Collected my white MkII 3 MPS on a 62 plate this Wednesday, 12k on the clock so barely run in... Added a few miles on the trip back from Norfolk to the Warwickshire! Still getting used to the power delivery... Don't see many on the roads so I guess mine will be an unusual sight driving around Warwickshire on 'A' (Anglia?) prefix plates... Most powerful car I have ever owned during my 26 years of driving - closest thing (strangely) was a Volvo C30 D5 I had as a company car a few years ago. Loving the forum and keen to get involved but might wait until the Mazda warranty expires before carrying out any mods (call me cautious!).

Thank you guys for all the welcome messages, no chance to drive this weekend, too much DIY as commanded by her-in-doors, even looking forward to driving to work on Tuesday morning, now that is rare!
