Saw 4 today around Maidenhead - Nordic Green, Velocity Red and Phantom Blue S1s and a Grey R3.

The Evolve was parked on a kerb just round the corner from me with hazards on, hope it was just because the owner was popping in to a house ......

The last RX-8 I saw in these neck of the woods (Banff, Aberdeenshire) was almost a year ago.
It was a beauty, a red 231 entering the outskirts of Banff from the direction of Portsoy.
I waited at the exit of the petrol filling station (my customary location) until it passed (!).
Whether it is not the done thing for a Velocity Red Mica to acknowledge a Stratos Blue Mica,
who knows, but my wave went unseen.
So close, but so far.
