Less than a minute after pulling in to the drive in mine, I heard the distinctive note of a rotary, looked to the road and sure enough one was driving past, Galaxy Grey.
That's my total seen since owning one up to 2.

Went all the way to Antigua via Gatwick and home again and saw 1 Black RX8 'ST57..' about 30 seconds before I pulled up on my driveway back at home. None in Antigua but the roads really weren't suitable - some were more pothole than surface though they did have the graders and rollers out on some bits so they're getting better, 'til the next hurricane hits.
I was in Antigua in February and saw one! Seriously!
