Some of the A roads west of Hereford are amazing up and down and twisty and smooth. Great RX8 country.

Drive to Haynes Motor Museum (2 hour round trip), only spotted one other 8, which is the same 8 I see at the gym.

On another note, done 90ish miles on quarter of a tank!

Which quarter of the tank?

The top "quarter" gets you a lot further than the last, as the complex shape of the tank means that the gauge isn't exactly linear.

Dammit, it was the top quarter

95 miles going to and from work normally drains a damn sight more than what I’ve done today

I don't find that to be the case! Although I can't even get 100 kilometres out of any quarter of my fuel tank!!

Back to the topic at hand, saw 0 RX8s today, or this week so far. I see way more Nissan Leafs than I do rotaries.

Today’s trip on was to SW18 from Northampton. Approx 170 miles round trip.

Paul honestly man I haven't seen an 8 in what must be over a year ( apart from your one

) it's a real sign of the times ( in Ireland anyways ) that only a few short years ago I used to see 8's and even 7's maybe 6 or 7 times a year in Cork,nowadays you just don't see them....ever!!
