Good stuff, Mark. Taking pictures can be fun. My parents got me into it at a very young age. I passed it down to my sons, as well.

Thanks guys... no.... no photos of a Chevelle.. as far as I know, it's still stashed away in a storage facility somewhere.. who knows...  Roll Eyes

The wheels are Konig Rewinds - they're supposed to be a retro-styled wheel reminiscent of the classic Mini-Lite.  They were specially designed for the 1st Gen Miata, with offset and size that would be appropriate for the car.  They're also pretty light (15x7 is 14.6 lbs).    I like 'em a lot - the size and fitment is exactly what I was looking for,.. I've got Kumho Ecsta MX tires (205-50/15) on them.  But yeah, it's still a Miata,.. I know Smiley

Thanks.. we've got a hummingbird feeder in our yard as well... I'm hoping to attract some little guys to test out some shots.. should be an interesting challenge - I want to go with a high enough speed to make the body sharp, but also show movement of the wings... it will be a lot of trial and error, I'm sure!

Mark nothing wrong with Miatas! If I had the room, I'd have one for a weekend go-getter. One of the few sports cars made that your average guy could afford. Modern MGB or Fiat Spider that actually won't rust as you watch it. And has oil pressure.
