Melbourne Black 8 Capital?

Spent last week down around St Kilda, saw 3 different black 8's i think. At least 2 different plates, missed the third, saw one blue and that was it.

Is the "Blckrx8" one of us? (think that was the plate)

Was eating with the family at the Malaysian next to the Prince on Acland when this sucker cruises around the corner, by the time i hit the pavement to have a closer look it was gone!

Back across for 24 hours tomorrow night I'll be spottin! :D

I was thinking Melbourne was the the home of Blue, Black & Red (Gotta love the red). And I've only seen one yellow since moving to Melbourne from Sydney 9 mths ago and that was on our RX8 big day out to lake mountain.

The only Yellow I've seen was the one that spent its time rotating between shopping centres and Bourke Street Mall as an example of a raffle prize.

I've not seen too many Titanium either (other than mine : o))

Blah. Black is SO common. Winning Blue is obviously the colour of royalty. :D

Not colour wars again!

But since I'm here...at least my titanium is now a collector's item (as is yellow).

Bang! Bang! - gunmetal rules!!! :p :D :D

Surely you don't think STANDARD with a "bling bling" fuel cap cover would be a collectors item? God help you!

Titanium has been discontinued Tim.

And don't knock my bling bling fuel cap - I'm still a long way short of the retina scorching efforts of Gibbo! :D

If you check East Moons map, you'll see that Brisvegas/Gold Coast is the Black capital. More Black there than anything else. Sydney is the Titanium capital, and Melbourne have more Winning Blue's than anything else.

It's all arseabout really. Black cars where the sun belts down, boring Titanium cars in Sin City and lairy Winning Blue cars in "conservative" Melbourne. Perth is the real crackpot area, as usual. 50% of the RX-8's there are bloody yellow .

Amen to that. One of the best things about titanium is it's dirt absorbent characteristics.
