Up here in Saskatchewan, Canada, it's the same. Beautiful summer weather,
but the Miata's drive around with the top up. I guess the kind of person to buy
a Miata does not want his or her hair messed up :-). Or perhaps they prefer
AC. On the other hand, I've seen some 1950's and 60's Cadillac convertibles
cruising along with the top down. Personally, I leave my top in the garage and
use the tonneau cover (with bar to keep it from sagging in the centre). If it
rains I'll just have to keep going faster than about 80 km/h to make shure the
interior stays dry.

On another subject, what would be the NGK spark plug to use in a 1966 MGB?
I am using Champions now (RN9YLC or something like that) but I would like 
to try the NGK's some time in the future.

Thanks for the info on the distributor.
