Slightly different, but releated subject...
How many of us have had this sort of thing happen:
Was driving along the ICB this morning, when this Stigma came flying up behind me like a bat out of hell. Swapped into the lane next to me and settled down in my rear 3/4. Had a look for a while then pulled alongside me, gave the thumbs up and a wave, then went on his merry way.
Cheers,
Hymee.
Pity it was a bloke!

Happens all the bloody time.
Best one was two rapidly approaching motor bikes in my rear view mirror. One either side of me in a three laner. Stayed there for a good 10 seconds, gave me a big grin, thumbs up, and both did a huge mono and took off like a bat out of hell

Yes, common. Usually young blokes. I've notice ladies looking too, but they're more subtle with it - and I'm typically looking their way in the first place

Local motorcycle cop , in surfers doing routine breatholisers stopped me for breatholizer , having admitted that he didnt think id be foolish enought to drink and drive in such a beuatifull car he got me in a conversation about the car , i also complimented him on his fine motorcycle .
Told him if he was interested we could do a swap me in his police uniform on his bike for halve an hour and he intern could drive my RX8, i gave him my mobile number for contact , and showed him my drivers and motorcycle licencee .
Hopefully he will make contact ,soon always wanted to wear police uniform and get on one of those police hondas , it would be great fun intimidating other motorists. ha ha ha .

Bless me father, for I have sinned ...
My RX8 hasn't moved for four days - the guilt inside me is swelling up and it feels like it's going to consume me

The "Blue Oyster" is the gay bar in the Police Academy movies
Right up to speed as usual timbo!
L&L, I even found myself leaning towards a red striped tie yesterday ... I've never heard of "red fever" - but I've got it

L&L: you have issues.. I like that.. but hey, you have issues!
Kev: you watch far too many low budget movies!
aussie8: yay! it's now your responcibility to clock 200km or more per day for the first week!
Kev: say zero hail mary's, drive 200km, and clock up 8,500 rpm's on multiple counts, and yea shall find the truth!
timbo: don't make it a hard hat the color of your car!
me: Ive got.. got to get a life!
I spent the past 24 hours moulding a 2RU rack mount dual Xeon with a ship load of RAM, and 2TB of RAID disk like it was clay and managed to consolodate the front end o fhttp://WebSearch.COM.AU from three independant engines to a single black box..
What the f*ck does that have to do with an RX8?
Easy, now I'm bursting to drive drive drive and the gas is on http://WebSearch.COM.AU's advertising account * grin *
The ultimate dream, a pet project that pay's the Shell Optimax bill.. ah.. we are indeed the lucky country..

Not me! Haven't escaped the northern beaches save for a wet run round the harbour Monday night (taxi).
I tend to try and work from home when the weather is bad.
I'm trying to figure out who the new yellow 8 is in Collaroy. The dealer manager at Brookvale has gone from his yellow demonstrator to black, so I'm pretty certain someone picked up the demo 8 recently.
(I'll get the wife's intelligence network onto it - school kid mums are the best source of intel.)

I went to the Murcott course today.
2 Red ones (one a Hymee mobile). 1 yellow one. 2 Grey ones - to my eye they looked different shades, but definately not the difference between Titanium and Silver.
None of them had heard of the forum, or if they had, thought it was a US thing. Hopefully some will get on board.
Here is a picture of the Yellow one.
(oops teaser - I'll post tomorrow, camera in car and I'm ready for z's)
I believe it was Lock&Load, cranky about the un-available oil or something.
Cheers,
Hymee.

Back to RX-8 spotting -
On Wednesday morning my wife saw a Titanium Grey on our street just off the F3 on the Central Coast - TonyM from Kariong - was that you ?
Then today I was at the Central Coast Motor Show in Gosford where I saw the star car of the Mazda stand was a Velocity Red with a spoiler and it was being sold as a demo for a whopping $69,498 - for a DEMO !! I had heard that Mazda are selling off the demo models but didn't expect such a premium price - amazing !
Then on the way home a Yellow one went south on the Pacific Hwy at Ourimbah and I was in our Winning Blue example so perhaps they were as surprised as I was to see another one on the road.

jeffneil,
My wife said she saw a blue one in Ourimbah on Saturday (around 11am)...possibly yours!
Unfortunately she wasn't in ours... I needed to take my bike up (I was cycling)... haven't used the RX8 for bike transport yet!

Was that Ourimbah on the pacific hwy or Ourimbah on the F3?
If it was the F3, it was me - I was doing my best to get from Newcastle to Sydney in under an hour and not die - fegging trucks full of big iron [ 'putas ] arrived early at the Data Center and I had to let the beggars in.. hate that!
My plates start with APF??? if you're watching.
++dez;
ps: had to edit my plate from AFP??? to APF??? - apparently I'm becoming dislexic in my old age.. I blame it on the recent excessive solar flar activity [ bring it on BOFH! ]
