I saw a blue one in Toton about 330 this afternoon with fancy headlights. Didn't get the number but waved at it.

So after 6 months, i've finally seen another RX8 out in the wild, allbeit parked up on grass at the Newport Pagnell carnival yesterday afternoon.

It was a velocity red S1 with a private plate and in my excitement of seeing another VR S1...and in my home town...i didn't even clock the reg details, altough i suspect it belongs to a RX8OC member. Had some damage to both the rear drivers wing and passenger front wing which was sad to see. I loitered for a bit to try and identify the owners but no such luck.
Velocity Red S1 231 PS with silly low mileage and great compression...only flooded once...never again

Was cycling in Enfield, saw a lovely black S1 parking at Freezy Water at a housing complex, YT54 plate. Dunno if the owner lives there, it's 5 mins from mine, great looking car, haven't noticed or seen around before.

You can almost see the fuel level disappearing, been up and down the A55 last week and this week and not seen a single 8, although I did see a Ferrari today on the way to Carnarvon (I think Carnarvon was shut though, it certainly felt like it) new saying rarer than a running rx8 (instead of hens teeth or rocking horse pooh)

I'm up and down the A55 between Bodelwyddan and Chester at weekends
Kinmel Bay to Chester and back is £40 now👍
The Ferrari will get more MPG probably.

Only put 99ron in it so either have to go into Shell Rhyl which is still £2.03 or Shell Abergele but can only use 1 pump there as the car bottoms out on the others or pop to Tesco Prestatyn for Momentum at 1.88 🥺

Noticed a nice VR glinting in the sun when I was pulling my car into the drive at the weekend.

Saw a very bright, loud and shouty green 8 coming towards the black cat roundabout this morning, albeit slowly due to traffic! Guessing that was Christine?
