A20, Roundhill Tunnel (westbound) this morning a glorious 1/4 mile of rotary sounds ricocheting around the tunnel as mine was passed by a black PZ, high-times indeed on an overcast Sunday. Both of us got some decent flamage, too.

Flash and a wave on the A4 yesterday afternoon heading towards Slough from Maidenhead - black R3 PY09XXX? My little lad was excited that "they've got a car like ours!" and now thinks mine (or 'ours' apparently) needs a spoiler too...

If it was possibly FY09, it was a chap called Stu who lives in Maidenhead not sure if he visits this site or not, whenever I see him I’m never in an RX-8!

Strato blue or stormy blue I think it's called? Barrow-in-Furness today going past the costa near the police station... looked like it had an after market exhaust, didn't catch the plate as I was to busy admiring but it was a series 1

Don't know of many other 8s around me so it was a refreshing change to see :)!

Drove out to Formby this afternoon and ended up behind another 8, I want to say a copper red, we both acknowledged each other and had a little side by side drive before I turned off. Nice to see another one out and about as I haven't done for quite some time.

Seen a galaxy grey Pz yesterday heading into Tesco llantrisant, South Wales. I was gutted I wasn't in my Pz as this would have been rare to see two together side by side these days.

I have a theory about why you only see another 8 when you're driving something else...
