Hay guys, Were the 8's in Sydney gone? I have been driving to Lane Cove and back every day and have not spotted an 8 for all this week.

Come up to Chatswood some time! Aside from my red, in one day yesterday I saw a black, yellow and another red! Somebody's obviously buying 'em out there :D

Phillip,

Be on the lookout for a Velocity Red travelling from Balmain to Epping and back again from Thursday next week. You'll know it's me by the red, personalised plates and the dirty big grin on my face!

Mercedes - now there's a doctor's car ... but rather boring and more about the image and the quality than the enjoyment.

In fact in europe, Mercedes is not considered the best quality car. When I was in Germany/Munich early last year, I asked this of a work colleague. He said (and I know it is only his opinion):

1. Audi
2. BMW
3. Mercedes

Interesting.

Back OT - Saw a Yellow one yesterday morning on the Gateway heading north, didn't spot me.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Believe it or not, in the US, a survey was done on customer's perceptions of quality.
The results are as follows, the 3rd consumer choice is bound to shock you!

1.Honda/Acura
2.Toyota
3.Hyundai (?)

Hyundai, do you believe that?

Due to work emergency I spent the last 2 days in Singapore ...

I understand an RX8 in Singapore is close to $150,000AU due to tax and duties.

Despite the AMAZING price I saw 3 in two days ....

How lucky are we !!!

Brisbane:

Saw a Yellow one on Friday third floor long term car park at airport, Tropical QLD plates (Doubt the owner would be here --looked like it had not been cleaned since new)

Red one Saturday leaving bunnings @ Carseldine, looked great shimmering in the 40+ degree heat

Winning blue Intermittently spotted on Albany Creek road weekday mornings

Anyone?

Spotted two grey ones this morning on the way to work.

One on Parramatta Rd westbound at Haberfield, beeped and waved, but the old bird ignored me and drove off.

Second one parked in Pitt St City near Liverpool St.
