Wierd colored Miata….

I saw the coolest color of Miata (pre-99) last night – it
was a deep plum.  Was that an aftermarket paint job, or
were they ever really that color?

Re: 99 and electric door locks

I don’t know for sure if that’s how it supposed to work; but my ’99 works
exactly the way you describe, so I’m guessing that’s how it is.  No
gratuitous display of gallantry shall go unpunished!  ;-)

Won't Start After Stall

I just purchased at 94 Miata with a manual transmission.  Since I haven’t
driven a stick for many years, I’ve managed to stall the car a few times this
week.  And each time the car won’t start immediately (although it will always
start initially)…..this only happens when it stalls.  All I can find on this
in the owners manual is a brief mention of having the clutch all the way down,
which I’ve done.  Seems like after I play with the clutch, shift lever and key,
it finally will turn over. BTW, it’s not a battery problem because the dealer
put a new one in the day I bought it.

So I’m wondering if there is some odd procedure I"m not aware of or maybe
there’s another problem?

Thanks for any info!!

(NMC) Re: Bars for Cars

I want a "Wet Bar" with an icebox.
And one of those little cups to hold
the olives.  Beer nuts would be nice.
The napkins would have the new Mazda
logo, of course.

bought a new '97 for $16,800

noone replied to  my 16,500 query so I bit the bullet.   The smart dealers
have gotten rid of theirs.  Our Durham dealer still has a  NEW ’96 on
which he hopes to make a profit
Since he sold an MPV with 18k miles as new, maybe he’ll pull it off.

'99 Collectable Literature

I am also a Ferrari enthusiast for many years, and one of the hobbies I enjoy
is to collect literature of various models, spanning from factory-issued press
kits to sales brochures to posters to third-party magazine articles, etc.
Ferrari is real good about producing lots of in-house documentation and
photographs these days (not true before 1980s).

Is this kind of literature available for 1999 Miata collectors? Specifically:
– Press Kit
– Prints
– Posters
– Banners
– Blue Prints
– Cut-Away Illustrations
– Sales Videos
– Coffee Table Books

I have a sales brochure already. It would be real nice to have a coffee table
book on the redesign and assembly-line production story of the M2, kinda like
the Boxster Book out there (although the M2 redesign is not a landmark story
like the M1, or Boxster). Still, I am taking delivery of a ’99 soon and I’d
like to be able to collect some high-quality collateral about the car.

If anyone knows what I’m looking for and has any information, your feedback
would be appreciated!
