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.

Two More..............

 

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.

 

Last one unless there are any requests!

Oilman

 

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.

 

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

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, 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

 

Had another look and liked these as well!!

Next One.............

 

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.

Oilman

 

Sorry forgot the picture!!

 

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!

 

What, no pictures of Vicki?

Lensman,

Number plate looked fine to me. Better than expected.

Cheers
Oilman

 

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.

Still not that keen on the side back view, back looks high and back wheel arch too pronounced. Glad to hear it looks better in real life.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

StuC is scaring me...

 

I wonder if he rides round on a child's tricycle?

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.
