Same i cant believe my ears when i heard jays name im like speechless i hope jay brings his VL to summer bash in nz next time id love to see MM’s reaction and hope he can appreciate the hard work that was put into that build
As a young Hamilton scumbag in the early 2000's, Mad Mike and Fursty was king scumbag. Even though I never met him his reputation was legend at that time. It's so great to see him go on to succeed on the world's stage from those days when the rest of the world was basically on another planet.
10:30 "I run what I brung man" - Kiwi slang at its finest, proud to have you as an ambassador Mike, great personality and entertainer, on and off the track
Two legends hanging out. I'm an old dude, and it's so cool to see MM doing his thing for so long, one of my fav guys in the moto days. Thanks again Larry for always finding those gems out there to share with us.
Remember seeing Fursty around Mt Maunganui and Tauranga back in the day. Iconic car even for non rotary fans back then. Can’t wait to see Mike thrashing it on the track.
As a kiwi watching this do stand stills in his drive 20yrs ago its awesome to see his and this cars journey. Impeccable build quality as always with him and his team but would love to see it just blue with the original stickers, but I spose that's cos I love the old filth like this haha
This wagon is one of if not the biggest car icon in new zealand I remember those skids at skid fest and to see it now back and reborn as a d1gp car is soooooooo dope to me bro ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I uploaded an old video from 2003 of this car skidding at a skid competition in Merermere New Zealand. Old / terrible quality, but worth a quick watch to see this car how it used to be.
Mike's one of "the few" in motorsport than i consider living legends, whatever they are doing. KB was (and still is) another one. There's people like them that just, i don't know, radiates the spirit of motorsport i guess... We're so lucky to have them. Oh, and Larry is also one of those legends, of course !!
If only you could do this type thing with every person who is in the car world . His attitude is very awesome . Its about entertaining the fans regardless! ❤
Holy crap Jay is an absolute legend! I can't believe he just gave his AE86 front end to Mad Mike? That kind of sh!t is gonna make you a Mad Mike friend for life. Wow!
Yep was a very kind thing to do from Jay with our ridiculous time frame, I’ll always appreciate Jay for this, definitely look forward to the day I can return the favour in whatever way 🤘🏽
@@madmike.123 dude that's legendary! All of this love going on in the rotary scene! This is awesome. Thanks Mikey look forward to seeing you rip that PP wagon. Yeah Boi 🤟
I was a menace in the street culture back in the 2000s Auckland night drags was solid drink smoke weed and tires lol this mf is a legend and always will be same so Nico Reid coming from south Auckland streets to drifting nz people love mad Mike cz we know he came from nothing❤YQMAMA
FURSTY....hell yeah!! So good seeing this car revived and evolved.....brings back so many memories of the NZ car culture in the early 2000s.....loved seeing and hearing this beast back in the day!!
Hey guys , gotta say it was a fantastic interview with Mike , such a nice guy always and to hear his recollection about the Mazda top brass loving his efforts and dedication to the brand emotionally is a true testament to who Mike really is ❤ thanks 🙏
got to drive this beast when she was white 16 years ago the 13b pp was soo responsive. What a change it has gone through. Amazing. Another 1 smashed outa the park farkin WOW
Mike, it is so awesome to be able to get your first baby back! I know where mine is (sadly she’s only good for parts). Larry thank you for doing what you do. It’s about the only way I will be able to experience some of the automotive world!
@madmike.123 I'll admit i shed a tear watching you cut up the rear guards .... but to see what you've done is amazing bro!!! I'll be watching you shred in this from Perth with my daughter!!! Chur bo.
I love how genuine Mad Mike is and the link with another humble guy like Kawato San who together create awesome cars like these are what keeps motorsport alive
As a Mazda number 1 top brand fan and RX7 fan in general plus loving estates or wagon cars, this just made my evening. I can dream of having enough money and meet one day Mad Mike and speak to his team to prep one of these beauties for me🤗😎

"Motorsport is our treasure. We must never lose our treasure", is the most Japanese sentence ever spoken.
Agreed
From what I've heard, Japanese people often travel to Australia for business and vice versa so it might be the same for NZ.
Mad Mike is a G for shouting out Low Standards Jay on the crossmember hook up.
Just went to comment this! Jay is the man!
Same i cant believe my ears when i heard jays name im like speechless i hope jay brings his VL to summer bash in nz next time id love to see MM’s reaction and hope he can appreciate the hard work that was put into that build
Jay is such a legend and doing that has just cemented him as a mate of Mad Mike forever!
Hell props from MML to Jay from low standards ...made my heart warm....if that dont speak volumes that your top of your craft Jay Duca...❤
