Order placed!

Well I put my order in today. One order placed for 240ps model RX-8, in Winning Blue, with Leather and full Mazdaspeed kit. :D

Have been given an Oct/Nov arrival date, so still some time to go yet. Although I've placed the order to get me in the queue, I checked with the dealer and I have a couple of months to play around with the spec as it won't go into build for another 2 months. About 90% sure on the colour (tempted by red, with the two-tone leather, or black), and can't decide if I want/need SatNav.

Anyway - I'm in the queue now, so looking forward to getting the car!

Also, T W Whites so far have been extremely helpful and seem to have a good idea what is going on with the RX. I've used them for 3 years when I had my MX-5, and would definately recommend them to anyone in the South.

Congrats Sixspeed!,

Can I ask how much you piad for the Mazdaspeed kit?, as I was not aware it was announced yet?

In my totally unbiased opinion, Velocity Red is the best colour and you get the Red/Black Interior. Just ask the Oilman!

Just to tempt you...

Congrats - mine is coming from TW Whites too. Dealt with (but yet to meet) a chap called Rob = very helpful.
What is the Mazdaspeed kit by the way?

I was tempted by red/black interior, but since I have ordered it in black - not possible.
I placed my order a month or so ago - still nothing from Mazda UK, but sept/oct hopefully for delivery.

MarkW - good interior pic - where did that come from?

Congrats from the Yanks across The Pond! You are required to post pics now upon delivery, and I don't mean just cached away her in the Euro Forum. :D :D

Edo,

Got so many pics now :D I cant remember where they all came from. It might have been from the press pack.

Let me know if you have any requests for any more.

Where was that picture taken? That looks like the "Mystery RX8" that was on the Detroit stand, but I haven't heard of it being seen anywhere else.

Good job. I'm concerned about that handbrake getting in the way... since other people dont seem to have mentioned it, it must be ok...

Ask East Moon or JSG on main forum, they have their cars and JSG is a Brit working in Japan.
