Welcome to the forum, Linker!

I do like your car and I have question: what is that tent-like building in the back ground?

Thank you for the feedback.
The structure built in the back is a fixed cover of a multi-uses area, where it´s possible do concerts or football games. It's in Guarda city in Portugal.

I found it on the Google map. Guarda is way up in the mountains. It must be beautiful there.
I am sure you meant to say "soccer", because "football' is something else over here. Best of luck against Denmark!

Yes, Guarda is near of "Serra da Estrela" (I don´t know the correct translation, but maybe "Estrela Mountain" or "Star Mountain") and it´s is very beautiful, namely in winter when there is snow...Is the higest city of Portugal.

Yes I wanted to say "soccer", sorry...
Thanks...I hope that Portugal and England go to the final

By the way...Do you have any mazda??

Welcome Linker and yes, nice car!! I'm liking that sky blue more and more every time I see it.

And as for the soccer/football argument, its we North Americans that have it wrong. What is soccer to us has been football to the rest of the world for a long, long time. As far as I'm concerned, we were wrong to call another game football.
I say keep calling it football, its real name.

"Star Mountains" is a good translation. Your English is very good!

I currently have'98 Mazda Protege (familia, 323 in some countries) and I used to have a '86 323 Hatchback.

Again best of luck with futbol!

I´m 23 years old and I always call the football by football... your football will be the our rugby?Maybe?

My car is the first Mazda that we have in my family, but I personaly I always liked the 323 models, indeed I always liked Mazda and for me is the Japan mark that has the most beautiful cars, and of course one of that has more reliability.


One question...How is the pos-selling serviçe in your country??Good?? Bad?? Expensive??

Dealers usually are expensive. Independent mechanics are less expensive and often more skilled. But it takes some effort to find the good ones.

I think it is the same all over the planet.

Soccer, Football, who cares . Don't watch or follow either. I don't watch superbowl (maybe half time show) and definitely don't watch World Cup.
