Picked up car this afternoon after waiting a week for V55. Hang in there Oilman it is definitely worth the wait. Managed to snap a few quick pictures before the sun went. Looking forward to a full days driving tomorrow.

Final pic

Thanks for posting the pics MAZ1986.

Great shots and an impecable choice of colour :)

I'll come and drool over them every now and again while I wait for mine to arrive (the car, not the pics!)

Well done mate and great pics, certainly some of the best I've seen of Titanium and believe me, I've seen loads!!

You must be eligible to join the Owners Club now!!

Cheers
Oilman

Nice pictures. I still think the back to any RX8 will look better with the sports exhaust larger bore and exhaust surrounds, emphasis its sportiness.

Wow...I can't wait for my Titanium after seeing these...really are great pics MAZ1986..

PS: Brushed or chrome..??

If there was a prize for best photos for 'new RX8 owners' then you would currently be in first place...can anyone better these...??

Nope. Agree. They are excellent.

Mind you, KEF's pics have to be in the running too though. They're mainly on pages 3 and 4 of this thread http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13679&perpage=15&pagenumber=3

cheers murphy, are you my personal fan club? ;)

just back from a blast to Largs, too much traffic on the main roads, but some of the twisties were great,


nice pics maz, like the RX53 plate, now I just need to find a home for my spare one (if I had the money I'd buy another '8 for alternate days)

Nah, not really mate but you do seem to know how to point a camera at the car - even if it was black ;)

Largs eh? Did you take the "back road" through Kilbirnie, etc - some nice twists and long straights!

MAZ1986, did the car come with that plate or did you buy it. Stroke of luck it came as standard.

Great pics - any chance of a close up of the strakes and crest (and letting us know whether they are brushed or polished?)

We seem to be developing a theme of photgraphing our new RX8's infront of old buildings - I'll have to get Kidwelly castle in my pics!

1st place I'm off to in my RX8 is an old elizabethen manor house for the weekend (wedding aniversary). So more pics there!

Will be film tho so will have to scan em. Have to get meh a digi camera soon of decent quality (have 2 crap ones).

Rob, I'm sure if you write a nice letter to Santa, he'll get you a nice digi camera. I asked for an RX8, but he's yet to deliver it.;)

Dave (MAZ1986),

This may be sad! But........ How did you get rotary logos for your wheel centres? I thought they were the Mazda logo?

AnilS - I've already had my chrissy pressy for this year - and nope, it wasnt the car :)

Have a good APS camera for snaps, so I'm in 2 minds on the digi front. May go for a decent digital SLR and see what I could do with that, or just get something 4mp ish, I need microdrive tho, no way am I fafing with 64mb mem cards all the time...

Stuartt - the rotary logo's are an option, but I cant seem to find them on the price list.

Thanks for the compliments on the pics. I was just lucky the sun was low and that titanium paint just reflects well. Judging by the look of the silver and red cars they are going to photograph well in different light as well.

Kef - I think pics of your car are great especially the one in mountain scenery. I saw black at dealer last weekend and it looked awesome. Basically I have seen car in all 4 launch colours and they all look great. Can't wait to see blue as well.

The strakes and rotary accent are brushed which I think look better than polished from what I have seen to date.

Wheel centres are an American accessory, I got mine from mazdatrix (4 days shipment from states great service). I also have valve caps but they will only go on for special occasions as I am sure they will get nicked.

£ price ended up approx same as $ price once I had paid for shipment and tax.

Anyway off to get some driving experience in tomorrow.

Dave

Also I had to buy numberplate, hence 7 day wait for V55. Car was PDIed and ready to go last Friday but I had to wait a week for documentation.

For historical buffs the photos were outside Lacock Abbey the home of photography.

Dave

As requested 2 pics of strakes one with flash and one without. Have been driving most of today and still can't believe what a good car this is. It beats my expectations. I will put some detailed comments up after I have used for a few more days.

Dave

Brushed strakes with flash.

Thanks for the photo's - brushed strakes for me then.

Yup, brushed for me too. They seem to match the finish on the wheels very nicely.

Thanks Dave!
