Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I was recently in South Africa for 4 weeks and saw only one. But it was whizzing along a motorway at high speed.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Thursday's trip was Northampton to Frimley in Surrey. Approx 180 miles.
RX8's spotted = 0
When I left Northampton in the diesel fiesta it was with a full tank. When I arrived in Frimley 2 hours later the needle hadn’t moved!

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Only saw one the whole week we were in the IoM.
At least it was in use, since I caught a picture in the car park in Peel before lunch and it was gone in the afternoon.
Had the worst rust around the boot brakelight that I've ever seen.
Doesn't help that you're never more than a few miles from the coast on a small island.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Today I went to Manchester near to the Trafford Centre & back (approx 300 miles).
Total RX8's spotted = 0
It seems that most of the M6 is covered in road works!!!

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Why would anyone choose to drive their 8 on the motorway, if there was any other option, especially the M6 with all the roadworks?
Apparently, none did

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Hi, I live in Northampton in the Spinney Hill area, how about you?
I've got a black RX8 57 plate but I guess you haven't seen me about as I only take the car out on the odd weekend.
I guess you don't see many about because of the running costs and engines breaking.
I put a post on last night titled 'RX8 CLASSIC CAR?' if you look after yours it may well be a lot in the future.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Seen the most RX8 ever this weekend in Leatherhead. Started with a black 55 plate in Wates carpark on Friday evening and a copper red one in council park park today (missed the plate). Must be coming out of their winter hibernation.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Drove up to Sunderland yesterday to view an R3, unfortunately on the way saw a black 55 plate pulled up on the side of the A1 with its bonnet open... Hope it wasn't a sign about the one I went to view...
