Default Hello - New Member

Hi, My name is Murray and I am a new member to your Forum.

I am from South Africa (Gauteng aria).

I drive a 2008 Mazda 2 1.5 Individual 5dr(In some countries it is known as the Sport) pearl white in colour. Never the less, it is the World Car of the Year for 2008 and I am very proud of that.

I am currently at work and I can not wait to go home in my Mazda 2.

Hey Murray!

I've never heard of the 2 until now, but I checked it out and they look pretty sweet.

Welcome Murray!! You probably wouldn't know this, but there used to be a famous radio disc-jockey here that went by(stage name)Murray the K.
We don't yet have the 2 in the United States but they say it's coming.
You should post some pictures if you are able.
Since the diesel is a 1.4L can Iassume you havethe 1.5L petrolengine in yours? I've read there are two different versions of it, a std power and a higher performance engine. Which does yours have?
Is this your first car?

I'd certainly consider one, assuming it accommodates tall people such at myself...

H'i guys, nice to meet you all. I did not even know about that "Murray the K", I just did not want to use my full name as a login name (My surname is actually "Kroucamp" - I think its dutch/german or something - I actually speak Afrikaans)

We only have one enjin 1.5 type andit has 76kw (around 100 hp -petrol)

We do not even have the 1.4diesel in SA only the 1.5 and 1.3 petrol.

The car is actually as big as a Mazda3 inside, it just lacks boot space. Tall people should have no problem in it.

This one is my 3rd car I have owned.First I had a 96' Toyota Conquest then a 2006 Ford Fiesta 1.6 diesel and now the Mazda 2 1.5 Individual(sport)

I went to fit somenewwheels to my car this morning and it looks nice.
