White is a good survival colour for the gloomy months ahead. As bright as a Barn Owl at dusk:)

You’re right Beryl, not that I had a lot of choice of colours to go at, what I noticed under the showroom lights was an almost pearlescent effect, not sure what the Mazda colour actually is?
Cheers Al

I’m not a fan of white in any form but I do think it suites the ND. There is a NC in white for sale locally and it just doesn’t work for some reason.
I’m not a fan of the Targa look with hood down ( blind spots etc) but it’s very handsome hood up I have to say.

The RF probably is marmite to a lot of Mazda owners/purists, It does remind me a lot of my old MR2 GT, especially the sloping rear pillars. Definitely not going to give the full topless driving experience but I love the ‘coupe’ looks and practicality when the hoods up, specially coming into winter and hoping to drive in just about all weather :slightly_smiling_face:

Can’t argue with that. It’s a lovely looking car.

First run out today, roof down glorious! Impressed by the power, roads a bit green in places so steady away on corners, all in all big smiles all round :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi Al,

Beautiful day in Whitby today. Was a bit chilly on the way there, but warmed up nicely by 11ish and top down all the way back to Bradford.

Saw a group MX5s, out for a run, in Scarborough.

Rgds,
Gordon.

Lovely looking car, white is my preferred colour although they’re all nice.
Welcome to a great community, a plethora of knowledge is available from these guys :wave: hopefully not your first wave and not your last

Sounds a cracking day Gordon, what route back did you take? Through the wolds or A64?

Thanks @Squibnocket1, good to be part of the community :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

Came back on the A64 as i had to be back for a meeting. Was tailgated for 40 miles by a Suzuki Alto in Hammerite Puce Green.
