Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I wonder what engine it's running, given that plate, and if the owner knows there're outstanding recalls.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I see this regularly down the road from where I work in Southampton. Not sure if anyone on here might recognise it?

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Drove nearly a thousand miles in the past week across Scotland and came across one RX8 which was a white 40th anniversary with the numberplate starting R22.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Found this website which I guess many of you already know about:
https://www.carlogbook.co.uk/mazda/rx8/
and apparently there are only 5195 RX8s left in the UK with a valid MoT, and only 59 of these are like mine with the Nordic Green paint.
No wonder we don't see too many on the road....

Trip from Dunfermline to Dundee and back today via the Tay bridge, 1 RX8 spotted as he flashed me first, just north of Glenrothes about midday. gave him a wave.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
To me it is amazing to see so many RX8s SORNed. More than twice as many off the road as on the road.warpc0il wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 8:07 pmI suspect it just a data pull from here...

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I think a number of the SORNed are due to the current global situation. It's certainly the reason mine was SORNed in April.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I wonder how many of those SORNed are weekend/summer cars?
Mine is a summer car and is currently on the road but I'm getting fewer chances to use it as it doesn't go out in the rain (I have zero rust and planning on keeping it that way!)
It will be SORNed at the end of October, probably until April/May next year

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
How many of you have seen an 8 approaching from the other direction, gone to flash/wave and then realised (just in time) that it's an MX-5?
In my defence, it was getting dark, and I'm sure there was an element of hope over expectation...
