Absolutely Bottled that test anyway.

Red on Right of Way at a junction where the lights were out. (Had to happen today :rolleyes: )

Red on Clearance of Stationary vehicles. Was behind a garbage truck the whole time as well so couldn't do much about it.

He puts it down to not enough experience, I put it down to bad luck.

Misty out there this morning.

Lads, anyone own, or have a few tips on
Mazda Mx3
Mazda Mx6
Ford Probe

Feel like buying something odd and dirt cheap before the summer!

Someday I'll remember to bring my thermos mug with me. Hopefully before the day Topaz make coffee cups that don't flood yours ****ing cup holder.

Nice and foggy out this morning. So of course I had a silver Primera behind me all the way down the N32 without any lights on at all...

I gave him a nice rear fog light dance show but he still didn't cop on by the time he turned off towards Northside shopping centre. So if you're that direction, beware! :P

I miss my cupholder in the Velle. Since the seatbases got shortened to accomodate the M5 seats, I have no cupholers. Think I might drive down to that evil car parts store and see, if they have anything temporary usable.

I got a BMW one on Monday, lost the jaysis thing and hadn't even used it yet. I got used to having my coffee in them all the time from being in the garage, never really had a chance to sit down and have a cuppa so you kinda just always had one on the go

If you can find an mx6!
Only thing I know is that the mx6 has an non interference engine, timing belt snaps the engine is not ruined!

Never driven one, but would buy the mx6 or ford probe over the mx3, seems too boy racer like or has a sh1t image.

Edit: mx6 on donedeal for €700

I got my missus a Costa coffee one but she never uses the bloody thing. She gets the paper cups that leak all over the place. That coffee is impossible to clean once its dried in..

The Costa ones aren't great if used regularly, they split and the coffee mixes with the paper between the plastics

I have a Topa(my last letter of the alphabet button is broken) one and it's good but would be better with a screw on lid rather than a pop in lid. Starbucks did a great one but seem to have discontinued that particular type

Still have mine, in the box, in the bag, in the front seat of the car.


Or do you mean about your "relationship"? If so, based on the text I got last night, I've bad news for you............

My understanding is that the MX6 and Probe and Mazda 626 are all basically the same car underneath. The 2.0 is the 626 engine. The 2.5 is a v6 (may have also featured in the 626 but not here!) One of the donedeal ads makes out that his 2.0 is a v6. Kinda rules him out haha. EDIT - japs had 2.0 V6, from the Xedos line I presume.

Mx6 is a nice car, but very few around.
Mx3 looks like a bit of ladies car, but the 1.6 or 1.8 should be a bit of craic in something that light.
