"Motorsport is our treasure. We must never lose our treasure", is the most Japanese sentence ever spoken.

[@motogeee510]

Agreed

[@tiaraguy7705]

From what I've heard, Japanese people often travel to Australia for business and vice versa so it might be the same for NZ.

[@josephkornman6303]

Mad Mike is a G for shouting out Low Standards Jay on the crossmember hook up.

[@positiveenergyautomotive9724]

Just went to comment this! Jay is the man!

[@robertmurray2843]

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

[@jameshatton4405]

Jay is such a legend and doing that has just cemented him as a mate of Mad Mike forever!

[@tyjurgens6859]

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...❤

[@pdublt3d]

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.

[@mainey1512]

T-Straight when it had the 3 consecutive roundabouts 👌

[@biohazardousBiker]

Diesel drops for days 😆

[@bytmee69]

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

[@IDv8I]

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.

[@RezboaDog]

Mad Mike is forever the coolest drifter.

[@sidbobby3233]

Love the fact he's going 2 race what he started in. Build it, race it.... Nice 😎👊👍✌

[@smiles_per_hr6408]

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.

[@edgarsox230]

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

[@tessierrr]

D1GP just got alot more interesting 😄always love when MM competes, its 110% or nothing !

[@yongling9825]

He hasn't competed in D1GP in a long time, right?

[@madmike.123]

2013 was my last year at D1GP in JAPBUL so can’t wait to be back on the grid 🤘🏽

[@tonypearsephotos6751]

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.

[@kentbeitel9966]

Dude this thing is mad! I absolutely love wagons, and there is nothing better than the sound of a 4 rotor 🤘🔥 mad Mike always lives up to his name. 👌

[@motogeee510]

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! ❤

[@Desmond17]

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 !!

[@lelouchlamperouge4273]

mad mike is like the chuck norris of rotary, kiwi enginuity and sending it. glad to see his influence is global

[@sakonb]

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!!

[@georgegraham4911]

Mad mike 100% pure organic new Zealand styles from the beginning till now and still to come thrashit while you can the nz hustle with passion

[@connoisseuroftigolbitts]

Larry I just want to thank you for the daily uploads.. It’s been amazing!

[@jameshatton4405]

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!

[@madmike.123]

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 🤘🏽

[@jameshatton4405]

@@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 🤟

[@DJ_NOOB]

I just love Mike's spirit. "Run what you brung" Straight up love for the drive and putting a smile on people's faces. Makes me think me think of KB.

[@robertmurray2843]

Facts seeing your comment reminds me soo much of KB’s smile too i miss him soo much massive fan of his two legends doing what they love man

[@onemantwohands5224]

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 🙏

[@mikelyon5595]

Rocket Bunny makes everything better. Four rotors sound amazing!

[@neukin]

Nice.. your content is fantastic... don't need any fancy production, just details with juice. Thanks

[@jugcordslim2192]

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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Those custom "Advan A3E's" on the front are so, so dope 🥵 God I'd love to own this RX3/Savanna Sport Wagon 🤤

[@xorzero]

MadMike is the man! Love how inspirational his builds are!

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🤗😎

[@kezzakilla7171]
