Calm down AMG....we're all in violent agreement with you about what a great car the FD is 
Personally, I'm shattered the 1970 Morris Cooper S MkII never made COTY -- instead they gave it to...a....Renault

Well I have come out the closet before, some know and I get jibed for it...
I've had 2 Wheels COTY's- my first car and my most recent car...
The 1973 one, although not from new
And of course the RX8!
Cheers,
Hymee.

Go Stu
When I saw the results I somehow figured you would be the first to mention it on the forum.
I happened to see the "chrome version" or your MX5 in velocity red and I agree with your choice to remove the chrome. It looked ****.
On another note I still have my 1983 Wheels COTY Mazda 626 Hatch as well as the 8

You're a brave man sharing this with us. Do you have a pic of the car with you standing next to it?
