Now back to one, a white R3. Gone but not forgotten: 04 Tit Grey 231, 06 Copper Red Evolve (231), 09 VR R3, 10 Aurora Blue R3, 06 Black PZ; RX87 13BREW project car ;-( ; 04 White with Greddy turbo conversion ;-(

Buying a used RX8 turbo is like marrying a stripper.

Oh god, here we go again...

Also, on the subject, the RX-8 was featured in BBC's Sherlock - 100% nobody has noticed that before...

Girlfriend mentioned this to me yesterday and it made me oddly happy. Firstly that she actually recognised the car, and secondly that it was even in there at all. :)

:-k that's a real 8, it's just an S1 with the LED tails conversion that look a bit mucky :thumleft: only slightly different to the R3 lights since they're shorter in height and the circles are smaller :D

Unless you were making the joke of the original S1 lights are better, and in that case, it's a bit of a whooooosh on my part #-o :lol:

But I did, and 1 in 67 ish million leaves 99.9999985%, which is lower than your figure, so there.

FWIW, I look at 4 newspaper internet sites every day, primarily looking for articles that support my outlook/prejudices, the 4th being The Sun as I can’t break the habit of looking at it every day for Page 3 (now gone, but one can hope, even if Sam Fox turned out to avoid sexual encounters with men) and Deirdre’s problem page.
