Good to see you too Nigel... new exhaust =P~ ...new spoiler =P~ ...new tints =P~ painted calipers =P~ . As I said, you caught me at one of the rare times when I've been driving my car since the little nipper was born... which also put a stop to any future mods I might do to my RX8 :cry: .

It was a veritable RX-8 heaven on my journey to work this morning... Pulled behind a WB 57 plate making a very short Rex convoy for a few roundabouts worth of road, then a BB went past the other way. This was all on the A350 past Chippenham, obviously the happin' place to be in your Rex this morning! Then a quick wave at a TGrey somewhere else on my way to Cheltenham...

AND I followed an Astin Martin DB9 for a bit plus there were 3 very red Ferraris in convoy on the A429 which was quite exciting too.

Oh and I was late for work. DOH! :D
07 Sparkling Black Kuro (303) - strakes, private plate. Definitely getting front numberplate lowered - soon!

The 'practical' vehicle is a 1986 petrol Land Rover... I think it does worse mpg than the Rex but I try to not count!

A festival of 8's yesterday on my weekly commute from Portsmouth to Plymouth.

I saw 6, two VR's, 2 BB, a WB and another Tit Grey. One on M27 Eastbound, two on the A31 on the Ringwood roundabouts stretch, one coming to the Roundabout (A350/A31) after the deer with 5 legs stretch, one at Morecomblake and finally one in Honiton.

Had a couple of waves back, and one look that said "whats that t**t waving at" !!

VR - GF06 X** with lowered plate @ Woodcote carpark - Silverstone on Sunday 31st for the BTCC.

I was parked about 5 cars down in the same row and was just heading back to my car as you drove out of the car park.

Also saw a black rex on the other side of the carriageway on the A34 heading towards the m40 @ 6pm.

On a 500 mile round trip to silverstone that was all I saw :(
