Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I did an airport run on Tuesday, and the MOT test trip yesterday, both in the RX-8 and not another 8 to be seen.
Took a 5 minute run in the daily this morning, just down to the village, and spotted a VR on the way down and a Tit Grey drove off just as I was parking.
I'm getting more convinced that my Quantum Theory is correct

White turning off the A4074 yesterday. May have been an R3 but I was a few cars back.
Blue (I think) northbound A34 Winchester today

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
By pure chance, ended up driving several km on the highway together with two other random 8s today. We must have looked like a small convoy.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Passed a tidy looking red one whilst in the r3 yesterday in Bramall, despite barely moving I don't think he saw me but was instead looking right through me at the market beyond.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I swear that whenever I'm on the A33 I see a grey rx8. Saw another one on the A33 again earlier today
Re: Do you see many RX8's?
That might have been me mate, I have a red rx8, based in edgeley, often driving through there

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
If I see you again I'll be sure to wave. I often see a blue (stormy?) one around there as well but rarely while I'm in mine.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Yesterday’s trip was Northampton to Frimley in Surrey. Approx 180 miles.
RX8's spotted = 0
If I was counting Porsche’s I would have lost count.

Did a double take today in Salisbury as I thought someone had nicked my car. (Potato photo as I was leant out of my car window while stopped in the car park)

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
On the Allsorts drive to Aberystwyth I saw 6 RX8 plus one local VR one and of course mine so that’s 8 in one drive out!!

warpc0il wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 9:47 pmHowever, I'm beginning to think that it's all to do with Quantum Physics, where no more than one spinning object can occupy the same energy state (aka section of road) at any one time.
This would make it highly unlikely that I'd see another 8 while driving mine, and much more likely when driving anything else.
There are some exceptions to the rule:
- when one or more objects aren't spinning, e.g. parked
- when the "pre-arrangement factor" is applied
- when approaching/leaving known hotspots

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
There is also another factor at play.
It’s called “associated middle aged beauty blindness”
I’ll give you an example of how it works
I saw a car pulling out of a junction that was being driven by a very attractive lady, I haven’t got a clue what car she was driving as my brain only had capacity for the one image and thought.
It is therefore possible that there are many more RX8’s around but unfortunately they are cloaked by the aforementioned affliction.
Could just be me though
