Went to a new housing development on Saturday and I was parked up in my black rx8 and a little while after a silver one came driving through from deep inside this development. I got really excited as that was the first one I have seen since I got mine. We left about half an hour later and a few traffic lights down the road was either the same one or another silver one opposite me. I wanted to go make friends but thought it might be a little strange.

Saw a winning blue 07 plate parked near to Ravensbourne station over the weekend, spotted it about 100 meters away when walking to the station, looked very clean.

Coincidence, they were all Lighting Yellow....

Saw a black RX8 55 plate yesterday evening as I left the office in Upper Grosvenor Road in Tunbridge Wells at 5pm, so this means there could be up to 3 in the Tunbridge Wells area.

Spotted a Silver/Grey 8 driving through Bangor yesterday. Nice set of aftermarket wheels, though the tyres looked suspiciously "shiny"...
