You'd think they would at least stick to the one brand, or failing that at least stay with VAG

LED's only work the one way due to them being a diode ie power only flows one way..... Not like a 501 bulb where you can use it anyway in the holder!

I wonder if ShadowHearth will go for this supercharged 20th anniversary edition MX-5 to go along with his 10th ann. edition.

I think the funniest ones are when someone sticks on the likes of an M5 badge on one side, and leaves the 520i on it too (similar to the RS4 TDI)

The petrol rs4's don't have the "choooo" like the tdi version.

It is not a production model, but it shows what mx5/miata about. Those little things love to be upgraded and customised. Its like Mazda gave a blank gokart and said: "Go fecking crazy, son!"
I wish I could spend some money on my mazda, but being broke and having more hobbies then needed does not help me.

Some coil overs, an exhaust and a TD04. Can't cost that much.

If your around Mondello at all, at the beginner course for €25 euro they drive you around in a proper race edition MX5 its pretty awesome.
You'd love it!
