Sold on Tuesday!

Post by bunch1980 »

After 6 years of ownership sold my RX8 to big Pete, not been on here much last few years but still been enjoying the car. Passed MOT this year but the dreaded rust was looking bad so time to go and not using even less now with working from home as before it was more pleasure thing to.
Sure will miss it nothing like it out there and will maybe never get a second car with how things are going! :o
When I first saw when came out I was amazed and at the time could not even drive, it was nice to be able to own one and experience it. Most common question oh that's got the weird engine, has it blown up yet! ironically its rust first for me ha, bought off Carl Hayward to with the idea it may need a re-build soon, and its lasted and started every time well, I had not done many miles so that helped!

Thank you all to helped over the years with problems on here, I hope Mazda can release some thing similar in the future! :D

Damn. That pic brings back memories of Pete taking away my old TG 8, was a sad moment.

But I do have an AB R3 to help with that. :D

I saw it at Pete's the other day. Didn't look close but I hope he can bring it back to life rather than send it to RX heaven. There are too many being scrapped.
