I've been a member of the digitalspy forums for a few years now and it's very good for Sky / TIVO etc. It's also full of people who love Big Brother so beware! :D

Well, at least it worked for me. Hurray. Cheers Stuartt. Now looking forward to the 19th.

at least I'm not a troll that advocates Mazda removing the rotary and going with a piston engine. (heh to Rob Dickinson )

*Sigh*:D

It might be the case that 'Driven' is reviewing the RX-8 this week: so claims a colleague.

I beleive 'Driven' have driven the RX8, however I dont know when the new series starts.

If it's still on channel4 then it's not this week, as all this weeks motering programs on C4 are here http://www.channel4.com/4car/on_tv/index.html

OK, well....

I MIGHT be able to get a DIVX of this show, but my FTP server will never stand lots of people downloading what will be a LARGE file...

Who's got some bandwidth and could mirror it?

Well just watched the show and the all important review. Some nice pics a great to hear that sweet rotary engine but why oh why did they have such a sloane doing the review.
She drove it round the test track like she was on a shopping trip to London. The main features were shown and like i say nice to see the car moving but there must be better reviews to come.

Well that was short but sweet. Sounded great but the ride height seemed high. Also the body roll was noticeable when she took it on track and changed direction sharply. It was a German car so not sure whether the UK ones will be any different. Still - another very positive review...

Damn!!! I set up my computer to tape ITV and it chose the wrong channel (forgot I had two ITV's where I live)

Anyway .. watched it live and pretty happy with the outcome:

A revolutionary car, that revs like hell and sounds sweet, goes as well on the track as it does on the road, practical as hell and keeps company with the 350z and Audi TT.

May have been a lame test drive, but the messages were sweet enough.
