Drove to Barry and back after work, didn’t see any RX8s, plenty of MX5s and a Ford GT (2000s model), total of 240+ miles

Wasnt really aware till I was standing next to a parked one, just how much smaller the original mx5 is than an Rx8.

Did you know the later mark 3 ( same year ) is the same front and rear subframe as the 8 ?

I see a few local to me in Wrexham. Garage by my house has two for sale currently, and there is fast and furious themed one for sale in a local pub car park.

Recently I travelled from Wrexham to Prestigne onto Birmingham and back to Wrexham and didn't see another on the road.

Travelled from brora to Chester and back this week didn't see one rx8 or 350z at all, I found that quite nice in a strange sort of a way.
Maybe we're different

Today I went from Northampton to Glasshoughton in West Yorkshire, a round trip of 264 miles.

Total RX8s spotted = 0

i have an MGF which is really similar in size to the original mx5 . they are tiny cars. they are only 2 seaters though and extremely low to the ground. if you think they look small next to a rx8 its feels even smaller when pulling up to traffic lights next to new suvs. mx5s are cool, i like the pop up headlights on the old ones... but i do like my little mgf though.

Parked my 8 next to a 67 plate Mini (clubman?) earlier - couldn't believe how it dwarfed my little baby!

Saw an original 270Z at Castle Combe today and was surprised it was so small!

Post by **bigpete8** » Sat Apr 07, 2018 7:04 pm

I saw lots today but all where in various stages of being dismantled

On the plus side found someone who breaks rx8s very close to me.

i was almost at castle combe today, but the ticket i was getting never materialized. i was gutted... so i've spent the day working instead. sounded like a good day out. will try get to another one of their events soon.

Drove a Toyota Auris to Winchester and back last weekend and had an RX8 pull up next to me at the lights, was so dissapointed as it's never happened to me before when I'm driving the RX8.

Humane-Hobgoblin · Post by **Humane-Hobgoblin** » Sun Apr 08, 2018 6:40 pm

Drove to the Devon and Cornwall meet today, 260ish miles (on one tank, I must say), and other than the 8s at the meet, I saw none.
