OMG, that is hysterical! I really, really hope that your main "real British sportscar experience" is the thrill of taking the hairpins going too fast to be "safe" and yet somehow your tires never lose traction. That is one of the most magical things. :)

About those leftover parts: Mr. efoveks' TR7 started life as a TR8, was shipped all the way to the US, and THEN US Customs decided they weren't going to allow it in. At least not as a TR8. It then went back to England and was retrofit as a TR7. It now has a wiring harness of which Sarah Winchester would be hugely proud, and a nonstandard distributor cap (among other random weirdness). Oddly, because 'why not?' I guess, the fuel injector is a standard Bosch.

Your Miata looks like it is enjoying the view! :) I love riding around the hills, and it looks like you do, too. (Mr efoveks does the driving. I don't drive a stick, and besides, he used to build & drive hot rods so you can imagine what it's like to drive with him as a passenger!) Convertibles are so perfect for it, don't you think? It makes me really miss living in the Bay. I live in Stockton, so we usually go driving through the Gold Country foothills. NOT the same. My best friend and I used to go out to old Hwy 9/ Skyline in her souped up Celica when we were young. (She also used to build hot rods! )
