Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Just got myself the Mazda 6 i was after. The Sport model, TD Tourer, full spec. Had a spin in it to North Wales today... Oh i am pleased... I thought of you the other day when I saw one, remembered you saying you fancied one. Very nice motors. Them top spec ones especially. I imagine it goes well enough too ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now all i need is a nice fitting box for the dogs in the back, without spending a fortune! Sounds spot on mate. Nice one. The Trans K9 boxes really are decent. They don't come cheap but I think they are worth the money if you can stretch to one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
