Behold the Baja Miata: Desert Racer Mazda MX-5 On 27-Inch Knobblies | American Tuned ft. Rob Dahm
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
What’s the perfect two-car garage? Writer and adventurer Emme Hall would argue a second-gen Mazdaspeed Miata and a matching Miata on big 27-inch knobbly tyres for off-roading. Emme takes Rob on a trip through Yucca Valley’s backroads in the car she affectionately calls “Buddy", fitted with a shorter rear-differential, big skid plate, and just enough suspension travel to get into the good kind of trouble. Is this the most fun you can have in a Japanese budget-friendly sports car?

What a fun obscure use of a Miata. Spent so many hours out there filming and the car never let us down!

The two miatas remind me of the 3 rotor and the FC in terms of how they're modified...

Rob, you gonna let all these people drive the 4 rotor when it's done to be fair? jk lol. Keep up the great work bro! Also, this is such a cool serious Top Gear did. I probably would not have watched it (or been as excited to watch) if you weren't a part of it. You definitely have a talent for this type of automotive hosting whatnots.

his enthusiasm for all things car is contagious. i binged all episodes available so far and my face is hurting from the big wide grin I had on all the time.
She’s the most fun person you’ve had on this channel, to date!

Emmie is such a queen in her own right. One of the best episodes so far.
I cracked up so hard watching Rob eating dust in the car it was so fun. Rob is taking over my whole life
How did I never notice the phrase "Miata Is Always The Answer" matches the lettering, M.I.A.T.A.

She’s awesome, infectious smile and attitude!!!
Just by their constant laughter i can tell this is a car you can't not have fun in. Love it!!
Rob, you're making Top Gear cool again! Congrats on the 1 million subs
People hooning the Miata and laughing is the infectious nature of the Miata in live action. It's a fun car made for having fun times, I took one to my local track for lessons this week and I was smiling and just nailing the corners, the MX-5 is a blast!
These two are made for each other... 😁😎👍 Btw: I cannot ignore the "I fart on the first date" sticker... 😂
Miata Is Always The Answer for sure. Great series with Rob, and fantastic you got Emme on here to showcase her passion and her cars!!!
Rob and Emme made a great combo for this episode! So much fun to watch!
“Almost cooler than me, hahaha” 🤣 flex
That “fart on the first date” sticker 😂
This lady seems really entertaining, great pick for Miata content, hehe. Though Gingium on KZread here has the slightly wilder NA Miata version of this garage, could be something for a future thing perhaps? got the quick street one, and his offroad one is actually AWD with a Subaru drivetrain and engine.
This is quickly becoming my favourite series on the TG YT channel. Love it.
Yeah Buddy!
This is what I feel like my stock 1998 Mazda Demio drives like. It's literally like a rally car even though it looks like grandmas grocery getter 🤣
I like her, especially the taste of stickers on the car.
They are becoming popular in British Trials [climbing muddy hills] which favour RWD. Cheap, plentiful and usually relaible, Quite easy to raise the suspension too. In Triallnig we have to use road legal tread on the tyres, no off-road style tread allowed. LSD is banned too. Lots of lead bolted to the boot floor and heavy tools and a jack aid traction. We also carry air bottles to blow the tyres up, pressures are usually dropped to 5psi before each hill climb. This featured MX-5 has neat twin spare wheel storage, I've seen similar in UK. Excellent job, well done building this, great fun.

Wow! This is so much fun!! I'm smiling while watching this.
Rob Dahm is a positive influence on the car enthusiast culture as a whole. Passion shines through with any build that he is able to experience.
My lifted Miata was by far the most fun vehicle I've ever owned. Was extremely sad when I had to get rid of it.
Awesome video. Love the series!
What a fun series. Way to go!
Awesome video, Emme!! Check out all the Offroad Miata suspension components on our website!
This has been a fantastic series but I think this is my favourite episode so far, aside from Rob’s RX7 intro episode. Emme and Rob were having so much fun!
Wow my respect for Emme shot up more than it already was 👍
Amazing work on this car
What an amazing episode 👏🏼
Tip for the offroad. Don't have your thumbs around the wheel, keep your thumbs on the outside of the steering wheel. The inside can break your thumbs if your tires hit a rock.
That car looks like a lot of fun 🔥🔥
I love this series
I saw the thumb nail and my brain screamed EMME!!!!
This looks like so much fun!
This woman is such an enthusiast! A fan
Yeah Emme! way to represent us!
Clarkson would need one of these when they made that trip to Iran... Miss the old Top Gear

Wish they did Gingiums miata for this episode. His is absolutely wild and wacky
Rob just brings out the inner child ❤️
probably my favorite guest so far!!!
FART ON THE FIRST DATE - priceless!!!!
Great job.
Rob was the best thing that happened to top gear in a while boy expectations freaking went down the tube
Miata is always a solution. Great thing still about Miatas is that they can be had for cheap while still being reliable. Had one for years dubbed the drift pig and it never had matching tires or rims on it the whole time. Just kept buying peoples used tires and stock rims when they upgraded off craigslist. Used it as a tow vehicle, used the hitch to pull it after getting stuck off road. Had a blast the whole time.
Love my Miata!!
Looks awesome
Ginguim built a STi swapped off road miata. Very cool you should check it out!
I love my NB but this is so much cooler! The owner seems like so much fun to
She is incredible!
It's like a miata dakar. What a very cool project! 😂
The Mi-Ba-Ta!
Whatever you do with these cars the end result is always the same; fun.
Muito bom o vídeo
I thought Rob energy was unmatched, however, this girl proves me wrong
This should have been a Gingium feature as well his WRX swapped Miata is firee
i didnt think i would like this one cause of the offroading. But buddy! this was great!
Inspiring
Buddy is soooo cute, love it!
Love this Lady and her awesome Miata 👍😆
Buddy is just so awesome.
While I absolutely love Miata's, they are my favorite car, this car doesn't seem very special. Emme on the other hand seems like a complete riot, what a joy this episode was to watch, I bet it was even better to make.
I miss my 03 Miata. So much fun in autocross and winding it out hard even in daily use. But it was hard to fit two 50lb dogs in it
Emme passion in this video is what topgear should be about as a channel. Not the lifeless soulless video you have been making recently, with robotic boring monotone presenters Except Harris ofc, he's a legend (yes I know some trolls don't like him, they are just jealous trolls) And no offense topgear USA has always been horrible. And it still is. And I am not even British and bias to the past topgear UK (Jeremy and friends era) I love it because it was awesome
Has Nb2 owner....I approve! Fantastic.
I have seen the best interest rates only at staking sites with Cross Staking technology, oreol staking for example
I wish this lady was my mom 😂😂🤘
Why do you do the analysis if there are reliable Cross Staking platforms such as oreol staking?
I have 2 off road lifted mustangs. I race one of them in rallycross. I've been tempted to build a miata.
I want one.
YEAAAAAH BUDDY!!!!
I love her shirt
Emme is the coolest woman I have come across in a long time. What an inspiration!
I learned to rally in a rwd 77 Datsun b210 with a dog leg, I have also owned a Miata....you would never get me out of this car. The only thing this car needs is the specific B210 dog leg with no safety bs getting into reverse.

Allo top gear
Rotary miata when? Looking at you Rob. haha
That's a happy girl!!!
I'll subscribe and watch when you hire M.E. Hall. She knows her stuff and is fun.
another smasher with Rob Dahm at the wheel
Paco Motorsport just won the lottery
Please tell me the song name in the beginning.
Whats your fav car bro? i always wondered. Like for racing and stuff like supra.
I believe in Buddy!!
Miata is always the answer!
I would happily pay money to own one
Daddy Dahm 🥵
I've seen this car a couple times in real life lol

i think thats a awesome car. we need more of them instead of these fancy and very high price cars. i would take one of these any day
Where does the name Miata come from? In the UK we just call them MX-5.
Emme Hall is a great person with a great car. I think Gingium's rally Miata is cooler though.
Incoming 4wd rotary-swapped Miata project, eh Rob?
bajata
Fart on the first date 😅 what a fun car and owner
More smiles per gallon. Every. Time. Just look at those smiles and listen to those laughs!
