Did they complain about the location, or just the size?

Not a God damn thing as had to take euro box.
Mind you that is far easier in stop start traffic just no where near as much fun with a bit of clear road or away from a junction.....

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
Third day in a row of driving it to and from work as I've found a rather excellent bit of B-road that's normally deserted (and I needed to scrub the new tyres officer, honest). Only problem is I've got through nearly the full tank in less than 180 miles. 
Back to the Vectra for the rest of the month methinks...

And there's the slightly less rusty but awful(ly fantastic!)

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
Was reminded earlier in the week that I've got a trackday tomorrow so got the RX8 out of hibernation at my parents, looks like a rodent has made it's home in the engine bay 
Despite not being used for a long time (less than 350 miles this year ) I held foot to the floor the first time to build oil pressure then it fired up straight away.
The tyres are are below 2mm in tread so thought I would take the PZ wheels (with rainsports) from my daily as it's meant to rain all day at Brands Hatch
Should have been a quick and easy job but the locknut key broke so tried using another pair of Subaru wheels I have but they foul on the spacers so ended up taking off the spacers as well, the wheels look really odd as the ET is different to the OEM Mazda wheels so are really in board and look a bit silly.
Applied some anti corrosion to the coilovers and general wheel arches whilst the wheels were off, didn't need to use much as the coating applied last winter was still there doing it's job.
