For some time this forum has been unsure and generally pessimistic in places about the car, mazda and service.

I thought that this would be a good opportunity to set the record straight.

If you have a good story, good vibes, generally pro rather than dis, post it here !!

Was at a shop down the road. Guy comes up to me when I get outside.

Old time RX-7 owner, in the owners club etc. but hasnt got it anymore, had a big lexus, reg RX 7770 lol.

Spent 20min chatting, looking over the car etc. His 2nd gen rx-7 managed 8mpg after a 75k engin rebuild lol.

Was fun. No one ever came up to me in my focus discussing good times in their old escort...

Yes 2 really.

1) The way people stare at my car in envy...........

and

2) The growth of the RX8 Owners Club

Here she is!

The fact that dealer let me have demo car for 2 hours with wife and two kids (plus picnic basket).

Had a good experience today. Was parked outside a friend's house which was opposite a primary school. When I came out I was confronted by about 50 kids (and their teacher!) shouting, "nice Mazda!" and "open the doors, mate!" I'm not the showing off type but I duly obliged and the reaction was almost hysterical! I dont think even Britney Spears walking down the street would have got so much adulation. Never realised the doors were such a novelty.
Had to then avoid giving too many blips of the throttle when driving off, its not good for the environment.....

Telling one of my neighbours it cost £35k - and he still though it was good value for money!

...meeting some of the guys on here over the weekend.
