Followed a yellow rx8 from Pine Rivers bridge to Murrumba Downes until he turned off on Dholes Rocks Rd.

Lives close to you Hymee. Needs to be Hymee enhanced

No..... I was not staring out the window, my pc backs on to the window and with the slow traffic they just kept catching my eye ... as the 8 always has.

Yellow had a chrome fuel cap.
Anyone here?
I thought that was me posting Except have been at that location for 2 years now. And I don't watch the traffic unless we here screeches at the Graham St / Park Road lights.

You in that vicinity, ZRX8???

Cheers,
Hymee.

PS - If you see a red one that sounds like it ought to, and it has a Hymee Enhanced sticker proudly, but subtley, displayed, then it is me.

It is dirty at the moment (so don't worry about looking), but next time I'll give it a blast though those lights...

Cheers,
Hymee.

3 x Silver

It was Silver RX-8 day today.

Saw 3 silver models on my way to work - in the space on 20 minutes....
1. New silver resident in my suburb parked outside a house in High Street, Ashgrove
2. Turned 2 corners onto Wardell Street and pulled out in front another Silver
3. Crossing Grey St Bridge to West End had another Silver (plates LAW111)

Didn't see any other colour today - just the 3 silvers.

For the record, spotted the following today:

3*silvers
1*red
1*winning blue
2*blacks

This thread is getting old, the RX8 is no longer a rare sighting.

I parked behind a blue auto at Olympic Park on Sunday, rego SHA --G. As it was the All Schools State Athletics Championships, guess they have a runner/jumper in their family too.

I had an idea, what r peoples thoughts of having a flyer to put on 8 owners cars....(dont know who will budget the printing off....) i'll design em (bit like flyers u see on your windscreen when u come out of a club, and they are advertising some dance party), but just leaving some details about the site (this site) so people can increase their presence....and spotting and fessing will be happening in full....

Bagged 4 tonight

Busy night on the way home from West End to Ashgrove.

Yellow with plates "XRX-88" (I think) near South Bank
Titanium in Paddington
Winning Blue parked outside Ithaca Tafe in Red Hill
Red going other way heading towards Ashgrove along Wardell Street

So that was 4 in 15 minutes - damn they must be getting popular.

I so want mine now

Mate, if my missus would let me, I would get myself a Elise 111R, but unfortunately she's got me by the proverbial, so I must be content with the 8.

Coz EZZY and yourself is living too far and I am looking for a good mate to share a cold 6 pack with under the sun and watching the reflections from our cars.

If the cricket is on, we can get the BBQ and TV out as well
