There are loads in my area. I drove past two today. it seems to be a car of choice. I’m surprised how many I see around here. When I get on the motorways though and I barely see any.

I drove past the new shape mx5 on my journey. I quite liked them. Thought it was quite stylish.

Another long trip 600 miles all the way up to Yorkshire and back to see family. Saw 2 rx8’s this time ...

But I was in my MGZS. So no point waving or flashing as they just think I’m daft.
So I now conclude spotting another rx 8 isn’t about the distance I drive, its the car I’m in! :lol: :thumright: 8)

Isn't it always the way.

Unless it's for a preplanned meet, I can pretty much guarantee that the only 8 I will see, when I'm out in mine, is the reflection in shop windows.
However, I will often see a passing 8, or even follow one in traffic, when driving other cars.

Know how you feel, mine has been on loan to a friend for over a month, I was hoping to get it back Sunday but weather looks like it will be putting a stop to that :(
