I'm still looking for the white RX3 Coupe that Mr Revhead saw in the distance!! I know there was the R100, the 'Luce' [RX4] in the 'Museum' garage but hell I must have different pics!

Magpie - tell Jay I love 'feet pics' and those especially with my head chopped off! :roll:

Thank you to all who attended our 3rd Annual Open Day! :D

The weather was perfect and the company was even better! :mrgreen:

It was good to see some familiar faces (Roger, Mark, Tim to name just a few) as well as plenty of new ones. 8)

Andrew, I love your theme...soooo much win there....well for Mazda enthusiasts anyway! :P

Here's a few quick piccies I took just before kick-off!

Love those old Cosmo's and other rotors too!

I think I still have filed away an old mid 90s FF&R mag with Danny's rotor powered 626 from back in the day. I see he still has it!

Didn't see that pic 'Mr RevHead'

Yes, there's the rotary 626 back a couple between the rotary pickup and the blue RX8 inside the shed/garage/warehouse/museum!!

...and yes the 626 lives on! 8) You're showing your age MrRevhead....that article in FF&R was from October 1998!

Me too!! I;m sure regardless of all the others '626' would have to be Danny's favourite!

I did see 'Savanna' come in yesterday and park - looks damn awesome as I have always loved the RX3 :wink:

Danny I just noticed that all your early photos have a lot of blue in them, including the vehicle lifts :) That green supercharged NC was out of place colour wise.

My favourite car in Danny's special area is the Eunos Cosmo 20B.

Yes they are :) They are hooked up to an Innovate TC4. Rumour is that they will be measuring EGT's in anger tomorrow for the first time...
