Mazda is part owned by Ford, so that almost makes it British, unless Ford is American?

Alan, there is no relationship between Ford & Mazda anymore. Ford owned 1/3 in the 80s & maybe more later, but had to sell everything with their near bankruptcy experience in 2009/2010.

Is it just me, or is there more fun in the forums recently?

Front ride height looks wrong, or is it to do with Federal spec?
