Still, might not be the time to play nuisance neighbour.
We move into the new digs on 5 May. Damn, I hate moving.

Nice street. Shame about the weirdo walking around taking pictures of the neighbour's cars.
You know we won't rest now until you've snapped some pics of the offending Magna (or preferably some vid so we can hear it).
BTW, I've never liked those Maser's - look a bit too girly for me.

Just been reading some about the new 911 Turbo. 
How's this for some numbers: 358kw
, 620Nm 
(between 1950 and 5000rpm - there's also an overboost function which briefly fattens it up to 680Nm 
because, let's face it, 620Nm is pitiful ), 0-100km/h 3.8secs 
(claimed), 12.8l/100km (also claimed).
I want one.

Yeah, but owning two shows a distinct lack of imagination (I know he'd like us to think it shows excess of money, but I'm not buying that 
) 
Bugger talking to your Magna owning mate (just slash his tyres, and call the council about an abandoned car
) ...strike up a discussion with the Maser owner, and shame him into buying something really tasty

And it's probably the demographic but I only ever see silver haired blokes and over-dressed middle-aged women driving them.

Actually, the first solicitor I worked for has made a motza out of owning a few pubs (ahem, sorry, poker machine venues where beer happens to be sold). A licence to print those things.

Was browsing through the Europe forum and found this:
https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/my-n%FCrburgring-8-a-73561/
As you'd imagine, Taka had latched onto it long ago.
Download the guy's video - great vision and sound.
BTW, I reckon the white stripes look really effective against the Ti grey. What do you guys think? (and no - I'm not about to copy him).

Maybe he's wondering how long that Mazda dick will put up with the racket. Maybe he's got a bet running with his missus!!
