The answer is after all always Miata and this is a great video. They talked to the designers, gave a short history, and drove it.

Says it has enough power.

Drivers it supercharged.

Still, love the rollover bar and the supercharger whine.

He has a great taste with cars. He modifies them just enough, without overdoing it.

Yes. I've been following his garage for a while now. He's a true Jalop. He drives EVERYTHING, and his collection (unlike most rich people's collections) doesn't consist of just Ferraris and Lamborghinis and other expensive sports-cars. Actually I think he doesn't even have many Ferraris. His collection is not cliché and has things from way back. He has cars that nowadays are classics, but he has them since before they were considered classics.

And about the mods, exactly. He mods them when he finds it necessary and does what's needed. He doesn't even like to restore cars, because restoring it would make them lose their history. And when he does it, (like some Fiats and Alfas) he upgrades electrics and stuff so he can DD them. So awesome.

I admire this man.

He is a true Jalop and I love it. He finds quirky unique stuff and shares it with the public. I think that might be my favorite part about his garage is unlike other collectors who just keep it in the high class parts if society, Jay shares his collection with millions of people across the web.

Mine has been laid up for about 4 months due to a couple of mods, and I finally got it back on the road yesterday.
I was smiling.

Style bar. Not good.

That's always a good feeling putting in a bunch of hard work and getting out a great result. Happy driving!
