In that first photo in the video, the gentlemen second from the left is Norman Garrett, one of the engineers who worked on the NA Miata. I had him for 2 classes in college and he was cool as shit. It's not a surprise at all that the other madmen behind the Miata were also dope.

I met Bob and his twin brother up in the canyons of the Hollywood Hills. We all used to race up there between Coldwater Canyon and Mullholland. Bob and Jim were incredibly funny and we always had a good time talking cars. They both spoke Japanese too. We loved the Lotus Elan, so when Bob worked at Mazda, he was able to get them to recreate the Lotus by making the Miata. Really happy for his success.

Also, there’s a movie about us inspired by a magazine article about our canyon racing. Called “King of the Mountain,” it starred Harry Hamlin and Dennis Hopper playing crazy as usual. It’s laughably bad. In the peak years there would be at least a hundred people watching from “the pits” at the top of the hill, with tow trucks waiting for mishaps.

The cut short one was my fave.

@crawford323 19 күн бұрын

I proudly own a 1990 NA and I am the 5 th owner. It is a local car and all of the owners, have been acquainted. I possess the complete history of the car and own the original shop manual used to prep the car for its initial sell when purchased from the show room floor. I cannot tell you how many times I have told the Miata Story. How the car model came to be is unique and his chance meeting with the chairman of Miata, changed the future for the better for drivers world over. This sums it up. My wife ask me once, " Do you know why I love the little red car?" No. I replied " Because it makes you smile." Driving a piece of automotive history does make me smile.

Guys you struck absolute gold with Bob Hall, find some way to have him be part of things moving forward. Build him a 'home studio' anywhere he wants and let him crack jokes, fire you into segways or offer opinions. You can't run into someone this good and natural and not find a way to have him as part of the team.

"We worked on it so long we didn't see the problem." Whether you're a detective on a cold case, a colorist on a blockbuster, or that guy trying to troubleshoot his dead-in-the-water Miata, this is a problem we all ultimately face at one time or another. Being humble enough recognize that and cede even a small portion of creative control over our work can bring significant benefits. Bob Hall seems like an excellent colleague and the first person you'd want to have around at any social gathering.

Well also it helps to talk the real creator inventor and designer of the Eunos Roadster Masakatsu Kato. This guy here absolutely did NOT create invent or have anything to do with the design of the car it was completely done by Masakatsu Kato. The real Father of the Miata which is actually called the Eunos.

Re the leaking at the car wash; It's a feature of a lot of convertibles. Car washes use high pressure water sprayers which will force water into a car through any gap or loose area in the top. That usually doesn't happen with rain (i owned a Spitfire and a TR-6). I was a Mazda driver for a long time. I had a GLC, 323, 626, and four Mazda3's (not all at once). Never had a Miata because they were either too small to fit my drums into or too expensive. Now i drive a 2011 Mini Cooper which is fun to drive and has some room for my instrument. I have to admit that i kinda like the new Mazda3 hatchback, though...
