That's the problem being dyslexic, as I read that as "I saw a blue light one on the M60 this morning..."

and visualised this

I have stated to notice a A Red rx8 passes me in the opposite direction daily when I’m on my way to work. So must be local to my unit.
Also spotted a few in my local area parked up. So I see quite a few rx8 around at the moment.

Airport run today and got photo'd by a group of "car spotters" on a traffic island on the way into Belfast, big grins and waves :D

I saw two 8's on the opposite carriageway of the M2 passing through Antrim - a Grey and a Blue - a couple of miles apart, so I assume that they weren't travelling together.

Then an even more enthusiastic reception from the car spotters on the return trip. :D
One of the benefits of driving a Lightning Yellow 8)

I have to do another airport run early tomorrow morning, but this time in a Fiesta (don't ask), what's the bets I have a closer encounter with another 8 and have to "not wave" #-o

Just spotted one in Woodley, Reading while I was at the pub, it was a red S1 and had a loud exhaust. First I've seen right next to my house for a while!

Also saw a black S1 on a flat bed on the M4 near the Severn bridge on the 10th.

People keep going on about these "spotted" RX8s.

Mine's got stripes, does that count?
