View Full Version : Pics From Bristol oilman 07-09-2003, 02:27 PM Seen it all before - probably! Although I took a load, liked these the best. This one from the drivers position is great because it shows the wings off which is all you see!!! Have more if anyone wants any angles. Cheers Oilman oilman 07-09-2003, 02:28 PM Two More.............. Lensman 07-09-2003, 02:28 PM An image idea as yet unseen, well done. They didn't start the engine I presume? Anyone wanting to know what 'Winning Blue' looks like should see these images because that's it exactly. Too light for me but still nice. oilman 07-09-2003, 02:29 PM Last one unless there are any requests! Oilman Lensman 07-09-2003, 02:31 PM Isn't it interesting that in that last image the rear end looks six miles high yet we know that in reality it's really low?! So deceptive. oilman 07-09-2003, 02:32 PM No they didn't but they did offer for me to stay on until 10.30 when the car was to be moved out and hear it then. With a 3.5hour drive ahead, I couldn't face it, sorry! They offered this (or Paul did) because I was a forum member!!! Knowing MarkW does have its benefits afterall;) Cheers Oilman oilman 07-09-2003, 02:34 PM I agree Lens, with over 300 pics on the PC I was still stunned by the stance, height and beauty of this car. Even in blue! Cheers Oilman c170673 07-09-2003, 03:04 PM Oilman, Great pictures I should be able to get the video from Bristol (taken on Monday) up and running at the weekend. I apologise in advance though, my technique isn't great. Having looked at these I think I will go off and have another look at the video. Chris oilman 07-09-2003, 03:39 PM Had another look and liked these as well!! Cheers Oilman oilman 07-09-2003, 03:39 PM Next One............. oilman 07-09-2003, 03:41 PM Last One.............. Note puncture repair kit in back corner. It consists of a pump that plugs into the lighter and a bottle of gunk that you pump into the tyre. Cheers Oilman oilman 07-09-2003, 03:44 PM Sorry forgot the picture!! Lensman 07-09-2003, 03:46 PM What's your opinion about the number plate? I think it looks good and even better than without it. Also, as you implied, if you like a blue one this much think how much you'll love a Tita.. sorry.. red one! ;) Sputnik 07-09-2003, 04:06 PM What, no pictures of Vicki? :( ---jps copperband 07-09-2003, 05:28 PM Sputnik will this do you, it would appear shes looking on the beach for the ultimate coupe:) http://www.vb-h.net/5g2003/5g07050309.jpg Ed oilman 07-09-2003, 05:48 PM Lensman, Number plate looked fine to me. Better than expected. Cheers Oilman Stu C 07-09-2003, 06:14 PM Well here I am again at stupid o'clock.... Can someone please tell anyone from Mazda at these events to get the car to Leeds (or within 100 miles, i don't care)? Not fair. :mad: Stu C All work and no rx-8 makes Stu a dull boy....

Glad to hear it looks better in real life. rael c170673 07-10-2003, 02:32 AM In the pictures the rear end looks quite high, but in the flesh it appeared quited different and don't forget the ride height will be substantially lower on the production versions. I measured the gap between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch and it was just over 2 inches, if the ride height is going to be 1 to 1.5 inches lower then the car will look altogether better. Chris oilman 07-10-2003, 04:05 AM Rael, Believe me buddy these pictures do not do the stance any justice at all. You will find the rear perfect when you see it. The car is altogether lower, wider and more aggressive in the flesh, I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I will look through my collection of rear shots and see if I can find a better pic in any colour. Others that have seen it will agree with me. Don't worry! Cheers Oilman rael 07-10-2003, 04:15 AM You are such a soothing element on this forum! Glad you understand my view and can now positively argue the case. I continue to wait to see my car in the flesh. rael c170673 07-10-2003, 04:17 AM As I mentioned on the thread about the Top Gear magazine, the gar will be on the programme this Sunday, static but still moving images. This was confirmed to me last night by a friend that works on the programme. Also, I should have my video from Bristol up an running at the weekend. Chris morganrogers 07-10-2003, 06:40 AM StuC is scaring me... :( c170673 07-10-2003, 06:47 AM I wonder if he rides round on a child's tricycle? RedRum RedRum RedRum RedRum RedRum RedRum RedRum RedRum RedRum RedRum cw007 07-10-2003, 10:24 AM license plate on the front spoils the aggresive looks, im getting it removed and have a "sticky ala E type jag" put on the front. cw007 07-10-2003, 10:25 AM incidently who is the carefull owner of the lass in the last pic? Looks like 1 careful owner relatively low mileage.... :D oilman 07-10-2003, 10:26 AM CW007, If you've looked at the pics I posted on this thread, I was surprised that it looked ok when I saw it. I'm cool with it personally Cheers Oilman cw007 07-10-2003, 10:32 AM Oil, I do agree its not bad looking as they have changed it since motor expo. It does work but i have my mind set on getting shot of it. |
