Keith Tanner has been racing, modifying, and writing about Miatas for two decades and currently works full-time at a performance shop that pushes the boundaries of the little sports cars. At home, he's restored a 1967 Land Rover and a 1966 Cadillac to go along with his classic Mini, Mazda 323 GTX, and a few Miatas. He's also built a Lotus Seven replica that uses Miata mechanicals, and his latest project is a Miata for the Targa Newfoundland race. He's published four books in the Motorbooks Workshop series: Mazda Miata MX-5 Performance Projects ; Mazda Miata: Find it, Fix it, Trick it ; How to Build a High Performance Mazda Miata MX-% ; and How to Build a Cheap Sports Car . Tanner has also written a number of magazine articles. When he's not playing with cars, he's out on skis or a bike. He lives in Colorado in a house with a large garage hidden underneath.
