Do you see many RX8's?

[Lucky 8 Racing]

Spotted this one outside harrods this morning. Some very nice oem bits on it too

I wonder what engine it's running, given that plate, and if the owner knows there're outstanding recalls.

I see this regularly down the road from where I work in Southampton. Not sure if anyone on here might recognise it?

I've seen that one in Salisbury a few times as well!

This one isn't setting a good example

Two good spots today, a very low mileage black PZ in Cookham and a Lightning yella on the M4

There are 2 RX-8's at Bespoke Performance today

A Brilliant Black one being worked on and a Winning Blue one out the back

Drove nearly a thousand miles in the past week across Scotland and came across one RX8 which was a white 40th anniversary with the numberplate starting R22.

Blue on a 56 plate near the Galleries in Washington this morning.

Found this website which I guess many of you already know about:

https://www.carlogbook.co.uk/mazda/rx8/

and apparently there are only 5195 RX8s left in the UK with a valid MoT, and only 59 of these are like mine with the Nordic Green paint.

No wonder we don't see too many on the road....

[SmuttyHutty]

I suspect it just a data pull from here...

Trip from Dunfermline to Dundee and back today via the Tay bridge, 1 RX8 spotted as he flashed me first, just north of Glenrothes about midday. gave him a wave.

I saw a grey RX8 at Chester rugby club last Saturday morning

First one I have seen in months as my commute now involves walking from my kitchen to my home office

To me it is amazing to see so many RX8s SORNed. More than twice as many off the road as on the road.

I regularly see a 2007 black model around Bury St Edmunds but they are becoming a rare beast...

[Ainmhidh]

I think a number of the SORNed are due to the current global situation. It's certainly the reason mine was SORNed in April.

I wonder how many of those SORNed are weekend/summer cars?

Mine is a summer car and is currently on the road but I'm getting fewer chances to use it as it doesn't go out in the rain (I have zero rust and planning on keeping it that way!)
It will be SORNed at the end of October, probably until April/May next year

Saw a silver/grey 05 plate yesterday in the centre of Milton Keynes.

Passed a nemisis yesterday, was quite shocked tbh. You don't see many 8's over here anymore much less a nemisis

[nightfire10]

How many of you have seen an 8 approaching from the other direction, gone to flash/wave and then realised (just in time) that it's an MX-5?

In my defence, it was getting dark, and I'm sure there was an element of hope over expectation...

This happened to me today in broad day light... but the MX-5 flashed and blinked at me so ha jokes on him

Gray RX8 spotted on the Isle of Sky today, seen through a heavy rain shower, somewhere near Portree, I was heading off the island towards the bridge.

Just spied a mazdaspeed RX8 RC car in mythbusters. Being used to test what can be used to beat a radar speed gun!
