Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I saw 5 parked up (at different houses!) in one village (Overton?) on the way back from Basingstoke last night, plus the 5 or 6 at RX motors in Salisbury (fish in a barrel) plus 3 on the road being driven. Swarming like flies!

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Last two days;
Birmingham to Birkenhead = 1 x VR & 1 x BB
Belfast to Groomsport = 1 x Grey
However, I wasn't driving my 8, so this applies

I've not seen one in the flesh/metal for ages, maybe a year!
Hence why I'm lurking on here, I miss my PZ

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
What an epic 20 seconds I had today ( cue Nigel ) was at a roundabout giving way to the right when a MK3 MX5 approaches ( rare where I live ) as if that wasn't good enough an RX8 approaches from the left,even rarer where I live.
Mazda just owned that roundabout for those 20 seconds.We were all just looking at each other,each one more surprised then the next I was surprised at the 5,he was surprised at the S1 8 who in turn was amazed to see an R3
I wish I had a bloody dash cam,it was brilliant

R3 GONE, FUN WHILE I HAD HER BUT NOW LOVING MY 25TH ANNIVERSARY MX5

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Why steal something that has almost no value when you can steal a range rover?

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
It would cost them to steal an 8.They'd need to fill up shortly after stealing it
