Mowing the grass verge out the front this morning, only takes 15 minutes, a saw TWO RX8s!
The first (a silver) came from behind and passed without warning.
The second (blue) I saw coming the other way and couldn't resist giving a thumbs-up, getting a smile and flash in response.
So, if you were driving up or down the A2 (NI) today and saw someone dressed like a tramp riding a mower that looks like it's escaped from the set of Mad Max, then it was me

I'll currently on holiday in Pembrokeshire, we drove down on Friday and since we arrived I have seen three RX8s, a black one parked at the car park at the north end of the Cleddau bridge, a blue one driving near Freshwater West beach and another black one driving near Pembroke.

Funny this thread should pop up,i was heading home after work last night and I was stopped at a set of lights when an 8 started flashing his lights behind me,almost couldn't believe it because I never see an 8 here in Cork.Anyways we had a bit of fun on the way home
I know the R3 is only about 5 horses better off over the S1 ( stock ) but he kept right up with me,at one point we were side by side laughing at each other
Don't worry I wasn't over the speed limit..........much
Have to say it made my day,it was a lovely evolve too and decatted to death,the thing was like a pop corn machine
R3 GONE, FUN WHILE I HAD HER BUT NOW LOVING MY 25TH ANNIVERSARY MX5

Was very surprised to see 2 here in Amoudara (Crete) yesterday - a standard looking S1, and an R3 with big exhausts and wing.
