No....our American friends don't have them on any of their RX-8 models.

Nice pic.

Matt,

Nice. I saw your car in the dealership last week and immediately "fell in love" with it. Started thinking about SKC's deal to upgrade to a new model for the same finance costs...

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Hymee.

I found Grand Prix is about that far out taking bookings, but last time I checked with Centenary they were only 2 days out.

Cheers,

Grand Prix told me about a week's wait for a service at the moment, which isn't too bad. I'm in the lucky (?) position of still having my old car, so I can always stop driving the RX-8 if it hits 1,000km and I have to wait for a service. That would be a pretty hard thing to do though, given the size of the smile on my face right now (just got home for a spin down around the Gold Coast)

It probably won't take long to hit 1,000km, given it's a work car, it'll get driven a lot.

Hehe, just lucky
Actually there was a motorbike on the right side of the photo where the brick wall bit is - which is why it might look a bit weird, it's been cloned in photoshop.

Yeah, when I first went looking for an RX-8 I wasn't really even considering the Revelation, because I thought the interior would be too light, but when I actually saw it, I really liked it.

The amazingly long amount of time it took for the paperwork to be done was annoying, but we got there I noticed today an small area of really light scratches on the bonnet though ... -sigh- new cars. Have to work out the best way of getting that area fixed up .. I imagine the scratches will buff out OK?

Mice pics, Matt.



BTW - Don't fret about your first service being late. It isn't like there is magic oil in it that stops working at 1000km or anything. Not even 2, 3, or 4000. They don't even change the oil at the aftersales free service, just a saftey check, and a chance to recticfy any "issues". No oil change till the first proper service, unless of course you ask and pay for it.

Cheers,
Mark.
