Christina Panchuk bought her 2001 Midnight Blue Mica from a private seller in June, 2005 with 48 kms.  After test driving about 10 Miatas [and finding things wrong with all of them], the moment �I walked up to see her I knew she was the one I had to have�.  The car was already �sale pending�, but to Christina�s luck, the potential buyer had bad credit and couldn't get a loan, so she picked �her� up in a heart beat!  And Christina hasn�t stopped smiling since!  The Midnight Blue Mica is a 6-speed, with an OEM aerokit.  Current mods include an aftermarket stereo, 15 inch Konig Heliums, Compustar alarm with motion sensor, Hard Dog Deuce roll bar, K & N performance intake, Cobalt exhaust and KYB AGX shocks with Eibach Prokit lowering springs.  �Yep, I love this car�!

Brian Petrie is a MG TC [1949 BRG] man from way back, but realized the Miata was something special when his friend, Susan Kiddie, asked him to drive her red Mark 1 all the way back home to Montreal after their trip to Ogonquit in Maine. It was a top down, late afternoon and early evening drive and the car purred along with just enough oomph to get him hooked. After Brian came to Vancouver, one of his stocks [the only one] went ballistic, so he took a fist full of dollars, and went first to Summit Motors [the salesman was a clone of the guy in "Fargo"], and then to Wolfe Mazda. There it was, a fully loaded, grace green mica [BRG to Brian] 1999 Mark 2 with only 19000 clicks on the odometer. Now it's his, YEAH, he adds!

Brian Salisbury's Velocity Red 2004 MazdaSpeed sits in his driveway, ready to be driven absolutely anywhere!  Mods now include a Hard Dog Extreme roll bar, Flyin' Miata down pipe, high-performance intake and throttle body inlet pipe, GFB blow-off valve, air splitter and JIC Magic FLT-A2 coilovers.  205/40/17 Falken Azeni RT - 615s ensure this little puppy sticks to the road through those much sought after "twisties".

Motorcycling was in Lester's blood since 1970, but it wasn't losing a good friend on a motorcycle trip, followed two weeks later by another serious accident involving another friend on a bike, that he decided to "hang up the helmet" and leave the sport with "ALL LIMBS INTACT".  He chatted with his very understanding wife, Sharon, who willingly rode on the motorcycle with him and was along for the ride on that fateful day, and said to her . . . " If I can have a sports car, the bike will be gone tomorrow."  Not long after the 2000 SE appeared and "she" has been a whole lot of fun! This is their 2nd Miata, Sharon having owned an NA in 1989!   Lester has now "flushed" the "bike gene" from his system, and is enjoying the Roadster as much as he did the bike!
