Well, I'm about to set off for a three hour drive (in a downpour) to see my girlfriend. I will be driving the 91 318 convertible, and am really excited (if you couldn't tell by this post)

Any central illinoisers gonna be at the Sunday Autocross in Rantoul? Hopefully I will be able to convince her to go, I think I might get her to, although I doubt I can get her to drive (what is so hard about a stick shift?)

mtn What town do you live in? If you live close to Chicago I can tell you about some really good autox events with lots of timed runs like 9-12.

I'm about twenty minutes from Wisconsin. I think that my dad and I are autocrossing with Wisconsin Autocross this year; the only reason I might be going to Rantoul is because I am trying to get my girlfriend to go with me; she's in Bloomington right now.

Windy City Miata's put on nice events. When I was autocrossing regularly I went to a couple of their events and had a blast. Usually pretty tight courses.

You missed a good event. We had great weather & everybody got a minimum of 6-runs.

I'm almost, kinda-sorta, starting to get a feel for this RWD thing. Maybe I won't trade my Miata for a Rabbit, at least, not yet.

Rust free A1? No such thing ever existed!

How 'bout an A5? Its alot like an A1 except its actually reliable, comfortable, and not a death trap.

It even has a little red grill detailing to tickle that A1 GTI nostalgia itch.
