Organ Donation Miata to Miata

Tomorrow my little Mazda Miata will make it’s final journey down to a garage in Itoman where I shall say goodbye. It is not long for this world, but its passing will allow other Miatas to live long and happy lives.

This afternoon Keith Gordon of  Ryukyu Underground came over to my house in his  Miata for some open air surgery. The two cars were parked side by side and over the course of the afternoon, the door panels, center console, battery and and a power window motor were transplanted from my little silver roadster to his little green roadster.

It was great to help out a friend, and to see some use come for the various still functional parts of the car. I do, however, hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow as my driver’s side window is now permanently open.

    and all done on an “8 pints of guinness” hangover…that’ll be the reason for the slightly big beer belly there…

    Many thanks again for all the parts, they will be put to good use – every time I lean my elbow out of the now opening window she will be remembered…the car that is – presume it’s a she?!
