May 21, 2008 - I pulled the hardtop off the car the other day.
Hey, it was hot outside! It's the first time it's been topless since the final stripes went on, actually. Naturally, I almost got caught in the rain. Serves me right. A coworker did comment on just how light the car feels down the road. Fair enough, it's about 300 lbs lighter than his!
I've shuffled the cars around in the garage so the Targa car is no longer trapped behind an MG waiting for shocks. So I can get the car out again. I need to focus my preparations on the upcoming TSD - with various non-car events happening most weekends these days, it takes a bit of planning to ensure I get the time I need to finish the work. And of course to figure out what work needs to be done!
I spent some time going through the new regulations and pulled out one or two things that need some attention. Nothing too major (hopefully), but it's good to have the confirmation.
One thing I did notice is that I have to give up the windshield banner to event sponsors. That's a shame, as I matched the look of that banner to the classic Martini look. I'm going to have to find some other place to put the Flyin' Miata logo as well. Hmm, the old Martini cars used to put logos on the roof... |
