Gave me a big thumbs up !!
It was kinda cool to be in a conga line with an identical eight .. my son in particular thought it was fantastic

Saw a Red one, Bridge street Albion this morning. Hello sco 
- You were looking down 
Then as I was leaving the hire place in Borrows St (took back the spot welder) I see another one shoot down Abbotsford Rd. Maybe sco got caught in tracffic. Then after getting out of the way of an ambo near the end of the ICB, I find myself cathing another red one outbound on Coro drive, just before I had to trun into Graham street for work. Too far away to see if it was sco's plates, but I guess it was. :wave:
Cheers,
Hymee.

I caught a glimpse of a red one thismorning, on Southpine road heading toward Strathpine about 9:00am. The only ones I have seen on the road so far have been red! Are there any other colours on the north side?

Spotted at least 6 rx8 s here on the gold coast , however they are not a very friendly bunch of wan kels , wouldnt even acknowledge my waves , but then again i realised that they were driving the AUTOMATIC VERSION , in my opinion that says it all .
If i offended anyone who drives an automatic rx4 halve the car the RX8 IS SO BE IT .

Jeffneil reporting in -

Yes it was me - heading north on the Pacific Hwy between Lisarow and Ourimbah about 11:15am I think it was.
Des said: "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"
No, this was on the Pacific Hwy heading south towards Lisarow - this is the yellow one I'm talking about here. Who was it ?
'I' was in the blue one !!!
I happen to know at least 1 person that has bought a manual and now wishes he had the auto - he is not a ****** and nor am I so enough about the auto 'jokes' - not remotely funny. Each to his or her own choice I say. Just like the colours....
Anyone else seen or heard of high prices for the demo cars ?

It'll be cool to catch up with the Brisbane Northside crew. See y'all soon.

Spotted (many times) a winning blue driving on Geelong Road travelling towards Melbourne between 8am and 9am. Has personalised plates but can't make them out, travelling too fast. Anyone else seen it ?

Having listened to our estimed moderator HYMEE i decided to be extra nice to my fellow rotary drivers well , i got snubbed twice by two rx7 , one in yellow , this smuck parked one car away from me , i gave him the big thums up and my best and friendliest smile and he bloody well snobbed me , it could not have been my B.O because i was sitting in my car , it was 6 am in the morning at the petrol station , then to add further insult i once again got snubbed by a second rx7 a dark silver one sheesh obviously not my day .
Hymee i have decided to go back to my old ways and not wave or give anyone the thumbs up unless they do it 1st , heck i dont mind being rejected by babes but by wankels in old rx7 , no way . and i am sorry but as far as i am concerned there should have never have produced an AUTOMATIC RX8 it stops the rx8 from getting street creed from fellow rx owners .
If you must drive an AUTOMATIC go buy a toyota camry or hyundia IMHO .
ID BE TO EMBARRASSED TOadmit to owning an AUTOMATIC RX8 .
Iexpect that the AUTORXFILES AMONGST YOU WILL BE UPSET AT READING MY POSTS regarding the autos but thats the way i see it , heck i would be seen dead in one.

Saw Hymee turning left onto the bridge over the railway line at Albion on Monday morning. I was too busy playing with controls on the dash to notice anything but the tail end of an RX-8 turning left in front of me.

You too understimate them...
Are you sure you did not just contracting your middle extensor digitorum when you wave to them?

Black 8 spotted at around 12:15 noon in North Sydney, comming of the bridge up pacific hwy turning right into Walker St. I was in my little blue mazda waving like a clown on a unicycle and got no responce at all - how rude - so if you're out there Mr Suited Up and driving a black RX8, next time at least raise your eyebrows - smarmy sod!
I recall the days I rode a bike, every other rider no matter where or when would do the old helmet nod or right hand royal wave.
I fear that the RX8 owner numbers are now filling up with dweebs and there's far too few of us out there now ( well, I guess we were early adopters right ) who really dig the car and others who do likewise - now it's just a comodity car - mores the pitty IMHO!
Next thing you know everyone will wake up from their Microsoft brainwashing and go buy the world's best computer in the form of the Apple PowerBook G4 15 or 19 inch! There's a scary thought!
