what i meant was, Mazda gave up trying to please you & chucked you the keys to a red one.............& yes, matches your complexion nicely when you're in full war cry at a committee meeting.................LOL :P :lol: :mrgreen:

you were never gunna fit in with the dark side mate, better off stickin' with the ol' codgers colour :P :P

for those who thought it was a photochop, open your eyes......the red one has no rego sticker, JBT failed to put the E-toll transponder in exactly the same spot, & he's not 'chop qualified enough to get that red reflection in the piano black dash trim :lol: :mrgreen:

Nice, red is much better. I hope the trade wasn't too hard on the back pocket.

And a happy ending! Good to see!

Mmm, red, I never was a fan of that dark blue. I do like the RX8 blue, but I still think red is where it's at 8)

But what will I hassle you about now?

Ran up some more km today with a dash up to Mt Nebo and back. Amazingly, I managed to get there and back safely at speed limits without any advice from the left seat :D .

Now done 400km and has picked up 4 stone chips on the nose - haven't even left the general greater Brisbane area :( . Good thing I bought some touch-up paint when I collected the car.

Gee I love driving this thing :mrgreen: . Not real sure about those Bridgestone Potenza RE 050A tyres yet (compared to Michelin PP2), although I must say they seemed to have a good grip of the road up to Nebo and back.
