Testdrive and Pictures and Clips

Hi all,

I`m proud to tell you that I was 1 of approx. 40 Austrian Preordercustomers who were invited by Mazda Austria to learn about and Testdrive the RX8 for a whole day. :D

There were about 30 RX8 preproduktion cars for testing.

We had lots of breefings about technical stuff like Rotaryengiene, Performance, Styling and Safty and of course we drove the RX8 three times.

Two times on a testcourse to see, feel the difference with DSC and without and finaly on the publicroad (Town, Highway)

We drove like in Formula 1. In front of us the pacecar and then the mainfield with 7 cars :D
But where not alowed to pass each other or the pacecar.

Its a new feeling of driving cause I never had a Rotary powered or such a highpowered car.

So much for now.
Here are some pics.


PS.: I made some short Quicktime clips. Were can I upload theme?

Greetings from Austria
Oliver

Good pics - what did you think of the drive, and did you listen to the Bose hi-fi?

Very nice pictures Stakato. Pitcure (Next) 5, means I'm definately going for the Side Stakes on the vent, and maybe the Alu Filler cap. I notice in one of the pics that Tit Grey with Red/Black leather ?

Great pics Stakato.

Aaarrgh!!! - I wasn't going to spend on the (overpriced) extras but those strakes are a must have IMO.
