Meet Moss and Roy

March 19, 2009 – A&W Norcal Roadsters Meet

Below are photos from the weekly Norcal Roadsters meet.  Most pics came out bad since lighting was low and I didn’t use a tripod.

It was nice to see such a big turnout, a little surprising even, but I found it a little unwelcoming and distanced.  Those that I did meet were nice, but I definitely wanted to learn more on what I can do with Roy from experienced Miata folks.  My experience at a previous meet, Wing Stop @ Union City, with MOCC members kinda spoiled me with the initial expectations of meets. Next time… <3

Twilight or Midnight Blue?

I like how the cars are staggered, but not the Sentra (wrong meet?)!

(The MSRP for the 1993 Miata LE in 1993 clocked in at $22,000.  In today’s dollars that would be $32,146.)

I purchased Roy 3/15/09 with approximately 76k miles.  We drove him back to San Francisco from Los Angeles and even though I was worried about how the long distance would affect this 16 year old car, we made it home safely! Along the way, the CD player stopped working; this is probably due to driving in the heavily traveled right lane on Hwy 5.

The photo was taken at a pit stop along Hwy 5; I’m not sure where exactly we are because everything was pretty much the same for 300 miles.

Considering the age of the car, the paint was in exceptional condition.  There were some scratches and dings that can be easily repaired.  The plastic housing for the rear lights were a bit faded and needed some polishing.  All in all, minor repairs and some TLC is all Roy really needs!
