Good to see you with another Rotary that I\'ve no doubt you will keep as nice as your Gen 2 and its a nice looking car already.

Good choice but I\'m glad I can\'t make Brookland this year now - it was bad enough having three blue R3\'s last year let alone four! :eek :Giggle

This is true - obviously the best colour!

Everyone is also getting the R3 reg plates - had mine for 15 years.

I am not into number plates myself so no fear there. Definitely the best colour though, looked at nearly all the colours before deciding then had to wait for one to come up for sale, took nearly six months for a good one to appear.

Thanks Clive, but Gen 2 may have to go up for sale unless other half can be convinced in due course (which of course i will work on - an anniversary trip to Rome is just for starters!!).

After my old Strato was stolen I just had to have another blue one but they were in really short supply. Had to pull in a couple of favours from Mazda to get me one. Two years ago today - Happy Birthday Rexy! :wiggle

The R3 is also nice in white but I think that would be even harder to keep clean. :eek

I didn\'t like it in white only other colour I considered was Diamond Grey but they were as scarce as the blue ones.

hi

blue is the only colour lol. i love my 2004 winning blue 231ps, seen a black r3 on ebay for nine grand which looked stunning, but i love the blue of your r3.

gonna leave it until the prices come down if i decide to buy an r3, i do like my 2004, would be great to see how they differ in driving etc.

there was a white r3 near me for sale a year back and it shot past me on the motorway, looked great all the same.
