The policy on the "Mazda Rotary Club" site about this is that you MUST NOT post people's registrations, or locations where the vehicle is parked... I agree with this, it seems to be common sense.

The most ever seen was yesterday - unbelievably 4 (normally 0 or 1)

Seriously long day, of picking up Director from Stansted Airport, driving to the office in Brum, and then returning the same route all before driving home;
I saw V.Red, Black and Silver on on the M11, then another V.Red near Baldock.
All too fast :wink: to be able to respond with greetings.

Spotted my first Nordic last week on Crow Road in Glasgow. Pulled up alongside me at the lights, but no wave.

Is it just me, or would that look good with GOLD strakes. Maybe a bit too Lexus.

Usually wave to another blue in Dumbarton every morning, always get a friendly wave back.

Got a wave from a red one a couple of weeks ago in Kirkintilloch.

Usually see more when I'm out in the shopping trolley (Fiat Punto)

A trip up to Crawley, the in-law had a stall at the folk festival up there.

Along the coast to Chichester, then up the A285, A272 and A24

In the round trip we stopped 10 RX-8s in total. Two blues, two greys, a black and 5 reds!

Most were on the motorway, but the the one red I did pass close by waved back when we I flashed just outside Petworth.

We started nice car spotting, 911's were the winner, closely followed by Elise's.

Well....ventured into the south for the first time in a while and you guys seem to be way behind us in the north in the prchasing stakes!! Can't make up my mind if it's a good thing or a bad thing - exclusivity and all...anyway saw one blue on the A303 on monday, and the same titanium ***LVR in a (DHL?) car park on the way into yeovil every day for a week! Saw my first black in sheffield the other day, parked up on london road.....any of these any of you? Still no nordics tho.............

Spotted two new 8's on the way into Leeds today. I quite often see a few, but these were for the first time.

Tit Grey with private R800 plate going like the clappers on the A58, overtaking a Winning Blue, which appeared to be lost as it turned round further on and followed me.

Spotted 2 RX-8's on the way to work this morning. Both were going south on the M1 around Juntion 28 at 9:20, this morning.

A Silver one license plate WP53*** and a black one (which I think I see most evenings going the other way).

First silver I have seen for a while. There is one or 2 blacks I see regularly and a grey around Jct. 27 I see occasionaly.

See a super looking L Yellow on a regular basis in Pontefract usually on the Doncaster Road, and last night around 8.15 in Pontefract town centre saw a stunning looking V Red with a private plate V111, any of you good people on here.
