Greetings from Hong Kong

Post by ellistai » Wed Feb 27, 2019 4:03 am

Hello there,

Like some fellows on here, browsing used car ads for sale is my daily routine. Then one day I encountered this E85 3.0 manual, the condition is so good that I couldn't resist but buying it. Sigh, another spending that I did anticipated coming :roll:

This is my 2nd convertible, first being Mazda MX-5 1st generation. With M54, the E85 is a very powerful car and a great one to drive (except that I now need to tackle the infamous sticky steering problem :| )

Anyway, cheers to everyone here! I am sure this is a resourceful place that I can learn from you all.

Good day, and happy motoring with good health!

Hi
Your car looks to be in great condition. I am sure you will enjoy it at least as much as the Mazda. Hope you get your steering fixed. :D
