Pity the poor Miata

 I JUST WANT TO BE ME!

That might be the refrain of the humble Miata. The sporty little roadster, that has been stirring enthusiasts' souls since it was first introduced over thirty years ago. Bringing back memories of all the great, inexpensive and semi-reliable British sportscars like the MG and the Triumph. But to some, this little corner carver is simply a blank canvas.

Speaking of which, for those of you who missed out on getting your dream Corvette back in the day or who simply can't conjure up the coin to buy an oldie today, this Miata conversion should speak to you......

Just another Miata under the skin, but trying to be something the little darling isn't.

Attention Mustang lovers.......

Yes folks, under this two seater Mustang copy sits the Miata roadster, crying out to be accepted for what it is, not what a few souls would like it to be. Of course, the Miata cover up doesn't stop with a couple of American "back in the day" icons, oh no, others strive for much loftier heights......

Take your pick, a make believe Ferrari or maybe this Maserati or failing those two, a Shelby Cobra. Pick your model from a selection of cars, whose prices these days are up in the stratosphere, if you could actually afford to ask.

And that poor little Miata just wants to be appreciated for the way it looks, the way it was born, without one of these ersatz bodies being plunked on top of it. Pity the poor Miata.

Now if you think it stops with these few, think again, Friendo.......

Take your pick. Drive one of these copies and be the person that you wish you could be, above driving a Miata, but without the bucks to go crazy on the real whatever.

And finally, in case you thought people disguised Miatas with only the hottest bodies........

Shed a tear for the taste of this poor individual who lusted after the almost ugly BMW Z3 and had a spare Miata on hand.

Pity the poor Miata. Just a nice little sportscar, longing to be appreciated for itself, not what a few underachievers would like it to be. Life as a car can be cruel.

 I JUST WANT TO BE ME!

Until next time.......
