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.

Check out Clay Deen's Mazda Miata. Most recently it was a show car used for fun and to help promote Clay's auto body / paint business, De' Caudella's Custom Refinishing in Melbourne, Florida, USA. It will be featured in an upcoming issue of "Modified" magazine. It's currently for sale on Craigslist so that Clay can raise funds to pour back into his business and the next project car to show off his talents.

This 10th Anniversary Edition Miata sports an aggressive body kit. Through the large front bumper opening you can see the custom intercooler that feeds cold air from the turbo to the engine. Right now it's rolling on CCW LM5T wheels. In the USA, the "track style" show car is popular and it would appear that this car is trending along those lines.
