Re: Do you see many RX8's?
White 40th parked next to me at the supermarket yesterday. Of course, by "parked next to", they did keep the obligatory 1 space gap between vehicles. We're not uncivilised, you know...

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
The etiquette is a bit like walking into the gents, you should always leave at least one empty urinal in between, unless it's too crowded

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I always park in the space right next to cars I care about - minimise their chance of getting a ding by 50% because I'm not a total knob.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I'm easily confused at the best of times and it doesn't help that NI have their own sequence for road numbering, rather than fitting-in with the rest of the UK.
So there's an M1*, and an M2, M3, M5 & M22
The A2 runs passed our front gate, whereas I always thought it went from London to Dover

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Yesterday’s trip was to SW18 from Northampton. Approx 170 miles round trip.
Total RX8's spotted = 1 (Evolve)
Yesterday it took 3 hours to get there. 85 miles (28mph average). 2 weeks ago it took 3.5 hours to get to Newcastle 226 miles (64.5 mph average). Don’t you love driving South!?

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Saw a black R3 in Highwoods while working on CheekyWankel's 192 heading towards the car dealerships. Possibly was New Duke? Might've been someone else though as it was too far away to see the number plate
