Saw S/Silver at Hay's Garden Centre, A64 Leeds on Friday afternoon. :wink:
Titanium Grey, bling wheels (set number 6) Now gone but will never be forgotten, sat nav, I-mob tracking, SS Strakes, full set of RB grills, K&N Filter and Borla zorst. Now lowered.

Just ask me where anything is, it will be in the boot!!

Now she's "the reasonably priced car is the star" as driven by Jason Plato on Fifth Gear. :notworthy:

Spotted a titanium at 08:40, travelling behind me, with reg plate xx RXB and the plate positioned just under the mazda badge (not seen it there before) :?

We were both going through Chobham on the way to Virginia Water. I blasted off and didn't hang around - late for work!

Also spotted a black RX8 with private plates at around 15:40 on Friday - I was parked up waiting to have my car cleaned in the Jet garage in Woking.
