New R3 Owner

Post by Jester* »

Good evening everyone,

After being a serial lurker for a looooooong time and using this place to keep an eye out for bits for my Mazda 3 MPS. I am finally scratching the rotary itch.

Just picked up this one and enjoyed a 3 hour drive home. Feels good to join the R3 master race, I have just paid up my membership and look forward to making use of all the knowledge around!

Cheers....PFA

I have a small Mazda collection.

Ayy! I see another fellow R3 human is around! :D Lovely to see, and I must say, you've picked the second best colour of R3 possible ;) :lol: A nice 10 plate with the revised gearbox synchros, and the last version to be sold in the UK! :thumleft: =D>

Hi and :welcome: Jester* Nice R3 ... and Mazda collection 8) Thanks for joining the club too ... your status will be upgraded before long I'd think. There will be local meets and events starting up again soon, see if you can get to any and come and show the R3 off. :thumleft:
