Hi mini drivers.
My names Ed and I live in the norther part of California. I drive a Mazda3 right now but I'm doing what i've never done before, join a discussion forum for maybe a couple weeks to get some more information before I make a 20K commitment.

nice to meet you all in advance.

 

Welcome
If you test drive one, you'll have one

 

Welcome to NAM.

 

I thought MZ3 was the M-powered Z3~ a.k.a. M coupe or M Roadster~
lol~ i remember when my friend called his mazda3 an M3, lol... that was a good laugh...
Anyway, go test drive a MINI Cooper S, and we'll see you at the dragon.

 

Me too! I never heard of a Mazda being called an MZ3 before, just the BMWs, of which I'm a former owner. Thought there was yet another one joining the Mini ranks .

Anyhow, welcome! Lots of info here if you search or ask

 

MZ3, MZR, MPS are all common Mazda abbreviations.

I've test driven an S but unfortunately a new one is out of my price range. I'll be working with a base MC and working with it slowly. Regardless though, thanks for the warm welcome guys. : )

 

hey mr_fan, nice to see you over here too!

whoops, posted unde rmy wife's account, its rubyred3 from M3F though. . .

 

here I am, under my real identity. . .

Welcome to NAM!

 

Welcome! As soon as I test drove the MINI, I had to have one. Fortunately, I had been doing some research on this forum and knew what I was getting into. Lots of great info here. Just keep reading and then GO GET ONE!
