338's Photo gallery.

Everything from a sad looking little Miata found at a dealer to a well-tuned machine heading off for the edges of the continent....

Various portraits on the trip to, from and in Texas. The blue decal on the side wais a Monte Carlo Rally-style decal announcing that 338 was part of the "Miata.net European Delegation"

• Skyline Drive is apparantly one of the most scenic drives in the US. We have no idea if this is true.
• We can attest that the Blue Ridge Parkway is both scenic and fun to drive!
• Even more fun is the legendary Deals Gap. 318 turns in 11 miles!
• Deals Gap isn't just a great road, however. It's got some great views. This one's a stunner.
• You can see that Arkansas is not the most interesting state from a driving point of view.
• Entering Texas!
• Turning over 130,000 km the proper way, somewhere in New York state.
• Travelling companions Axel and Steffi, Werner and Petra, and Keith and Baby. Yes, it got a lot warmer!
• Number 338 with number 500,000, as well as the Miata Coupe and Speedster showcars. Taken at Texas Motor Speedway
• 338 and 500,000 from the rear.
• Back at Gary Fischman's house. From left to right, Baby, Max, Agent 99 and 338.

Working in Texas on 338.

• Upgrading the radio, with Axel Windmueller doing the work. Axel's one of the two drivers who took the car to Texas.
• Oil change and brake maintenance in the Performance Buyers Club garage. Thanks for the hospitality, guys!
• It turns out 338 burns a little oil. Here are Axel, Petra and Steffi taking refuge from the heat during a top-up.

Some portraits of the two Miatas in the family. These were taken after the cleaning job was done.

• From above, with Tom.
• From the front.
• Dramatic version of the above photo. This shows off the ride height difference between the cars as well.
• From the side.

Working on the brakes...

• It's hard to see some of those adjustment bolts...
• 338 does a hovercraft imitation

With only a few hours of work, 338 went from a tired looking car to one with great paint. Oh sure, it's still chipped and has some blemishes, but it's now highly reflective. We didn't take any "before" pictures of the rear bumper, but it was so faded it looked orange. Thanks to Mother's, it's now a perfect match to the rest of the car.  Amazing. If the dealership had done this, they could have sold the car for at least an extra $1000.

• Near the beginning. You can see Keith's Baby in the background getting some work done on her brakes.
• Hood done. Look at the difference between the door and the fender!
• Tools of the trade. Some of the rags looked like they'd been used in a terrible crime, thanks to the oxidation that rubbed off.
• The end result.   Look at that paint in the rear!

Exhaust swap. Matt Eglin was going to replace his cat-back with an aftermarket piece, so he donated his old system. Nice guy! That's his yellow in the front.

• The job underway.
• Old vs. the new

Here are some more scenes from the homecoming:

• The first formal portrait.  Notice who is at the driver's door.
• Tom considers how to regain the driver's seat.
• Not quite twins.
