So myself, Coulda & Willpower got together on Sunday 21st to discuss the location of our major Mazda 3 meet later on this year... We met Coulda at his military base, RAF Fairford near swindon.

We left our Mazdas at the base and went to see the park in coulda's Saturn which isnt all that bad actually... its seems like a good, fast and reliable car.. lol :lol:

We chose the Cotswold Water park area, more specifically the Keynes Country Park... which is in shorcote, map below, click on the link:

A few shots of the park:

Lake View

Unfortunately my camera man only took shots of the lake.. :shock: lol but i personally recorded footage from the car park/park on my camcorder. so i'll post you guys a clip asap...

Then we headed back to RAF Fairford, where we started checking out each others Mazda's and taking pictures....


The blue sedan is Willpower's and the silver hatch is mine.. and thats me with the camcorder.. lol

It's a fully functional aerial that I got locally a very long time (Like 2 years) ago. Way before the GB on the BMW style shark fin.
Works fine.

Like Neeldub say they are Automatic Headlamp washers, came as standard on UK spec 2004 Sport model ( See my avatar ). Likely to be video footage of them in operation later. Watch this space. Have you never seen the TV advert with the inquistive dog ?

It's the UK TS spec. Just another regional variation. Don't knock it we have other things that you don't (see above)

Thanks for the photos Neeldub.
I know there were only two MZ3's there but as far as I can make out, it was the very first time in UK that there has been such a meeting. Hopefully it will persuade other owners to join us later in the year. Keep an eye on the forum for future information.

i dont need headlight washers nor do i think i would use them if i did have them. the hatch needs a spoiler. it looks like poo without it.
