" that were destroyed.

New Tires

LK2FLY — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 05:10:22 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking to buy new tires for my '92 Miata in the next couple of days. Does anyone have any recommendations? I like to drive rather aggressively on curvy roads and I place a fair amount of highway miles on the car in wet and dry weather. I'm not inclined to take it out in snow or ice Any advice and/or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

David

I want to start this forum to get eveyones opinion on the trip. I believe we are going to leave Friday morning. It is an 8 hour drive. I believe check in time is 4. WE left around 7-8 and was there before check in. There really wasnt anything going on at the Hotel. They have the tech inspection and I believe that a vendor our two where getting set up. So I will post new info here as I get it and hope this well help organize the trip for us. Thanks Doug

Vibration/Shimmy

LK2FLY — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 21:09:11 GMT

I get a fairly significant vibration when I�m traveling about 65 mph in my 1992 (Pkg B) Miata. At 60 or 70 it�s not noticeable but quite a distraction at 65? I�ve heard folks say that this is common and refer to it as �the 65 mph shimmy� but I�d like to know if anyone has had any luck correcting it� making it go away. Thanks for any assistance you may provide.

2007 Cruises

Anonymous — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 22:39:48 GMT

Hi Everybody.

I have some ideas about cruises in the coming year that we can discuss at the October meeting. Among them are a ride on the Great River Road (for us retirees) and maybe a weekend trip to Mackinaw Island. A day trip - or overnight to some of the IL State Parks like http://www.trails.com/tcatalog_trail.asp?trailid=XGP203-001 or maybe even Southern IL. I would like to see if we can join up with the St Louis Club for one of their drives.

Welcome to our new Abe Lincoln Miata Club Forum!
