The second half of the '90s saw the arrival of a renewed Ford Fiesta, though still clearly based on its 1989 predecessor (which remained in production as the Fiesta Classic). New nose and tail, engines and interior were among the changes for what was then the UK's best-seller. #carbluesky

316i REPRESENTATION but also... auto and posh single-touch windows? What is this, a luxury car? #carbluesky

Bored.
No racing for another couple of months. My lawn is still covered with all that shitty snow.
So, here's some shots from my in-car camera taken at Summit Point last Fall.
Camera car is a 1275 MG Midget

Nissan's complex late-'80s Sunny line-up in Europe was actually a mishmash of two ranges. The hatchbacks and saloons derived from the Japanese-market Pulsar range, while the estate and coupé were 'proper' Sunnys (also known as Sentras in export markets such as the USA). #carbluesky

This should be the last one (or now 😉).
Some of the dozens of MX-5s I race with here in our eastern USA vintage events.

For whatever reason, thinking about the time I was stumbling home from the bar at my birthday 3 years ago and I saw a F430 Scuderia streetparked. Some would say it’s a sign, I would say you’re optimistic. Still cool asf #carbluesky

Here's even more MX-5s I race with in our eastern USA vintage events.

Here's some more MX-5s I race with. I can actually beat some of the slower Mazdas with my Midget

I race my Midget in our small-bore vintage class. A few years ago, we allowed 1.6 NA MX-5 Miatas to race with us. There was some mixed feelings, but the Mazdas have generally behaved well and have fit in with our vintage racing ethos. Here's some MX-5s I race with
