I have lots of stories on my Miatas. And I would like to remember the moment when I drove for the very first time the Eunos Roadster M2 1002.
I was dreaming to see a M2 for years and I read lots of books and magazines about the super rare M2 series.
In 2009, I closed the deal to buy the M2 1002 n. 007 from Dean and I remember very well the first driving feeling from Brentwood (UK). For a MX-5 enthusiast, the M2 is the pinnacle of driving. No power steering, the white leather interior, Panasport magnesium wheels, the completely different instrument cluster, the limited edition number on the passenger (left) door, the small alluminium door mirrors,..
In the very first mileages (until the Eurotunnel) I was so concentrated on traffic and on every single noise from the Roadster… but after the tunnel, on the French highways I started to feel my joy to drive.
Was an unbelievable feeling.
