ha!
actually.. I was killing time reading more of the historical posts before I jumped in the car and went for a fang..
Iv'e been trying to find another driver for company, but it seems everyone's in for the night, working 36 hour days [ Kev ] etc so it looks like it's just me and Timo Mass ( thanks to Fat Boy Slim ).
Yea.. I was bored.. but I figured bit shifting was a little to "out there" for the general population - my mistake ;-P

Rob,
that fast drive home must have forced too much blood to the back of your brain * grin * - Titanium is a nice color, I'll grant you that.. but.. mazda already made it clear which color won the war..
Winning Blue !!
The name says it all..

Dez ...
We all know that the RX8 colour names in some way relate to the project team members in the Mazda shop - a traditional tribute given to the development team at Japanese factories.
This tradition has given us such sesational names as PAJERO !
Sadly the mazda company's mother tongue is not english ... however they are fortunate that their spelling error is in fact a legitimate word ...
The blue colour was nominated in honour of Hiroshi who was in the design team from day 1. Hiroshi was in charge of the interior and the team awarded him a colour name due to the sensational outcome. Ironic fate however meant that Hiroshi never got to sit in the interior of the car as he is a large gentleman, in fact he was a former SUMO. What this meant however was that Hiroshi was always complaining about things ..
the word they were is fact trying to correctly spell is WHINING BLUE in tribute to Hiroshi's daily complaining ...
Maybe next time I'll explain how the development teams only female engineer, was awarded the titanium colour!

LOL,
So the original factory nipple port sunroof for the titanium car never made it out of japan ... along with it being the only colour to be shipped with a pre installed bra ...

Mazda Artarmon has advertised a yellow demo. 8 in the SMH for the last 2 week-ends, at a very reasonable $61k (from memory.)
Methinks in any other colour it would have been snapped up at that price, unless it is not a leather pack

Gee Timbo. As a matter of fact I was toying around with the idea of cornering the market on yellow cars.
Anyway read this it will put a smile on your face.

Red.... Yellow... they're both good colours, so why argue.... 
Of course yellow does suit some models just that LITTLE bit better. :p
We're thinking of breeding from them, so put your hand up if you're interested in an orange pup....

L&L: broken link !?
BVD: we've also considered breeding our 323 and 8, but I figured a green 323 with a blue 8 might end up with a color even god would have to throw back!
