Hi guys!
I've recently purchased an '06 MPS in Cosmic Blue, and am enjoying it thoroughly! I think I found a good one - it's only done 18,000km, but has been serviced by Mazda every 6 months since new, regardless of the low kms. Looks absolutely brand new. Has no modifications, though it has a towbar (which I'm looking to sell if anyone is keen?). I'd love a BOV I think, to reduce some of the lag, but other than that, I'm happy with it as-is!
My last car was an '05 Mini Cooper S, and while the MPS isn't QUITE as fun on the winding roads, I'm LOVING it none the less!
I have had a LOOONG love affair with cars:
My first car, the Escort, was built from the bottom up by my dad and I in to a 140hp@RW MONSTER.
Next was the E30 323i BMW which I STILL regret selling (most AMAZING sounding exhaust you've EVER heard).
Then the Supercharged Mini with glass roof. Got rid of the Mini, as it was starting to cost me money (BMW parts = BMW prices!!!) and we bought a house.
The Mazda was a cheaper option with even more power - though I miss the fact that the Mini cornered so well that you didn't need to slow down around sharp bends. Lol.
I'm Primary School Teacher on the Gold Coast, and returned from shopping the other day to find a card for your forum on my car window from Nirvandan, so I thought I would pop in!
I've just seen that someone on the forum has a VERY similar screen name to mine (MISSMPS), so I may need to change mine if that's possible?! I couldn't find a way to do it! I apologise, MISSMPS - I was unaware until just now
Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
Sarah.
