    You lucky bastard, I have always adored Alpines-especially the A110. You'll be using the A610 as a daily drivier? I am of the opinion that if you can afford five sports cars, well, that's justification enough. Unfortunately, I am only 18, and, thus, I am still working on buying my first sports car.

    I wish you well with the RX-8 while you have it, and hope that you get the A110-I look forward to seeing pictures of it.

    Are there pics of your A610 on UCP? I'd really like to see what state it's in.

    Cheers

    Yes it was and will be again.
    Don't believe in cars not getting used.
    Other RX opwners at the first meeting were amazed that mine was spattered in mud when I arrived ... they'd not seen any that had been driven hard !!
    WTF

    I know. It's more a figure of speech meant to showcase my envy of your cars.

    It good to hear that you use cars as they are meant to be, and sad to hear that other RX owners baby their cars.

    So I have been told. Currently in the process of getting a better paying job, saving as much of money as can, and hopefully buying another car by then end of the year-my 19th birthday.

    I am sorry, but I can't make heads not tails of that second part. Mind explaining what a wee sprog is?

    I'll do that, and probably PM you. I remember seeing and hearing an A310 at a car show when I was about 9, I have been a big fan Alpines ever since.

    Oh, thanks for answering my questions.

    Classy ownership proof.
    As soon as you got the car, you gathered with the gang. Rotary guys are like Mafia!
    Congrats!

    Weey! I've been waiting for these. Great car, love the PZ, it's mirrors, wing and rims are real nice and the grey paintwork is lovely. Have fun with it.

    Weey, I'm saving for a 1.4D-4D for next year. Are they pretty entertaining to drive? And what's passenger space like, ie. will a 6ft'er get in the back with a fat person? lol

    ^ Good engine, in-gear acceleration is too cool on that. They're nice to drive in my opinion, but Im only 20 and prob dont really know what a good handling car is supposed to feel like. A tall guy sat in the back last week, and didnt complain, but havent paired him up with any fatties just yet.

    Well, I finally got my new car. Within minutes of taking these pictures I park it in the garage and my mom gets into her car and opens her door into the side drivers panel of mine. A small ding but it kinda put me off, if you know what I mean. Ill get an estimate tommorow or something. Well here are some pictures, and the egg-nog.

    wow, that's b-e-a-u-tiful, I love Mazda's but when you said it was white I thought, oh dear.. the only cars that look good in white a VW Golf GTIs and Lambo's. But having seen a 6MPS in white, I have to say it looks fantastic especially round back!
