Hi from an old geezer!

Post by Castaway »

Just saying hi to you all. I'm not a 4G owner but my son Matty is. He's got the quickest 4G in the country, apparently! It's certainly quicker down the strip than my MX5!

Hi, that's a fairly big boast, i expect you'll get a few replies asking for proof of that! All in good fun though! ;-)

Yep, that's the one!
The best I've had from my Mazda is 15.8 but that's a bog standard 1.8 mk2

Matty and me at York Raceway in September.

He stuffed me good and proper, of course! I think a turbo and nitrous is needed for next year!

His best time was 12.5, not 12.7, that 0.2 seconds is very important!!! :D

Hello Matt's Papa.

I think you should sell your MX5 and buy a 4G.

:D
