keyser Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Real Lusso that we need a model of desperately Tennis shoe named Lusso. Frosting on a turd is still a turd.

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) The poor little Miata has had to suffer from several other misshapen blobs of "interpretations" or "re-creations" being mercilessly stretched over it. 250 Testa Rossa: Big Healey...

I know it's a good car with many fans but the Miata in itself is a mild example of Palmerism: Lotus Elan Sprints: Miatas: Edited April 21, 2020 by DonW
keyser Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Funny though. Lotus were Palmer kits that fell apart. Miata were Elans by Tamiya. Said as someone that loves Elans and 26R. Funny aside, how'd you like to be a 1:1 Lotus dealer at the moment? ?☢️ And Bill, thanks for making me need eyewash with my coffee. Edited April 21, 2020 by keyser

Hard to beleive the Siata Spring is from the same company. And the MG TF - ah yes, there is this beauty too (not as far off as your example, in fairness). The Gentry:
stavanzer Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 That Miata Lotus 7 Would look great in my driveway! I'll never have a real "7", and I'd settle for the imitation.

Mom and Dad drove a station wagon and I certainly would not, I am much too cool to be seen driving a station wagon. ? Call them what you want, they are still very much a station wagon.
keyser Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) I drive a wagon. I love wagons. Dyno'd mine at 636/690. Those aren't station wagons. They're SAV's. Not for off road. I hate CUV's, SAVs', and SUV's. Pick one, car or truck. Not both. Here's a nice vid. Not your parents wagon. Edited April 22, 2020 by keyser
