Profile: Clarence's Italian MX-5

Once again I am here sharing with you the best Mazda Roadsters from around the world. Today we check out Fabio Clarence Carrera's Mazda MX-5. Clarence is a graphic designer and a contributor at the Spaghetti Garage blog where he shares his enthusiasms for automobiles. Surprisingly, MX-5 are pretty rare cars in Italy, especially modified examples that are so low to the ground. When I visit family in Italy I see mostly French and Italian compact hatchbacks and the occasional Fiat Barchetta. The MX-5 would be a very fun car to drive in the beautiful Italian countryside. Just don't try parking one in the city! There isn't enough ground clearance to park half-way up on the curbs of the narrow streets.
