| Let's Get Ready to Rumble!
The next meeting will be on Sunday, June 21st at 5 PM at Mirror Lake. Tell your friends and everyone you know who has a Miata. The Alaska Miata Club will bring everything Miata for you to look at and check out for the 20th Anniversary of the Miata. We will have an canopy and give out free Mazda stuff we got. We will be there until 10 PM so come by a little late if you wish we should have parking for you. Come out and bring some drinks and a snack and check out all the other clubs too. Meet other car nuts and enjoy a lovely day of peace and friendship on the longest day of the year. Life's a beach I hope everyone is enjoying their Miatas in this glorious weather we are having. Don't forget to celebrate with us in June for the Rumble at Mirror Lake and in July for the Potluck Picnic in your Miata. Enjoy and be safe out there. 3 Hopefuls, again
It was another gorgeous day in Anchorage and with only three members we waited until 10:30 AM to see if there were any other surprise guests. No, it was only Mike in FD, Blake in SMURF, and Steve in SCRUFFY. Everybody else seemed to be out to include bicyclists and motorcyclists. We met a few Harleys at the Girdwood station. Saw tourists at Beluga Point and even stopped at rest station by Turnagain Pass to see the snowmobilers trying to get a couple more snow days. We took pics with Blake's phone so they will be posted up eventually. I got one of Blake "tagging" a blue NA. We drove to old Hope and the bar was still closed for the season. So, it was back to the Discovery Cafe for some sandwiches and soup. It was also packed and service was a bit slow. But our drive home was a bit quicker. The guys talked about life and Steve clued us in living in Alaska so long. Zoom-Zoom Boxes are here!
I came home from work to find 3 boxes addressed to the AKMC house. We opened them up and were surprised to see all the wonderful stuff from Mazda to help celebrate our 20th Anniversary season. Check out the photo for some of the cool stuff. We are talking things like Mazdaspeed
lapel pins, Mazda LED flashlights, emergency phone chargers, ZOOM-ZOOM stickers, key chains, pens, hats, t-shirts, games, sunshades to really cool things like Picnic packs, Mazda coffee
thermos, and NC models from 1/48th to 1/18th scale which will be actual prizes in games at some events. All these things are for you, the Miata enthusiasts and the other small trinkets will be used to pass along to invite guests to our events this summer! ND coming out in 2012
Mazda is already rethinking the fourth generation of the Miata. It will be radical and most likely have some balls. It might use current concept designs after the Nagare thinking. But whatever they come up with, the ND will still be a light weight, two seat roadster, with rear wheel drive. We will either love it or hate it as one wonders how much better it can possibly get. Quick summary of the three generations:
1989-1998 NA first gen
M1 Pop up lights 1.6 l - 1.8 l Miata Toys Revisited
I was looking around the Miata forums and found this.... MIA and TIA. The next thing I knew, I was at WALMART, found and bought a set. We also played Wii and were racing penny racers which brought these back to memory. See, if you are a Miata nut, there is a Miata for every budget. Check out the MIATA FREAK section of the website.
Fairbanks has "Northern Most Miata"
Jeff sent me a picture to verify that OZINGA has made it to Fairbanks. It was good timing since it was done during the last "heat wave" we had. Take a good look because this Miata will be going through a transformation and will be the most popular Miata in Fairbanks. Jeff now qualifies as an AKMC Fairbanks Representative along with Casey. Congratulations Jeff and we hope to join one of your events next season. Named the "Flaming Carrot" it is now going through a Gloss Black Phase.
When this article originally posted it was for a 2nd generation Mazda Miata for $6,000. That was the cheapest NB for sale I have ever seen. Well, that is sold by now or withdrawn by the owner. As months continued there has been 2 MSMs (Mazdaspeed Miatas) posted, a 2004 Velocity Red and a 2005 Black Mica. Then just when I thought it couldn't get better a 10AE showed up and the price slowly creeps higher. I know this won't last. Out of all the possible collectibles, I would jump and get this one. I have edited this story several times and just made the title a hyperlink to Alaska Craigslist since it changes all the time.
I hope these get you ready for the Miata's 20th Anniversary. Don't forget that there are also NAs on Craigslist and there is a red NA for sale by Mrs. Crain not advertised on Craigslist but on the AKMC For Sale Forum. |
