[smurfy]

Hi Guys,
Just joined. My screen name is "Smurfy," as in "very good" by Papa Smurf.
I have owned a Smurf Blue (Mariner Blue) '90 and a Monster Miata (red). My daughter got my blue NA when she went off to college; my Monster went away because my wife absolutely HATED it (too rough and noisy).
Now I'm retired and ready for another project. My thought is another Smurf with a little extra zip ( but for the street). I would like suggestions. I'm thinking some suspension upgrades, some 15X7 wheels, real roll bar (that fits in hard and soft tops) and , if I have an attack of boredom, a 1.6 to 1.8 exchange.
I also would provide a loving home in Anacortes for an NA (blue or possibly BRG). Because of our drippy weather, I need a hard top. Let me know if you hear of one.
Best wishes,
Buzz
Anacortes, WA

Hi Buzz (Papa Smurfy?)! Welcome to CR.net and thanks for introducing yourself. Does your daughter still have your blue NA?

Keep us posted on what you find and here's to you finding a project soon!

Take care,
Chris

Thanks for your kind welcome(s). This seems like a friendly bunch.
There do seem to be a lot of Washingtonians represented. We are all pretty much cooped up all winter so we need some open air when the sun finally arrives (around June sometimes).
Chris- My daughter, sadly, traded the original Smurf when she graduated and needed a "real car" for her job. Some of us are truly blessed to have room for an impractical toy. I have gone thru 9 Lotuses plus the Miatae (plural of Miata, sp ?).
Best wishes,
Buzz (Smurfy)

Smurfy - I don't have kids so I raise cars instead. My Camaro has been through college and needs to move out. LOL.

Take care,
Chris
