Hello, This is my car She is called Kelly and is a 1979 Mazda 626 hardtop 2.0 litres she once had almost 100 horses, (actually 98) A five speed manual transmission, and does 0-100 kph in just in time. I first saw her on the internet, and knew i just had to buy her, it was a 3 hour drive, one way, but it was worth it even the 3 hours back in the dark in pouring rain, alone in the car without stereo. It is the second mazda i have owned

All the cars i have had, The ones I have now is Kelly (Mazda) And Sandra (Saab 9000. 2.0i) and a saab parts car

The saab was my daily driver but due to she recently getting rod knock so she is waiting for a new engine from my parts car, wich also happens to be a 2.0 turbo so i am not too sad about having to do an engine swap. :)

She's called Kelly because of that was the brand of tires that were on her when i bought her, And i thought it was a good name for her. She might be old, but she has a good engine, and is in good condition, and is cheap to drive, uses about 0,7-0,8 litres per 10km that i think is quite good for a 34 year old carburated car, my first mazda used 1,5 litres per 10 km on a good day with careful driving,. :)
