Thought it had to be James with the Mazdaspeed kit :nod:

'fraid I couldn't see whether you were waving or not because of the reflection of the trees above.

Saw another 8 near Virginia Water, think it was on of the old darker green ones, but didn't get a wave back... then later had a guy wave to roll down my window at lights on the A30 nr Heathrow; to ask me what I was driving! Not had that happen before... :wink:

Followed a stripey titanium grey into Oulton Park this morning. Think it belongs to someone from here but can't remember where I've seen the picture. Also saw a black PZ parked up a few cars down from where the majority of Lotus were parking. Top day out at the circuit.

Nope, dirty car would be me (did you notice the plate? I'm 04), and I usually wave back, unless I'm in attack mode :-)

The clean yellow one belongs to someone else, who I have seen at St Peter's Way lights once and waved. Tis a lady someone else.

in a nutshell, Mazda agreed to replace the scratched seat backs under warranty, booked the car in for the whole day at Peoples and after 4 hours they found the parts they had were wrong,and now need to get to the bottom of whether they ordered the wrong parts or Mazda sent the wrong parts, bottom line is I had a wasted day without the car, and now need to book it in again once they find out which bits of the seat they actually need :roll:
to get this back on topic :wink: I was around Garston & Aigburth the other day and saw a few...must be getting to be a bit of a hot spot for 8s :lol:
