Saw a velocity red on king st sydney turning left into elizabeth st aroound 12.30 pm. Am still in a state of shock as the driver was ( I believe given the 15 metre range, my dark sunnies and the window tint ) a w - w - w - woman! Yes, its finally happened.

Of course I didnt wave or sound my horn as I was running and dont want anyone calling the cops .. hehe

similar thing happened a few weeks ago when 8A8Y 8 (philip) and i were going from city to brighton le sands....

anyway, getting out of the city and was waiting at the lights to turn right on the inside lane... minding my own business, and saw a silver 8 pulled up in the middle lane a few cars in front of us.

right turn light went green so we took off, when i was passing the silver 8, to my surprise it was a blonde female, i beeped and was going to ask her if she wants to join us for a drive....... she didnt hear the beep and was playing with her hair

.......................

saw a blue 8 this afternoon at a round about at one of the back streets of burwood. damn, blue is a nice looking colour!

Spotted 4 red 8's, a Ti grey and a yellow all in one day- at the Murcott's level 1 at Oran park on Friday! No members as far as I could tell.....
Made a nice little convoy as we left the course though.
I now have statistical evidence: the Yellow outbrakes the reds. ........But the reds are faster! :D

Kembla Grange sighting today

Greetings All,

Just after 4 pm today my wife and I were heading south at Kembla Grange Racecourse on the way back to her parents' place and we saw an RX-8 heading north - I gave them a wave too. I thought the car might have been Nordic Green - in the sunlight and the cloudy weather today it seemed to shimmer but my wife thought it was black - anyone here ?

Regards
Jeffneil

Somebody mentioned seeing a titanium in Chatswood, Sydney.
90% probability it was mine. I vaguely remember parking in a back street to pick up some friends. If it had a "Red Suns" sticker on it, it was deffinitely mine. I think I'm the only idiot in Australia who has a bloody Initial D sticker on her RX8.

I saw a brilliant black parked on Burwood Rd this morning. It had a red and black interior. 'Fess up, who's is it?

That was me. Hello.
You drive a brilliant black...
Seeing as you drive around the west alot, I think I've probably spotted you quite alot of times.

I'm yet to see a lightning... Saw the nordic a few days ago.

I eventually noticed a reply. It was on the way back from the track day I saw a red leather pack on the Monash freeway. We exchange nods and flashes me before heading to Pakenham. I really wanted him to know about this forum. He seems a nice fellow

Curious when you get home on Friday who is getting the most attention . Wife , Family , Work. or your RX8 .

Hahahahaha...
I'm a hetero chick, so no wife for me, mate. I live by myself, so no family either. Work? No, but I have to study. Being a law student doesn't have too many perks. Damn Uni... But it does leaves me alone with my sweet babies.

I just put a custom LED hood on my LanEvo... life is beautiful.

Is "Red Suns" in reference to the rotary brothers of Takahashis?
I love those Initial D animes, heheheh.

i got lost trying to find AAMI building and ended up in a maze of suburban homes..
i think he saw me and gave me a wave and I went past to realise that it was rx-8 and wave back =)
wonder it was a member of the forum.
