Hot off the boat from Japan!!

Mrs X-Lead · 06-05-2007, 10:28 PM

Hi All,

I'm Mrs X-Lead aka Cas, I'm new to the site and I've a brand spankin' new car!

Hot off the boat from Japan, my '07 Mazda 3 SP 23 in Carbon Grey arrived here in Canberra a little over a week ago. I've had the windows tinted by the fabulous 'Top Cat' window tinters in Phillip, and have been cruisin around in the little beast.

You can see some of the photos in my photo gallery. I am sure there will be plenty more coming soon.

So, I should probably tell you a little about myself.

I am 23 and currently work as a Public Servant in the Attorney General's Department. New news... well X-Lead and myself were married only two weeks ago!! yay!

Anyways, more later! *waves*

I'm guessing the Mazdaspeed 3 is the turbo FWD hatch?

That's the Mazda3 MPS here. But Mrs X-leads is the 2.3 top-of-the-non-turbo-range Hatch

KrayzieFox · 07-05-2007, 11:59 AM

Yea the MS3 is FWD Turbo 2.3L here. That looks really nice though, we don't have anything like that here.

bourbon · 07-05-2007, 12:04 PM

Mrs X-Lead · 07-05-2007, 06:10 PM

Hey Kitty, Skitz, Tony, Rupewretcht, KaryzieFox and bourbon!!

Thanks for the warm welcome. We'll have to have a meet soon, so I can meet all ya and show off the new beastie

X-Lead just informed me that I can get an AstinaGT sticker for the new car... I will have to obtain one of those ASAP

Yeah, same as the Mazdaspeed but car Co.s in Aus are not allowed to use names that imply racing or speed

bourbon · 07-05-2007, 07:48 PM

what about FPV and HRT...

Cosmo Dude · 07-05-2007, 07:52 PM

FPV = Ford Performance Vehicle. No direct reference to speed or racing in the name.
HRT is the racing arm of HSV = Holden Special Vehicles and HRT don't sell road cars.

astina boi · 07-05-2007, 08:45 PM
