View Full Version : Daydreaming Or Rx8 Fever!!
oilman 07-21-2003, 03:54 PM I'm probably a complete SADDO but, does anyone else daydream about their RX8 on their daily drive to and from work??
I must say that lately I've found myself imagining I was in my RX8
during my daily drive only to wake up and realise that it isn't really here!!
Maybe I just programmed myself to having the car by now and I have a touch of RX8 fever. THANKS MAZDA FOR THIS ILLNESS!!
Can I sue them!!:D
I need a holiday, thank god that's only 3 weeks away, SUN, GOLF, POOL, SUN, GOLF, POOL, RX8, RX8, RX8, RX8, RX8!!!!
OH SH1T I'VE LOST THE PLOT.
Cheers
Oilman:p :eek: :o :confused:

And I thought it was just me.
I have noticed this seems to get worse the closer I get to your neck of the woods (it must be something in the Cornish air) as I drive down to Bodmin regularly as I am designing three road improvements on the A38.
However, I think the worst incidence of this was on my way up the A42, just where the BNRR starts and I just imagined myself nipping through the cones and giving the 8 a workout on the uncluttered virgin tarmac.
Sad or what
Chris :D
mr_digital_uk 07-21-2003, 04:45 PM My Mazda Xedos is feeling the strain!!! Been red-lining it ever since I ordered ... just trying to get used to the thought of 9000 RPM.
Mind you, it's been pretty impressive given that it's only 144 BHP.
Let me add another twist --- I've been building this spreadsheet with relative lengths, widths, heights, BHP, weight, power to weight ratio, wheelbase etc then graphing the RX8 versus the competition ... how sad is that :(
Two findings: The Boxster is very similar in many ways and ... how come my Xedos is so light? (100kg less than the RX-8)

Ps. You'd better not read this thread Mazda UK, what sort of potential Customer base do you have here:confused: :eek: :p
MarkW 07-22-2003, 01:51 AM Aren't blokes meant to think about sex every 5 minutes or something??
I bet most people here now think about their RX-8 as often as that now :D :D
cw007 07-22-2003, 01:53 AM actually Mark if you must know im thinking about sex every 5 minutes in the rx8. Kill both birds with the one stone.
:D :D :p
morganrogers 07-22-2003, 01:59 AM Yep.
Every morning I drive my 'virtual' RX8.
Also thought it was just me !
Oddly , I am driving my car more gently.
I think I must be mentally be preparing myself for the running in period.... the other half commented on this before I noticed.
AnilS 07-22-2003, 03:18 AM You're all mad. No daydreams but nightmares, that the delivery will be later.
Still the thought of sex in the 8 sounds nice, just as well I've ordered (easy wipe) leather.:D
AnilS.
morganrogers 07-22-2003, 03:45 AM AnilS - That was IN the RX8 , not WITH the RX8.... :)
AnilS 07-22-2003, 04:21 AM Morgan, waiting this long for a car, makes me desparate!;)
AnilS.
cw007 07-22-2003, 04:31 AM Oh Lordy,
Dont want to have my car around where Anil lives. He might start humping it.... At least i might get a clean tail pipe :P
c170673 07-22-2003, 04:35 AM Don't forget to let the exhaust cool before engaging in such activities, otherwise nasty burns can be caused.
Don't ask me how I know this, I just do.
Chris
AnilS 07-22-2003, 04:45 AM How "tight" are the exhausts ?:D

oilman 07-22-2003, 04:56 AM Guys,
Aren't we going off topic a bit:D
I was referring to us poor deprived (depraved) future RX8 owners dreaming about the pleasure of owning an 8!!
I think mine's here already, IN MY DREAMS:(
Cheers
Oilman
Nice to see I'm not alone though, SADDO:eek:
RobDickinson 07-22-2003, 09:49 AM Not quite as bad as the day after I tested an MX-5 (when I ordere the 8).
Woke up the next day ready to leap out of bed into the MX-5 an do for a drive. Was realy down all day because I still had my damned focus (ok, its a food 'family car').
If the RX-8 doesnt give me the same feeling (as the MX-5) I wont buy it.
ggreen29 07-22-2003, 02:21 PM One of the more amusing commercials I've seen recently was one where a space shuttle astronaut was daydreaming that he was driving his Toyota (or whatever the car was).
renegade_si 07-23-2003, 07:59 AM well, after selling my Eunos (mx-5) in June ready for the delivery of the RX-8 at the end of June/Start of July, I've now got fed up of driving my e-reg honda accord that I've gone and bought another eunos.

its coming this afternoon - whoopie. Now for some good weather again.
c170673 07-23-2003, 08:50 AM Someone sent me this picture today (I don't know why) but I thought it was apt for those interested in getting better acquainted with thier RX-8's.
