gunners Having just celebrated one year of 'SP20' ownership, and having faced the same market and questions you have, I have no regrets whatsoever. For mine, the only way you're going to have more fun for your money is to buy a 20+ year old Porsche 911, and wear the associated costs and risks...

Also - I just noted my avatar shows this off quite well, kind of the same as the Vanquish's nose photo too.

The photo of the Protege is certainly the one I recognise most as the colour of my car. As I mentioned previously, I mostly see mine under artificial light (there's fluoro's in my garage and in the carpark at work), or in shade, so that is an accurate photo of what I see the colour to be. The...

You are absolutely right Newf, it looks heaps different depending on light, time of day etc. When we took the photos, it was just after midday, so the sun was pretty much right on top of it. You can see in the close front ons that it comes up a brilliant shiny grey/silver. But in others, like...

G'day Finally got to wash the car and take some pics (Yes - it stopped raining too). I've cut them back to 800x600 to save everyone's bandwidth, but there's still over 1Mb of photos here so you've been warned. Hope you like. Madza <img src="http://www.users.bigpond.com/handj/sp20_1.jpg"...

I saw a post a little while back saying that you Americanadians wanted Titanium as a standard colour, so here's a little thrill for you. This is my Australian SP20 in Titanium. More pics to come, next time in full sun so you can get the full effect. <img...

Dude - commiserations, my pre-SP20 car was written off when I t-boned an old guy who failed to give way at an intersection. Did the airbag go off? That scared the S*$# out of me. Go and visit the shop while they repair it, your P5 will appreciate you care ;) Mine was going to be repaired until...

In Australia the 2.0litre Ford Laser is called the SR2. The Mazda hatch is an 'Astina SP20' (the US 'Protege5'). Mazda have recently released the sedan version, the Protege SP20 (I think the US 'MP3'?). The SR2 styling is available across the Ford Laser range - including 1.6litre and 1.8litre...
