Apart from the Ferrari and the Mazzer the 6 is the best looking car there.

**Maputosimon** · 4-22-07, 4:57

How could I not agree?

My DeTomaso Pantera GTS is on order though...

**RdS** · 4-23-07, 1:00

^^ you have a pantera?? they're 351 cubic inches of awesome.

**Maputosimon** · 4-23-07, 5:09

In my dreams...I'll keep buying lottery tickets.

**Maputosimon** · 5-5-07, 20:45

YES, those garish bonnet stickers have now gone! I was under orders to keep them on, but my valeters ' accidentally' removed them...

**Davidos12** · 5-5-07, 21:49

In my opion mate, less is more. I want to remove all the badges from my 6, The only one's i want to keep are mx6 badge on the back and the mazda badge on the bonnet. At the moment i have a badge in everty corner on the back, MX6 / Mada / ABS ansd 2.5i v6 painted on. also 2.5i v6 on both front wings and I want it all gone. Think the car will look a lot clearner when i get them all off and painted over. But its all down to an indivuduals personal taste.

I agree with you - the first thing I did was paint the bonnet badge and rear Mazda badge black - and just kept the MX-6 one silver.

It would be interesting to see one de-locked, but I think the door handles should stay. I'd like to find a way to keep my lock barrels black instead of either repainting them every few months or just giving up!

Denise wants Lambo doors, but I don't think they would work, and a bit too 'medallion man' .

BTW, strange that you've got 2.5i V-6 on both wings - I've only got it on my left one!

A top guy - and a serious member of the Ferrari Owner's club (Club Scuderia)...and not a cheap number plate!

The F355 was, many experts' opinion, the best-ever handling Ferrari, though the new F430 is great...and you can get an F355 for between £30-40k these days!

benjamin1 · 5-15-07, 1:59

NOS?....

You're runnin No2?

A bit mny stickers.. but if it's what ya like...do it up.

**Maputosimon** · 5-15-07, 5:45

For now, I'm running stickers

Other mods, but not NOS yet, but when the money allows and the engine's running as it should, then in it will go! Still not sure if I sdhould go for the full 75 horses that our engine can take, or keep it below 50.

Am looking at boring out the TB first and then maybe headers, but I might swap the order I do things around.

**Davidos12** · 5-16-07, 7:25

Snap I win, I win............Whats the prize again?

Went to the Gym this morning, Yes I know it's hard to believe

, but this was parked up there with a space next to it so I had to get this pic. Think it's the one I saw the other day but no sign of the owner and was gone when i came out.

**Einstein** · 5-16-07, 7:29

I think those number plates are illegal

John

**Maputosimon** · 5-16-07, 7:30

Duh, it has to be the SAME suit for a full house! Can't mix black and red!

Great pic, though. nice one! Both cars very tidy. Is the black one an Auto? nose looks a tad lower.

**Davidos12** · 5-16-07, 7:35

Black one is a noble green one (mine) and a manual. When Gareth saw it next to his he thought it had been lowered but looks like stock springs to me but I may be wrong.

Ha Ha its weird how both our number plates have distorted in the same way, must be a mazda trait!!
