Show us an RX-8!
I'd like to see more RX-8s, lot's of cool stuff goes on with them out there, so let's see some of them here.
Doesn't have to be your own 8, might be something you've seen you'd like to emulate to a degree.
To keep it flowing, no more than 2 pics per post please. (You can always post more later.. )
There is a chance we may want to use members RX-8 pictures (when they're of their car of course) posted here in future, for Club purposes that need pics. I'm not leading with that as it's not the primary function for this thread, but may prove useful.

Re: Show us an RX-8!
White 8s do look the nuts. And that yellow one just looks mean in a very good way.

Re: Show us an RX-8!
In no way current, but I am sat here watching the Nurburgring 24, a week after watching Le Mans, which prompted me to look up our first (of 4) RX8's we took to Le Mans in the year of the 20th anniversary of 787b win (it had way more graphics when we took it, but this was just before the ones we had custom made were removed):
and then with Chris231's car at the end of a day at the BTCC at Oulton Park:
She went on to a happy life with Big John from RotaryRevs, but I think the dreaded rust finally caught up with her. Still miss that car

Re: Show us an RX-8!
The attention to detail in there is incredible. And sooo clean!
Another that caught my eye, quite stock looking, but some very nice wheels and a bit of stance maybe? Still looks great.

I thought you had the final afterburn of flames shooting out of the exhaust in that 2nd pic, but on closer inspection it was a traffic cone....
