Saw and heard a sporty sounding Metallic Red 06 plate at around 3-30ish today just outside Bolsover nr Markham Vale on the A632 heading toward Chesterfield. I was going to wave but was driving a Landrover !

I see an 56 plate, looks slightly modified at the garage in East Calder, near Edinburgh every day. Grey colour, not Met grey like mine but looks a fantastic car. That and an 06 231 which fills up at Sainsbury’s at Longstone Edinburgh. Fewer and fewer on the road since 06 when I bough my first RX8

All of us aficionados need to stick together. That 06 plate (appears to be a 192) looks a cracking car.

Two sightings of a grey RX8, once leaving Milton then a 54 plate on the A14. Probably the same car but not entirely sure as I didn't catch the reg first time.

My dyslexic brain picked up on "blue, light, RX8, flashed" and what I visualised was
Police Rex.jpg
Were you actually referring to just Winning Blue rather than Strato or Stormy Blue?

I've often wondered what an 8 would look like in a true light blue, like the frontend of this

You should report that and send the video to the police - no excuse for that kind of driving

i don't like this attitude of anyone that does wrong should be videoed and reported to the police...

seems all very animal farm to me, and none of us are angels..... we all do stupid (if not that stupid^^^^) stuff occasionally....

i'm not defending that driver by the way, just not condoning grassing on every one we can catch in the slightest bit of wrong doing. whats next? full on communism?

Lovely RX8 on the M25 near Heathrow around 3pm. I am pretty sure it was a 40th anniversary edition in grey.

I was in another lane but an attempt to read the plate in my side view mirror was deciphered as KR57 KRU.

Last seen owned on the forum in 2014.
