Hello from the U.S.

Post by mooshu47 »

Hi everyone, I'm from Dallas, Texas USA and I currently own 2 RX-8s. Here is a picture of one of them alongside its family:

The other one I just picked up over the weekend, it's a brilliant black and I'm planning to scavenge some parts from it then hopefully sell it.

That looks more like Arlington than Dallas, but at least the sun is shining on those very clean cars 8)

Just the otherside of Bedford?

Anyway :welcome:

Be aware, when you're reading through any existing threads, or asking questions on here, that our UK-spec cars came with a bunch of stuff that was either not available or came as expensive options in the US. Though we never had the option of automatic transmission, cruise control (S1) or other stuff that some of you guys couldn't live without.

Oh, and we have the important seat on the right ;)
