Completed the thousand mile drive to work! Now to let rex hibernate over the winter in the garage...

Note, I spent around ten hours driving yesterday(from one side of France to the other and then some) and the car was flawless up and down the mountains. Plenty of fun on the winter tyres!

Strong tailwind perhaps? Normally I can get 200 miles out of 3/4 tank on the European roads at 130kph(81mph), then I get scared and cluck my way to the nearest filling station.

What do I need to replace/have repaired here?



Any advice on where to get the bodywork done etc would be much appreciated!

Awesome, time to see if I can get off work for it!

Seriously tempted by the second round - would a decat be any issue here?

Yes, not sure how long I’m in the uk for as I have work but I’m interested for sure! When is best for you?

Dug her out and drove across the UK west to east. Was muchly cold and snowy. Toasty as hell inside though

Most definitely didn’t do burnouts into and out of every service station car park as well...

Sorry, but I’ll be out of the country on this date!!! Perhaps next time!

Someone in a blue rx8? Southbound M5 by Bristol around half 8

I’m up near Minehead and my time off work is super limited but I’d be interested! (The A39 from Porlock to Lynton is a really nice road on a good day)

I’m definitely a maybe for this!

The last run of the day, and one of only a few I remembered to catch on camera. Overcooking the high speed corner part is a personal highlight

Quality day and quite awesome to see so many 8’s(and a sneaky 86) all in one place!

All good on mine. Anyone considering running winter tyres for this?

Fish and chips please!

Metra kit fitted and aftermarket HU connected(just about) up to the stock Bose until I find time to get down to JRMOTORWORX for the sweet Kicker system that'll be going in!!!

Also finally fitted a little magnet to keep the ashtray lid from flicking shut all the time.

Day off, needed to transport a colleague to work though. 5 minute drive turned into a 45 minute blast up and down the local hill. Had some double beeps as well - how interesting...

Might be a dead body rather than a child seat...

Not quite as heartwarming

Scything through the english countryside on a perfect afternoon to the sound of bond film soundtracks.

Nobody does it better(than the rx8). Literally couldn't have been happier in any other car.

As soon as the boot lid shut you just know something is up. I was looking extraordinarily sheepish for a while just wandering in the car park. AA guy was awesome, we opened the car in about 2 minutes and chatted for a good while after. Of course he has heard of the problems where people don't run th...

Count me in!

Yellow bodykitted one on the A39/A38 this evening.

Locked the keys in the boot. 5 embarrassing calls later and the AA man helped me get in. Spare key was 300 miles away and all the local auto locksmiths were busy.

Plonker.

Velocity red(I think!) at a roundabout near Bridgewater

I've specifically not done this
