Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Saw an 11 plate Metropolitan Grey while out and about earlier, must have been one of the last few registered.
Edit: car was registered 06/05/2011. If I see it again may have to write a little 'if you ever think of selling' note to the owner.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Spotted a grey PZ parked outside a house in Bangor on Thursday evening.
Might swing by and leave a card on the screen, if it's still there next week.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Yesterday on the M25 clockwise at about 11am between J5 and J6 traffic was very slow, pulled up along side grey RX8 (06 plate I think), we both gave each other a thumbs up.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Since moving back to north-east Scotland in 2013, the following is my total RX-8 count (yes, I know, I should get out more.).
The two American examples are from my recent trip to walk the civil war battlefields of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
If opportune, I always try to initiate conversation with owners, who, for the most part have been friendly, knowledgeable
and dedicated enthusiasts; and who have addressed my numerous questions about their ownership with patience and good
grace.
A thank you to those owners:
2013: Banff: Red, A95.
2015: Banff: Red, A98.
2015: Banff: Grey PZ: Low Street.
2016: Banff: Grey Series1: A98.
2017: Banff: Stratos Blue: 2005 231 (My own car! Recently sold to a local gentleman.)
2017: Banff: A98: Silver R3 (same as me!), several cars ahead in a stream of traffic.
(Thankfully, I managed to resist my first impulse, to follow, and try and attract the attention of the owner)
2018: Buckie: Tesco car park: Black 231, 2005: Elderly gentleman: Local driving only, and had owned the
vehicle from new.
2018: Banff High Street: Grey Series 1 in moving traffic, young male driver. Managed a quick thumbs up, and
received a grin and wave in response.
2018: Aberdeen: Long Stay car park: Red, Series1: Immaculate.
2018: Washington DC: Parked near North Capitol Street, NW: Black, Series1, 231 with bodykit. Recognisably RX-8, but
decidedly sinister. (the dark, and the torrential rain may have inflected my impression.)
2018: Fredericksburg: Virginia: Spotsylvania Towne Mall, Sears Auto Centre: Silver, Series 1, 192. (in need of
TLC, had seen better days.)
2018: Local area: Residential street: Dark metallic grey Special Edition, 2008. Female owner, and a helpful
and dedicated enthusiast. Had purchased the car from a dealer in York, whilst there, visiting a relative.
Had an untroubled journey driving the vehicle back to Scotland. Immaculate.
The RX-8, like, the truth, is most definitely, out there.
Regards,
StormyBlue

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
See more of them now than ever.
Maybe because I own one now and notice them more.
Looking out the window today whilst at the gym and saw one in the car park.
I have to say it was the best looking car out there...oh it was mine..!
They really are a thing of beauty.
