AT LAST! Your RX-8 book is at your dealer.
Recieved a letter this morning from Mazda Warrington.
Inside was an invitation to collect my 192 page Mazda RX-8 hardback book which was waiting for mat at the dealers.
Also it mentions that there will be articles posted on the UK RX-8 site but the Japan trip winners and their impressions of the test drives they took. It also states the site has been updated with the whereabouts of the cars over the next few months, including some potential events that have not as yet been confirmed.
The last paragraph states that you will be contacted soon with an update on the delivery of your car.!

Anyone know if one of the others is open to the public and north of the M4?

Do all pre-orderers get a book ? Or is it something your dealer has sorted out for you ?
i.e. was the letter actually from your dealer of from MazdaUk centrally ?

He must have had 15-20 copies.
Each one is individually assigned to a pre-orderer (your name is on the outer cardboard sleeve), so they have no spares.
If you haven't had the letter by tomorrow, try ringing your dealer anyway.

I called my dealer and he knew nothing about it (even though he has an RX-8 on order for his wife allegedly) so it'll be interesting to see if I have a letter when I get home from work.

For some reason it won't let me edit my quote to change it

Aha! I had indeed received the letter when I got home. I phoned my dealer and he is asking the parts department whether the book has been delivered to them as that might explain its absence. Looks like, against all known probability, Mazda UK are getting some kind of an act together. Also, I'm pleased because this confirms that my order is one of the first 1000 (ordered March 5th but changed my colour after that) and that I should be in with a chance of getting one of the early deliveries. Now if my dealership hasn't lost the book... ;-)

Because it claims that the European high power will do
0-62mph - 6.8sec
Top speed - 148mph
That is a lot slower than I have read from some of the reviews.
However I would not be too disappointed as I have noticed that most manufacturers are conservative when it comes to quoting performance figures.
