Request for a Red RX-8 for Practical Classics Cover Shoot - 27th July Near Peterborough!
Hi Guys,
The editor of Practical Classics Magazine is in need of a willing volunteer who owns a cosmetically stock RX-8 in red - said any red is fine, so can be either VR or Copper Red (or a custom red I presume).
Shoot is at Peterborough Show Ground on the 27th of July and fuel expenses of up to Β£50 will be covered. We've been advised it's in the afternoon, but no confirmation of times as yet. In return you would get your car on the cover of Practical Classics and also get some sexy pro photos for your social media gubbins
Drop your name below and I'll work it on a first-come-first-served basis
Cheers Guys!

When I saw your name pop up I wondered how you were going to convince me that yours was 'stock'

Still is..... If you squint really hard and already have limited vision could never tell the difference, eh? Nobody would notice the change on the front of a magazine would they?
Honestly, I love that idea even if it's to buy a couple copies just because it's on the cover.... Mint!

To entice people in, I've participated in a couple and they were great fun. Firstly, seeing your car in a mag is fun, but secondly you get some LOVELY pictures

If there was more time to plan everything etc and my car didn't look an absolute state I would be willing. But too short notice etc.

I know of a couple who aren't yet members of the club, and I know of a couple that are, but wanted to put it up here to be fair. Given the time constraints if I haven't heard from an eligible participant by Wednesday then I'll reach out to people I know aren't a million miles away and fit the bill.

There must someone out there with a VR RX8 maybe you should call Ben at RR as he probably knows of the whereabouts of a standard one.
