Hi to you all,
On Monday I placed an order for a high power Titanium RX8 with leather (delivery Feb). I have been following this car in various magazines from last November; test drove an RX8 in September at Mazda Bookham and signed on the dotted line. Unlike most members of this forum, this is a company car - and no, it is not a good option from an economic point of view (in spite of what Mazda say). This is the first time in my life I have been tempted by a car from the heart as opposed to the mind. The other reason is that my 4 and 7 year olds are out of car seats and I feel this is an ideal window of opportunity before their legs grow too long...
I am so excited about the thought of this car, the Japanese advert (boy and car) sums up how I feel...
I have actually been following this forum from a spectator point of view for 6 months now, but never really wanted to join in without a car 'on order' - bit too much like coming to a wife swapping party without the wife...
Cheers, Pillman
