I think it was me on both occassions Choppy.
I was around both areas around that time doing "happy laps" (cruising).
Didn't see any other 8's all night though.
What colour's yours?

Wow... I think it would be a nice idea to have 3-4 RX-8 lined up as a bridal party train... if it is all silver or all black (unfortunately) we don't have white... then it will be good. Too bad I am already married :D

Speaking of weddings...

On Saturday night my wife and I were on our way to my friends wedding. We were running a bit late so I was driving the 8 with great vigor. My wife decides to touch up her makeup and lip stick while I was ripping through the gears... bad mistake...he he he

Choppy,

Guess it wasn't me you saw on Oxford St then although I was in the area around the same time.

My number plate is completely different to what you saw.
I won't disclose what it is, but trust me, you'll know it's me if you see me again.

Drove next to a Sexy Black RX-8 yesterday with a female driver. "SXYRX8" Don't spose it was anyone here? Hello?

As I turned into Mazda to get my PCM calibration ID checked, she turned into the big Holden / Mitsu / Suby dealership across the road.

Give it a clean, baby!

Then this morning, I saw a Red Manual Leather pack being backed off a tilt tray at the dealers. Wasn't making any power, so being checked out. Wish I had time to stay and see the WDS plugged in for the diagnosis.

I don't know it is anyone one here, but a little birdie told me that when the owner took delivery, he left two big long licorice strips out of the driveway and "all the way down the road" when he left...

"I haven't been abusing it, Mr. Warranty claim man, honest!"

Cheers,
Hymee.

Apart from my missus driving my one, the only other female I've seen driving a 8 was an old bird in a Ti one a few weeks back.

She was sitting so close to the steering that if the airbag were to inflate, she would probably suffer a heart attack from the bag striking her on the chest.

Women comment about the sexiness of the car, but could it be that it's too sexy for them to own one?
