I also lost a rear bumper reflector on the way home any idea where I can get one of these from? :( Another quirk I found is that it doesn't like to eat CDs, it half eats them and then spits them back out! What Dr Frankenrex said about trying to eject discs - you may have a few copies of Queen's gre...

Hi Ian and . Nice looking car. Thanks for joining - you should now be full access - apologies for the slight delay, it was a hectic weekend.

Updated first page for January as December is the RX8OC / MRC Christmas meal.

And so it starts! (the project, as obviously the car doesn't any more!)

Small but fun gathering. Nice to meet you Ron. Good luck with the engine out! Hopefully see you in the new year.

There'll be plenty of passenger rides available. Welcome to sit in mine though it almost certainly won't be the fastest ride.

In and out of the cold. Table 56

Final bump in case anyone is available last minute, see you there:

I'm afraid it doesn't look like I'll make it.

Alasdair, it might be a bit of a trek from Oxford, but we're having a social meet in west Milton Keynes of Friday: viewtopic.php?f=99&t=44530
You'd be welcome.

https://www.3dcadbrowser.com/3d-model/interior-mazda-rx8-2004 from Dan's link ^^. Looks like possibly a polished up lidar scan(?) of the interior. Most of the details look to be there, though in low polygon rendering, including steering wheel buttons etc. The two seatbelt attachments on the B pillar...

Quick timelapse of my day:

If you select a photo on Flickr (from a full size computer anyway) there should be a down pointing arrow in the bottom right corner that lets you pick a resolution to download?

Welcome Alasdair.
If you add your location to your profile then if you ever need help, folks will be able to provide or suggest local assistance.
Also, share photos of your car - we always like photos!

Carl, I was going to say with the R3 idea you showed in another thread, you could shift the USB sockets to the left of both gauges so any cables don't obstruct the view?

not helped by the traffic at times... from memory, down to 15mph or less on a few occasions

I found, in those conditions, I mostly still had to feather the accelerator out of the hairpin in 2nd in the R3 otherwise the backend would twitch and catch itself

Giving November a bump - It's this coming Friday.
Who's coming? So far it looks like Me and AMH plus our partners and possibly Ebb?

okay - apparently my entire footage from Mallory is a shade over two hours long, stitched together. Sure I can trim a good chunk out of that from the pit and paddock outs and ins, and there's probably some audio from me that nobody needs to hear!

Nigel, did you know you were responsible for nudging the cones out of place along the gravel trap after "Devil's Elbow?" I was sitting in Haydn's passenger seat as we followed you around the track and watched you skim down the edge of the kerb and shunt them back a couple of feet. Don't think you to...

Here's a quick screenshot of Ian taking out his frustration with the Astra / Vectra on some of the cones round Gerrards...

Don't have a basis for comparison, but I'd say my R3 maybe needs 500ml after 8-10 full fills (if that). Or about that much after 20 minutes of hard driving round Mallory...

Thanks all for much fun. Haydn, that was so good in the rain, though I didn't realise those were Friday's clothes! Malcolm, top effort and some confidence building examples. I finally had that bloomin' Vectra at the end - had to make him let me through! I've yet to review the in car video, but hopef...

Will pluck up the courage to introduce myself and say hello next time

Do come say high next time (and ogle Chris's supercharger!)
Sure you could have had a passenger ride or two as well.

Found the speedbump. I'm not lowered.

Bad luck John. Good luck with the credit-seeking! Everyone coming is welcome to stick stuff in the garage - I've never been so popular!! :lol: After the last track I'm also bringing spare brake pads. (Also fluids and the monster jack / stands etc.) Pondering the spare wheels with rubbish tread - pla...
