Bob is amazing. You need to have him back as often as he is willing and able.

@jeffmaas9308 Ай бұрын

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.

Bob used to join us for Playstation nights when he lived in Sydney in the early 00's. He was on good terms with the Polyphony Digital team and had all sorts of cool cars (including a lot of custom MX5's) on his playstation memory cards. He'd also tell a lot of good stories too.. Good times!

What in the hell how do you keep this sharp and witty and fast, that was unbelievable! What a legend! I was a Miata fan before, now I might have become a fangirl xD

The wise words of Miata Daddy: "The last designer of the car is the buyer." Wish manufacturers still had this mentality.

Kinda same, I assumed he'd be upset by the mods but as soon as he explained the issue with the first car I was like oh yeah he has a point, then he's also just hype to see all the stuff and is funny as hell, it's nice

"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.

@user-wh1dm6bc9k Ай бұрын

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.

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.

@JohnGeorgeHill Ай бұрын

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.
