I don`t know as one of the other 40th owners had a complete dealers list which I have got which was comprehensive enough to show which car by VIN was allied to the build numbers, we only have 34 out of 500 for the Kuro register unless Dave can do something with it.

Part of the 400 40th Build numbers and allocated VIN`s if that makes sense, between 001 and 400 Build numbers there is a difference of 947 VIN`s. 001 = 149558 005 = 149562 ----- 5 off 006 = 149574 009 = 149577 ----- 4 off 010 = 149591 017 = 149598 ----- 8 off 018 = 149611 022 = 149615 ----- 5 off 02...

I have already checked the VIN`s for the 40th Anniversary which have varying gaps compared to the 1- 400 build numbers so I would assume the other special editions are the same.

Chris you never know one day we may have 499 build numbers registered then you would know yours!

Latest advice to EV owners due to the recent high temps - keep the car in the shade and don't exceed 80% on a charge as batteries don't like the heat!

Will check the rota but more than happy to help out in Flos - not sure why but she tends to be a bit of a hit with kids 😂 The young kids are geared up to appreciate anything with Green credentials :mrgreen: - but if questioned about fuel consumption there are 2 options - either :^o or [-( * * Del.

Having owned several RX7`s I should imagine you realise this is the place to find a decent RX-8, also there is an endless amount of knowledge available for paid up club members - the buyers guide is helpful and good luck with your search.

A lot of people had already commented that the car looks really cool and that you don't see many around nowadays (there are only 800 192s left!),

That would be somewhat of a conservative figure, there are approx` 2,700 still in existence.

I hope you don`t mean the two clowns plus one have produced a petrol alternative You mean one day in the not to distant future past 2030 I might finally be able to brush the cobwebs off and run the RX-8 again.

Just out of curiosity will it arrive with a speed limiter fitted now that the EU has decreed all new cars have to have them - a Porsche with a speed limiter seems a bit at odds with what a Porsche is.

Lots are being ordered by public bodies. Councils, civil service, government, police forces, quangos, NHS etc. ELECTRIC police cars are running out of charge when responding to emergencies because the sirens and blue lights drain the batteries, according to a Police and Crime Commissioner.

It is reported that EV sales are ever increasing say over Diesels but I can get a Petrol or Diesel but not Electric so where are they all coming from, or is it just sales without buyers actually taking ownership?

Well it must be my part of the country - I stopped at an Hyundai dealer to have look at an AWD IONIC 5 Electric which are circa £42K - £53K they haven`t got one not even a petrol version and they are quoting possibly 12 months delivery but not sure!

What a joke!

Personally, hating the silent, boring, automated nature of my works car inspired me to buy my RX8, which unsurprisingly made me enjoy driving once again. Last night driving along the Ring Road in Coventry a Lexus IS500 F Sport passed me and the driver booted it going under a bridge Jesus I don`t kn...

There is an easy answer to that better to be safe than sorry!

The British government wants to increase the number of public charging points for electric vehicles in the UK to 300,000 by 2030. To achieve this goal, it is investing a total of 1.6 billion pounds.25 Mar 2022 :yeah: :lol: How many EV charging points will the UK need? According to ZapMap, there are ...

I have a driveway but we've been told we're not allowed charge points in our village (had my head in an engine bay when the neighbours told me so can't remember why 😂 something about being a protected area i think) and am sure we're not the only one so no idea what the plan there is supposed to be ...

A third of UK homeowners don’t have a driveway or garage to install a home charge point, on-street chargers make up a quarter of the UK charging network but the majority are in London, in Coventry that figure rises to 50% of homes that do not have off street parking and the council have just announc...

My brother is a BT engineer and quite often he has his van at home if he has an early start and a long distance to drive to another part of the country, in addition until recently he had 2 sons at home who are also BT engineers with their own vans with the same requirements and that is in addition t...

Something that seems to have been overlooked is having the ability to charge an EV at your home but just about everyone I know the household consists of a minimum of 2 cars some 3 or even 4 cars owned by sons & daughters with some parked on the drive and the street how will charging work with th...

The London Met have i3's on their fleet

The one to buy is the i3S in Red

It may appear that I am knocking EV`s I`m not in fact I`m still debating whether to go that way but I`m still not convinced.

Just one example but take a BMW i3 EV new £34K with a range of 177 - 190 miles now a 2014 car at 8 years old £13K to £16K with an 8 year battery warranty I can`t see people queuing round the block to buy one second hand let alone new.
