Found a copy of this book today.

 

Does anyone else have it?

 

If not, I reckon I can quote from it like a bible to support my arguments in my ongoing mission to 'boss' this place.

Yep, I have it. It is my "Bible" :D

Yep, I've got it aswell :D A very good book.

i had it for a while but then flogged it. i like the 3 prototype pictures where they were deciding what to make the Z look like. dont you think one of them looks like an MX5 and the other looks like a GTR32???

Definatly. I'd put money on the fact that Ford saw that 'MX5 alike' before designing the Probe too.

the probe was built with mazda thats why ;)

And the MX5 had nothing to do with the Probe, but the MX6 did ;)

i think IIRC you can get that book from amazon.co.uk :cool:

Take a look at the pics to see the resemblance

Sorry Steve, but I don't see what your post has to do with my post, as I stated the MX5 had nothing to do with the Ford Probe. The Ford Probe was built on the same floor pan as the MX6, absolutley NOTHING to do with the MX5. The only corrosponding factor was the Ford owned a 52% share of Mazda, hence the design use of the same floor pan, also the Escort had been used earlier on the Mazda 323(or one of it's numbers ;) ) and the Fiesta being used as another Mazda model more recentley.

I don't doubt that their are similarites at all with the early pre-design stage of our beloved Zed, but nothing to do with what I have just said.

 

I hope that clears up my post :D

No worries Dave,

Not exactly mate ;)

 

I only remember reading that "........had a hunch the N/A would be nicer for everyday driving........" and "....the regular car is light and easy to drive fast but the turbo requires more effort and is more the expert's car....." :D

 

Still, when it comes to colours there is no doubt.........

 

"......red is the designer's choice as the most appropriate colour........" :hyper:

 

Richard :cool:
