View Full Version : where in the UK .........
cw007 06-13-2003, 05:30 AM Another thread for you to releeve the boredum
Where in the UK are we likely to see most of these rx8's when they finally get on the road?
I notice quite a few of us are from Hertfordshire.
Would love to take this round the highlands of Scotland - the land of my birth....
c170673 06-13-2003, 05:33 AM I am in Taunton, Somerset although I do nip down to Cornwall occasionaly (so I may see Oilman down there)
Mine and the Wife's folks live up in Yorkshire and Derbyshire respectively so I may very well have to fine a more challenging route than the M5/M42/M1.

Kent, around M25/ A20 junction. Will use it every day from home to work across that inter-change.
rael.
15th from main dealer in stirling.
plan on a relaxed cruise up to skye for running in purposes.
A82, one of the greatest roads in the country
renegade_si 06-13-2003, 04:34 PM Me? Well I will use it from Bagshot to Sloguh every day, drive pasy Windsor Castle (well nearly) through Windsor Great park.
Then will drive M40, A46 about 3 times a month, through Coventry and up the M69

As it says, I'm in Leeds - but the RX will probably be visiting the open countryside and yorkshire for a few days to run in.
It's gonna be tough driving at under 6000 rpm for a week.......

AndyPearce 06-13-2003, 04:53 PM You'll see me blasting from Jct 48 to Jct 33 of the M4 (and back) every week day.
bugbear 06-13-2003, 04:58 PM oh dear - right now i catch the train to work (surrey to london) - currently doing about 100 miles a month - maybe sometime before the car's run in!
renegade_si 06-13-2003, 07:18 PM What bugbear? All that depreciation (see other thread) and you're going on the train :))
so not only are u paying for the train pass but £500+ a month in depreciation too!
Titanium Grey 06-14-2003, 08:40 AM Planning to take thew car over to Spain for a week or so as part of the run in.
After driving around here for a week or two to check there are no initial problems.
tinck 06-15-2003, 04:19 PM Stafford to Birmingham daily commute, so parked up for most of the time on the M6!!
Also get upto Manchester and Derby or Leeds so M6 A50 , M1.
Want to do the same as titanium and take it abroad for a week or so to run it in and get used to the car.

cw007 06-16-2003, 05:13 AM Speaking to one the guy's at motorexpo he said the STIG has had his mits on the RX8 already.
Wasnt giving anything away however....
Would be nice to see what they have to say about it.
c170673 06-16-2003, 05:23 AM I am off to Top Gear on Wednesday as a guest of my friend that works on the programme, I will see if I can find anything out.

no, no, no
i'm afraid that scottish roads have become far to busy, i think you should all stay at home.
yes, scottish roads now officially closed to tourists (except the M8, you guys are welcome to that)
