....and don't forget to change your RX8 status to 'owner'.

I spent days just looking at my cars when I first got them. And cleaning them slowly by hand shows you every shape on the body.

And if you're like me, you'll end up having all the photos rotated in every which way :shock: :lol: but yeah, as said above should work 8)

Very tidy for 46k miles.

The V-Power may have made a difference just because it was fresh, as the car had only done 3.5k miles in the last 13 months, so may have had some stale fuel in the tank.

That's more miles than BOTH of my RX8s put together. I wonder if anyone from Cornwall needs me to pick up a fuse from Berwick for them?

Always a true pleasure to sell a nice example of an RX-8 to somebody who is going to look after it. Congrats on your purchase Rory 👍

Just spotted your listing on eBay for your white R3 DU09 GZK here, sad to see you're selling, but still looks like a lovely car and hope the sale goes through well and you've been happy with it while you've had it :D :thumleft:

Very sad to put it up for sale bud to be honest, had some great plans for it and when I bought it from Nick I literally drove it home and and stored it over the winter whilst the roads were terrible, got it back on the road a month or two ago but circumstance with another kid now on the way just made me realise I don't have the time to do what I wanted with it, I am selling up pretty much all my cars now, just this and the Type R left, although as the ad says I am happy to keep it and store it if it gets no interest, same for the Type R.

Sad times :(
