These used to be quite common back in the day. They aren't overly sporty in turbo trim but have a quite robust four cylinder engine. This one is suffering a bit from non-standard hubcaps but otherwise quite nice.

Covers a 1980 Can Am MX6 Dirt Bike that was at the show.
Taken in Rainbow Show n Shine, Victoria in 2017.
Mazda launched the second generation MX-6 using the GE platform, shared by the 626 and Ford rebadged cars, the Ford Probe and the Ford Telstar.
It was released in three distinct variants worldwide, known as A-spec, E-spec, and J-spec, which relates to their destined markets – U.S., Europe, and Japan, respectively.
The A-spec variant for the North American market was manufactured alongside the Ford Probe and Mazda 626 from 1992 as a 1993 model by AutoAlliance International in Flat Rock, Michigan. Three trim levels were available on the A-spec models:
RS – Base model, fitted with the FS-DE 2.0 DOHC I4 engine, making 118 hp (88 kW).
LS – Luxury model, fitted with the KL-DE 2.5 DOHC V6 engine, making 164 hp (122 kW).
LS M-edition – A special edition based on the LS.
Built from 1991 in Japan, for Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, compared to the A-spec, the E-spec has different headlights (a two-piece projector setup giving far greater lighting) and taillights, different front and rear bumpers, fog lights, wing-mirrors (power and heated), steering wheel, interior trim, and alloys as standard.
The engine was the same as the U.S. version – the KL-DE 2.5 DOHC V6 engine, making 165 PS (121 kW).
The J-Spec version sold in Japan was exclusive to Japanese Mazda dealerships, and was not badge engineered and sold at other Mazda Japanese dealerships, unlike the MX-3, the MX-5, and the RX-7 coupes.
Engine choice was the KL-ZE 2.5 DOHC V6 making 200 PS (147 kW), a high-compression version of the KL-DE, or the KF-ZE 2.0 DOHC V6 making 160 PS (118 kW); all of the K-series engines in the MX-6 were based on the same engine block and included those found in the Ford Probe, Xedos 6, and MX-3 V6 models.

I decided to build a bike from my Ibex Ignition parts I had left over after that frame broke.
One thing missing is a front derailleur, as I was waiting on a 31.8 shim to be able to fit it to the new seat tube.
I had a lot of fun putting this together, and it actually rides and tracks really well.

It's Friday night, TV is rubbish and can't sleep.
I've never been one for raves, partying and getting drunk etc when I was in my early 20's. I always liked having a good quality car. I was reminiscing about the old days and found a picture of my pride and joy. Before I had this car, I had a Mazda MX6. I had stopped smoking and used the money I was saving on cigarettes to buy the Mazda.
To celebrate having the Mazda, I lit up a cigarette!......couldn't afford the two cars and cigs, so the mazda had to go. The insurance on the Nissan was a group 20, and cost more than the Mazda, a nightmare to insure in your early 20's.

Nice to see this tonight. It had the look of a one owner car to me, and it's not far off being, the current owner having had it since March 1998 (first registered in January 1996).
I'm pretty sure both number plates were the originals from Blackpool Mazda Centre.
