Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I spotted a silver RX8 on the M3 on Saturday (heading north, near Basingstoke), but I don't notice as many as I did, maybe just because I don't have one any more, but I suspect there are just less around these days.
I did spot this one a few weeks ago:
It was in the car park of my hotel in Daytona Beach, Florida, so probably not anyone's here!
I was driving the bad boy in black behind it that week!

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Saw a black RX-8 R3 on the M1 south bound in the middle lane and also saw a E92 M3 pulling up from behind on the right lane. It slowed down momentarily, parallel to the RX-8 and they both appeared to 'floor' it. Needless to say the M3 demolished the RX-8 and sped ahead.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I’ve seen three in one day today!
No1 I was hoping to buy but turned out to be massive bag of rusty spanner’s in Essex. It seemed promising before I looked at it, ultra low miles but mostly broken and neglected in every other respect.
No2 A grey 05 plate heading up the A14 from Cambridge, hardly ever see one driving.
No3 Someone just round the corner from has got a velocity red one.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Nightfire (Steve) and I have seen that around Parkstone, he’s not a member and I don’t think he really has an idea about Rotaries, but don’t quote me on that. He did wave occasionally though.ChrisHolmes wrote:That will be the car it has an aero kit on it and I think an Impreza big rear spoiler.warpc0il wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 6:09 pmRX08 MAX?

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I saw a Red 06 whilst we were both waiting opposite sides of the lights by the church in Beckenham high street this afternoon, pulled away pretty briskly.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Went all the way to Antigua via Gatwick and home again and saw 1 Black RX8 'ST57..' about 30 seconds before I pulled up on my driveway back at home. None in Antigua but the roads really weren't suitable - some were more pothole than surface though they did have the graders and rollers out on some bits so they're getting better, 'til the next hurricane hits.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
It's when I'm driving a non-RX8 that I tend to see more on the road, and then I have to resist the urge to wave/flash...

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Totally agree, but that's probably because my drive in the 8 is normally the same time and same couple of routes.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Got stuck in traffic with a shiny copper red 04 plate on the M1 heading south with a lady driving.
Looks like the winning Red RX8 in my village might have moved on just as I've got mine.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Mowing the grass out the front this afternoon and was passed by three RX8's a VR, a WB and a White 40th Anniversary.
There were also a massive number of MX5s etc with their tops down and more bikes than I've seen in years.
The sun was shining and it's the first weekend after 1st April, so I assume a hell of a lot of vehicles have just come off winter SORN
