Less than 100 days...

Using a guesstimate date of Wed 29th October (i.e. midway through the last week of October) as the first deliveries , as of today I reckon we have only 99 days left to wait for the RX8 !

Trivial I realize , but perhaps you may like to have some kind of days-left ticking off thing....

So , I will open with......

ONLY 99 DAYS TO GO ! ! ! !

Oh I'm sure they are.

But I'd be getting some help if i did anyhow.

Several peeps I know would love to build one, and my next door neighbour (worlds oldest boy racer) is an exceptional mechanic.

Shame I dont have the room , might look at renting some space at a local garage.

Ahhh, but going down to the garage, scratching your head for 40 minutes trying to work out how this bolt goes into that bracket, and then sodding off down the pub doesn't count for 6 hours build time... :D


I know what you mean though. But I have been toying with the idea of an Ultima to replace the Tuscan, and reading through a few people's own build sites does give a fair idea of what's involved. Bloody scary though, some of it.... Maybe a factory built one's the best way to go, but then thats about £25k to add on the price!!

Morgan, 99 days.......... You pessimist!

Maybe we should have a sweep on the date that they dock in the UK.

Some money for accessories for the winner:D

Cheers

if we do better vet the competition as we dont want any mazda employees involved cause they will win. Although going by past history they wouldnt even come last they are that way of the mark
