I may be wrong but I can't think of another car with these rear lights....

Re: Guess the car....
Article is new. It's the inflation numbers from today, but it's possible the picture has been re-used. I seem to recall a similar picture used in 2009 when we had a nice little petrol price drop ( and a full fuel tank of V-power for my rex was around 50 quid ). In fact I think it's been re-used a few times over the years but I can't be sure.
One has to wonder if there is a correlation between people (foolishly) thinking the RX8 drinks petrol and it being associated with petrol prices in the news.... I mean surely they can find a newer picture of a car filling up than an S1 RX8 ?

Re: Guess the car....
yeah, but stock photo of someone filling a car. They probably bought the right to reuse it in perpetuity 10 or more years ago and it still works and doesn't cost them anything now. A new use-on-the-internet photo would be a few quid. It's really only the likes of us here that will even notice / care at this point.

Re: Guess the car....
True. Hadn't thought about that. You almost definitely need to have owned one or taken a massive interest in RX8's to guess it off the rear light in a picture.Ainmhidh wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 11:33 amyeah, but stock photo of someone filling a car.

Re: Guess the car....
Isn't the petrol pump where RX8's like to hang out?
Mine certainly takes me there very frequently....

Re: Guess the car....
First one is from Oct 2013. I thought the pic was older but I guess 5 years is still pretty far back....warpc0il wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 5:54 pmNot just the BBC, 973 hits from TinEye
