hi all!

finally decided to get a rx8 over the s2000 and accord euro

very happy with the purchase, big thanks to paul(nojooc) for the great service

only bad thing is i have to take it easy until ive run her in....which shouldnt be too long ;)

hope i can learn more about the car from everyone....a bit of a newbie when it comes owning a rotary(my 1st)

cheers

Strato Blue??? Right?

Welcome to the family. Ask any question. Unlike some people, I will not tell you to use the search button first. :cool:

Welcome Bli55d -- another silly grinner ;)

Yep, you can learn lots of interesting stuff here -- 'search' sometimes helps -- but if you tell us you have searched and can't find what you're after, PM Gomez -- he's our corporate memory (and conscience). In fact, I don't think of him as just Gomez ....more Googlemez :D :D

Hey, and while you have to be a bit bit calm in the first thou, that doesn't mean you shouldn't vary your driving style and habits quite a bit. Loosen 'er up before Easter :)

Very nice. You'll really enjoy it.

Welcome, first time i've seen that colour.

Nice colour! Welcome to the party!

Was going to say welcome to the "revolution", but it sounded crap!

Stratos blue leather pack... bewdiful... Welcome.

the colour is growing on me :D I stoped by the dealer and was admiring one today.

welcome

Hmmm a strato blue member , i wonder if Gomez approves ;) i know he loves the shinka :eek: above all other colours .

Welcome on board you have a lot of reading ahead of you . :)

cheers

Congrats on selecting the complete package, Bli55d!!!
The S2K and Accord Euro definately don't provide the same driving pleasure that you'll get from the 8. Enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyy n welcome to the gang!

Good to see you're enjoying your new car Al! :D

welcome mate, hope you will find alot of infomation he, as well as making lots of friends :D
btw, thats a very nice colour ;)

Welcome Welcome!!

Good to see someone in a different colour... to the popular 'Velocity Red' of course! ;)

welcome!

Taking mine in for the 1000km service soon. Nice colour too.

Make sure you drop in and say hello Aaron. :D

Great photo, great colour. The strakes look good on it. Welcome!

Very nice photo!

Welcome to "our place".

Cheers,

Congrats on being a fellow Strato blue owner. I'll keep an eye out for it. For a while i was boasting about having the only Strato blue in Sydney but in the last few months i have seen a few popping up in dealers all over the place. I even saw one when i went for a service last week.

Still have not seen one outside a Mazda dealer however. Enjoy having a very rare colour (the Americans don't have it) and it looks unreal especially when the sun shines on it.

Strato Blue is indeed a very rare colour in the 8.
Even amongst buyers of other Mazda models, it is a colour that you either love or hate.

I personally love it and would have chosen it over the Winning Blue if it had been available at the time of purchase.

hope i can learn more about the car from everyone....a bit of a newbie when it comes owning a rotary(my 1st)


Ahhh yes, seems just like yesterday...... :) I bought mine on Feb 28th last year...at 4.40pm. The sun was shining, the air was clear. The 10km drive home went all to quick. Halcyon days, the new car delivery days. I was just like you last Feb 28, a rotary newbie........they suck you in, I tell ya :D .

Welcome,
Gomez.

Beautiful color, post more pics if u got em... congrats.

thanks for the warm welcome guys :)

yeah for the moment its seems like a rare colour(i hope it stays that way) - ive only seen one on the road in that colour - and that was a few months ago

the sydney weather isnt helping in keeping the car look shiny and schmick.....next day after picking up the car, it rains. Clean the car on weekend and it rains today :mad:

Just hoping petrol prices come down a bit.......seems to be getting more and more expensive

ill try and get more pics when we get better weather

cheers

have to admit that stratos blues looks great, better than b blk or w blue or even shinka :D
if you want an unique colour, just change the colour :D
there will be two more unique 8s on the road soon, a baby blue pearl over blk and burnt orange :D
and knowing my luck, the petrol price will probably go higher as soon as i have my 8 back on the road :(
