how the time flies....
Has anyone from all corresponding nation-wide clubs thought about setting up a big \"Show'n'Shine\" day for 2009?
If we can arrange everyone to hold it on the same day, I reckon we can get some TV coverage

I wonder if Mazda would get involved in this as a promo special?

That might be a good job for the new Australian MX-5 Clubs National Liaison person

I would be very surprised (and disappointed) if Mazda Australia didn't lend a helping hand.

That's why I thought of mentioning it now so as to plan it early, and plan it well.
I'm sure some know-it-all boffin can provide actual date of when the first 5 was sold.
Clive, wouldn't the Queen Street Mall be a great place to have row after row of MX-5s?
Hmmmm.... nation-wide synchronisation would be cool..... but hows about world-wide ....

From Wikipedia:
\"The Miata was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 10, 1989, with a price tag of US $13,800. The MX-5, with production code NA, was made available for delivery to buyers worldwide in the following dates: March 1989 in Japan, July 1989 (as a 1990 model) in the U.S.A., 1990 in Europe.\"

I dont want to think about my car being 20 years old, maybe I can qualify for classic club plates then, could be a bonus.

brisbane could make use of the space at southbank that the jaguar car club used a few months back.

Maybe we could use the event to arrange a \"car history\" sheet in the same club format. You know the type, the ones seen at McLeans Bridge where the owner lists the car's year, model number, history, specs, that sort of thing. Could be a little fund raiser if each owner purchased a framed print from the club?
