TOdays Australian will cost you $1.20 and has a lift out mag called "Marque".

In it there's a comparison of all the coupes on the market including the RX-8.

Even more important is that the dude sitting in front of the MX-5 talking about his new RX-8 is ME!!!!

 

Meh, like the last Marque, too little detail, all fluff!

Concerning with the efficiency figures they quoted too, looking worse by the day, 12.2l/100ks, driving hard like JSG did was pulling figures closer to 20 per hundred! Ouch, don't want to have to have a petrol tanker follow me around in this thing, it'd never keep up for a start :D

 

Ricdanger,

It's always interesting finding out what someone looks like when you've been speaking to them only on the telephone or over the net for a while. You look pretty relaxed in the pic.....as though you've just looked up from reading a particularly interesting anecdote in the RX-8 book.

Thanks for the heads up on the article.

P.D.U

 

After reading the australian marque section i wisely figured that it had to be rickdanger the similarities were ,ownership of mx5 and mx6 also that he was the 1st one to order on 2001 in australia .I hope the rx8 meets all of your expectations ,but if you want to drive it with out the congestation than occurs in inner melbourne you should come up towards the gold coast.
