LOL - that was great

 

nice one

 

Lmaooooooooooooo

piston engines goes ......

boing boing boing boing

 

Ya know, I sort of remember hearing those ads on the radio as a kid. But seeing one now, I have to say, brought an unexpected smile to my face. Nice, playful, insightful ad. (And hey, when's the last time anyone saw a :60??) Thanks for posting this!

 

absolute classic

 

Best way I've seen to explain the difference between a rotary and a piston engine. LOL!

 

lol, so this means never leave your girl the a position where you should steal your mazda.

 

Hilarious!!!

 

haha, i am so glad i live in the time i do, if i had to watch those commercials...haha

 

I would love to see this ad now .. but not for the rx-8 - only if mazda comes up with a rotary sedan or something.

Bodi

 

LOL, That is very funny

 

My ins agent thinks mine is a sedan. She said it is a 4 door car!

 

Here is another one

Hate to admit it, but I remember that commercial

 

The girl in the first ad (http://www.rotaryeng.net/boing21.avi) was very attractive. I must admit that I was hopping for a porno ending.

 

Got to love that - if it was reversed - I would leave her behind and take the 8.

 

Let's see if the guys on the 350Z forum have a sense of humor? I'm going to post this ad on the 350Z forum.

 

post a link to the forum thread ..

 

I was expecting someone to say "repost" by now...

 

I sure remember the jingle.

But I thought "Mazda engine goes whrrrrrrrrr."

 

I don't think anyone had the internet when this commercial came out.

 

I've read some threads where it is stated that the 1.3L Renesis engine should really be considered a 2.6L engine when compared to a conventional piston engine. The logic (I guess) is that each rotor generates two power pulses for each crankshaft rotation. I find this odd when thinking that 2-stroke engines have been compared straight across the board to 4-stroke engines in terms of displacement. That is to say, I've never heard of a 175cc 2-stroke called a 350, either by the manufacturer or 4-stroke competition.

In my simplistic thinking, displacement is displacement. Why should crankshaft rotation have anything to do with it? I say, Kudos to the engineers who figured out a way to get more bang with less movement.

1.3L

 

That was a classic...funny stuff...

 

I remember that add and showed it to my wife and she rembered it too. Thanks, see if you remember this... it is BIZZAR!!
