it had the X-Men front body kit, and a Mazdaspeed rear spoiler.
Exchanged appreciating glances.

Hi Sean, I thought that was you going the other way, sorry I didn't give you a whistle, by the time I realised it was you it was too late.

Apologies to the other 3 RX8's (2 red & 1 black) who were caught up in the traffic jam behind a big steam engine going through the middle of Aylesbury on Saturday morning.

I've waved at quite a few rex's with little reply.

BUT I finally got my wave reciprocated with a wave AND a smile from another strato rex 06plate in Horndon on the hill. :D

I vow to keep waving for the rest of my RX8 life :twisted: :wink:

Saw a red evolve in Newcastle 1/10/06 whilst on the bus going to the start of the Great North Run. Thought it might be Evolve230?
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!!

Got flashed & waved back to a Silver? (sun was in my eyes) RX8 yesterday morning on top of Portsdown Hill (Portsmouth).

Then had another Winning 04 plate pull up behind me at Tescos petrol station (79.9p/litre with the 5p off for spending £50 on Stella in the shop :D :D ) ) Had a mutual nod / admiring glance (at the car- I hasten to add!! :wink: )

Saw two 8's today when I came out of work at lunch...

A silver let me out and then that turned off and from behind it emerged a VR with its foot down catching me up...

The VR had a lowered and offset plate and I knew it as soon as I saw the face in my rear view mirror... It was Honeyball... Surprised you didnt wave mate :D

Two, one silver and one red about 4 cars apart by brixton hill on the south circular at about 11am yesterday. I was turning left so there was a line of traffic on my right and so I didn't get a look at the reg.
