Welcome...

Please do not hesitate to ask any question, but there are some good threads on the sticky part of this regional forum.

hit the search button too. There are some great stuff in the database.

Mostly come and have a chat. Any off topic stuff will do. It is more of a social forum (this part of it anyway).

Welcome again

Hi Sonja,

Welcome - Bet you can't wait to pick it up, I remember waiting for mine... The anticipation was painful.

You must be pretty young if it is a lifelong dream to own an 8 considering it only came out in 2003 !!!

Be sure to post up a pic when you pick it up !!

FURY

Che? 50 what?

I presume you meant 50hp?

The horsepower abbreviation is in lowercase, not upper!

Why the back ? Doesn't the centre console get in the way ? There is not as much room back there either.

WTF...you can't turn your back for one minute around here! Sonya, a word of warning...the more you learn and the more you drive your car, the more you will enjoy it and get addicted to this forum like the rest of us.

You'll learn heaps from this website, and you'll never get enough from owning this beautiful motor car. I take it you're going through Grand Prix - they have been excellent and look after you 100%.

As pointed out, I also have a red. You wont miss it - it has red and white personalised plates with bling and a rear spolier.

Welcome to the forum and we look forward to catching up soon. Let us know when you pick up your wheels and shows us some pics!

Welcome to the club Sonja, in a couple of days You will love it, which im sure you already know.

Trev I had quite a different experience with Grand Prix, but that being said I bought used (not as rich as all you guys ) But happy with the car.

Back in 2003 when Mazda 2 was bought, had a great experience, Johnny Ring i think was the salesman. But with the Rx not so good.

Rob, unfortunately 2nd hand car from dealer = 2nd rate margin for the dealer = 2nd rate service from dealer.
