Calm down AMG....we're all in violent agreement with you about what a great car the FD is ![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Personally, I'm shattered the 1970 Morris Cooper S MkII never made COTY -- instead they gave it to...a....Renault

2 for me...
- the VT commowhore (company car, POS, unlimited company petrol card was the best part of it)
- the 8 (better than the above-mentioned vehicle)

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?
