And that is the end of the Mazda tour. Next up is just Up Garage... Cheap parts for the car enthusiast.

Thought this was amusing because it says "YOU" on the bus and nothing else



There was a workshop in front of the hotel i was staying at which had nice cars they were working on.

















And that ladies and gentlemen was my car related trip. I will hopefully go to more workshops next time i visit and update this thread. I hope you all enjoyed looking at these photos as much as i did visiting the places :P.
