Hi Druck it could have been a mirror apart from his crest. I am crestless. And my car was much better than his, obviously :) .

Can we have some location information in these posts! Where the chuff in Brinkworth ? And how many Quinton Roads are there in the UK ?

Ok ok Olney is in north Bucks, new Milton Keynes/Bedford.

Sheesh!

I keep seeing a Winning Blue at David Lloyd in Milton Keynes - it was there again on Monday night (almost sounds like I visit the gym regularly! :wink: )

And on my way to Bristol cross country on Tuesday morning I saw six - including Mr BIG XXX behind me at a roundabout and a tight squeeze with a lady in a silver comming the other way.

Me too - it isn't mine! Mine rarely visits there as the family car usually makes that trip. Will keep my eye out for your bling wheels though Ann and will card you if I see you! :lol:

Titanium Grey leaving Shires on Lime Tree Way and heading down to the Basingstoke ring road yesterday at 4ish. Followed another (very dirty) Ti one down the slip road onto the ring road before peeling off and heading for the town centre.

Think there must have been some sort of grey convention in Basingstoke yesterday ;)

I've actually just walked around the car park at work and seen 6 RX8's parked up :shock:

Not counting mine...

4 of them were within 20 feet of each other too!

Anyone here parked on Moorland Rd car park, in Lytham St. Annes?

I can post up pictures later on.

Seen 7x RX8s today. I work at the end of the road of TW Whites Service and Parts centre in Byfleet so keep seeing all sorts of 8s going by...

Never seem to be able to run after them quick enough to give them a card. :lol:

I saw a dark blue Mazdaspeed with a silver stripe on the M25 a few days ago... :shock:

the blue/silver colour combo looked a bit wrong if I'm honest

I only use my car on business about once every couple of months so what are the chances that I get spotted? :shock:

Like you James John can't have been in his 8 as I would have recognised him - these people who have their initialls as reg's! :wink:

I see a lot of 8s around these parts and always try to wave, but never seem to get a response - until today.

So thank you WB driving into Welwyn Garden City this evening at about 6.30. So excited I didn't notice anything else about the car or driver. Not even sure if it was a man or a woman - I just saw the hand go up.

I shall go to bed a happy man tonight. (Sad life I lead...)
......you don't park in Waitrose car park do you only I've seen one parked there twice recently. You won't see mine in the car park as use the wife's car for shopping trips! If it's not you then there's at least 3 of us Strato's around here.


Well yes, I have done quite often in the past so a good chance it's me - especially if it's looking a bit grubby. I'm not so likely to be there in the future now that they have started this £10 minimum spend rule, I usually only buy a couple of bits and pieces.

I see a lot of 8's around but you are right, there are not so many stratos. I am KG06*** (often to be seen in Morrisons too :roll: )
ok, seems to be important: 190, Strato Blue, black leather. 29/03/06. Someone keeps stealing my fuel...
