To Top It All

Postby Carrie » Thu Sep 08, 2016 2:04 pm

This morning I have seen an all new Mazda Icon lurking up the lane. Yes after my lesson yesterday from Phil & Co I know the difference. :shock: I am suddenly surrounded by MX5s :roll:

mk 1 lovely lights straight lines no curves
mk 2 no lovely lights not as sraight as the mk 1 but not as curvy as the mk 3
mk 3 a bit more curvy here and there no lovely lights
mk 4 or the all new icon thing less curvy and more pointy where the curves should be

:oops:

my take on it is:

Mk1 - pop up lights
Mk2 - no pop up lights
Mk3 - like a bar of soap
mk4 - the new one, sharp and angley

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall.
Torque is how far you send the wall across the field once you've hit it.

*Now as a fairly new and Novice Mazda MX5 owner. Not only do I have a new MK 4 lurking up and down the lane. I followed another little Icon home just before Christmas little Red beast soft top twin exhausts so I think it was an Icon. Then there was another one in Wood Lane I am suddenly Mazdered out. And then a little MK2 parked next to me in the train car park I was going to leave a note on on the window screen but before that there was a little black hard top who I parked next to. I reckon Mazda's should be called Mazda Magnets they just seem to attract each other I couldn't believe it when one morning after not long having mine there were 3 of them parked in a row at Solihull station must admit I liked the racing green one
