where in the UK .........
Another thread for you to releeve the boredum
Where in the UK are we likely to see most of these rx8's when they finally get on the road?
I notice quite a few of us are from Hertfordshire.
Would love to take this round the highlands of Scotland - the land of my birth....

I am in Taunton, Somerset although I do nip down to Cornwall occasionaly (so I may see Oilman down there)
Mine and the Wife's folks live up in Yorkshire and Derbyshire respectively so I may very well have to fine a more challenging route than the M5/M42/M1.

Hey ho
As it says, I'm in Leeds - but the RX will probably be visiting the open countryside and yorkshire for a few days to run in.
It's gonna be tough driving at under 6000 rpm for a week.......

i'm afraid that scottish roads have become far to busy, i think you should all stay at home.
yes, scottish roads now officially closed to tourists (except the M8, you guys are welcome to that)
