[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Mowed the lawn yesterday, so I thought I'd take a couple of pictures while the sun was out.

It looks like My MV6 is after a sniff of the Mazda's bum.

Mrs Opti drives her Corsa on a day to day basis, so the RX-8 is only used for fun. I doubt she'll cover more than a couple of thousands miles each year in her new "girly" toy. That's women for you. 

The first tank of petrol returned 21.9 mpg.......the second 20.7 mpg...... . It's needed no oil in 700 miles. The rear seats are big enough to take friends and grandchildren.

I really wanted to hate the Mazda because it is clearly a car ( like the MX-5) that's specifically designed to appeal to for gay men and girls, but I don't. In fact it's great fun to drive and handles like it's on rails.

It's made me get in touch with my feminine/metrosexual side. .......just this morning I've made an appointment for a "back, sack, and crack" wax to be ably performed by Crispin and his.....ahem  partner Horatio.

What's wrong with that?......

You really need to have words with whoever is dumping cars on your bowls lawn, Opti..

Serious ? 
 
ouch.. now you surprised me really

Yep, Aaron. I'd like the jap crap removed, too. Give me scrap value and you can tow it away.

P.S. Talking of jap crap, how is that old Datsun of yours?

Your house looks lovely, as do the cars  .

Rx looks quite a big manly car with bulging wheel arches an all  If its not used much on the road maybe you could tow a grass cutting machine on the back and cut the lawn in style  Nice to see the trimmed bush in the background   

The first tank of petrol returned 21.9 mpg.......the second 20.7 mpg......  .

Better than the mig then

I'm very partial to a trimmed bush.

The MV6 just about clears 30 mpg under identical conditions...... . The RX-8 enjoys a drink, sadly.

I think it would be possible to hold a meet in that garden
Plus room for camping maybe so it could be a weekend do

That got sold a fair while back now, to make room for the bits of Cobra kit in the garage Broke my heart to see it go, but it had a laundry list of problems to fix, really..

You've a Cobra replica.......do I have that right?
