For when I used to get snow flurries that buried the 5.0L Miata in the driveway less than 1.5 hours after our winding 11 day road trip back from Florida 6+ years ago where we stumbled across our new home on the way back. :rofl:

Lol

24x24 garage I had in PA several years ago: Birkin across the back ERA 289FIA Cobra in the upper left hand side of two car garage 94 Laguna Blue Miata "R" in the middle 69 GT 500 Shelby (or wife's subaru ) on the right Add in the usual tool box, snow blower bicycles, etc and I could still get in and out of all four and drive at least 3 of them out of the two 8 foot doors with no jockeying. With a little finesse, and wheel dollies, I could have put another Caterham or Cobra replica inside

And which one of these two represents you this evening :rofl:

That reads great, until you realize that the spammer is actually a BOT written by a 8 year old, using a vintage Intel 80386 he picked up for a dollar at a local garage sale :rofl::svengo::jester:

Being in your shoes elsewhere on the web, I (we) appreciate your hard work. Not certain why the uptick recently (not just here), perhaps a spammer with deeper pockets for a smarter programmer. We shall adapt and overcome. Bill

Don't bother opening the PM from "PamelaBow" just another attempt at a spammer to waste your time :smash: Yes, it has been reported :rofl: Bill

And yet, both extremely fun to drive :party: Just saying

On the flip side, I drove the 2.5L Durtatec powered 06 to Tom Cotter's Woody party early this AM. I was the only miata there .

Tires in the background give it away

I'm wondering the backstory, as I have never seen this car here in Greenville, never.

Look at the "Spam-O-Matic" plug in for Vbulletin https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=248042 As a global mod on another site, we had 100's of spammer accounts set up each week, after installing the plugin, maybe 1 or 2 a quarter get through now. Most spammers are automated bots, once they find a sites weakness, they exploit it forever.

This type of thinking gets bantered around at various make/model specific forums for years. This issue being that only a small part of the enthusiasts and owners/sellers visit such sites. Add in the usual supply vs demand vs new enthusiasts on this site vs the older ones. The bottom line here is a simple one, sites like this were started by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, when you start throwing values around, greed ultimately rears it's ugly head, and then the site is no longer about enthusiasts, but about resale value. Ultimately, the choice is with each buyer and seller, they, and only they can decide on what is and what is not a fair market value for a specific car, color, or drivetrain combination. As a seller, you can ask whatever you want for a car, as a buyer, I can then decide whether the car fits my wants and needs, and whether the value is comparable with others on the market, again remembering, this site, and sites like it are just a microcosm of the marketplace. Just my two cents worth on this particular subject, posted both from a buyers and sellers perspective, one who never looked at any of the cars I've owned as "investments", just "toys to have fun with". Bill

Congratulations on the new purchase, you and your wife are going to love it.

Having owned a few RHD imports over the years, I'd say this one http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/usedcars/BIRKIN/BIRKIN_SEVEN/700903047530180405001/index.html at roughly $18,000 USD+ the sub $2,000 RO/RO shipping is not a bad deal. Insurance wise, as long as you have an existing policy and a good track (no pun intended) record, I've yet to have an issue with getting insurance for a RHD import.

Rick M. is top notch, you could not have picked a better guy to assist you with your 7

I like it

From 2011, really?

Two separate firewall programs (on two different networks) are coming up with a "JSCoinminder Website 2" web attack warning and block. Just thought I post this for the admins to look into a little more carefully. Bill S.

Mark that as a relist, as it has been for sale for almost two years now

Rick, First, welcome to the site, you'll find these guys a wealth of knowledge and always happy to assist. Second, have you figured out a way to get a 427 FE in to one yet:jester: Bill S.

I'm from the early days of the web, where I used to see such posts marked "Look at this cool car I found for sale, what a great deal" , 99% of the time being posted by the seller :banghead:

Post from our own site on the sale/purchase of this car: http://www.usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?11297-Superformance-S1-35-found-a-new-home Of course if you look at the origin of post 1525 in the long running "look what I found on the web" for sale thread of Croc's, you'll notice the innocent "look what I found" post by "Driven" Two sites for SPF owners, really geared towards the Cobra replicas, but they do have a knowledge base for the S1 owners buried deep within. Sadly, they have changed their format over the years, so you have to own a SPF before you can join and see within their private forums. http://www.secondstrike.com/ or http://superformance.org/scof/ There is also a SPF subforum on Clubcobra, again, really geared towards the roadsters/coupes.

Paul, Before you go get your title, you'll need a letter from the California DMV office explaining the "0000" model year to the PA DMV. Even using the same notary, I've had to submit a copy of the letter to the PA MVS office each time. Bill S.

Paul, PA uses "PA licensed" Notary services for the title swap. My sound advice as an Ex-PA resident who titled more than my fair share of "replicas" (mostly Cobra and Lotus 7's), is that you do a straight title swap first. Once title is in hand you can then get a set of plates and valid registration. Keep it simple, do not use the word kit or replica while at the notary office as to throw up a red flag of any kind. PA should take your CA title at face value, regardless of whether it was done using the SPCNS (and SB100) process or not. Bill
