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.

Thumbs up

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.......

Stafford to Birmingham daily commute, so parked up for most of the time on the M6!!

Also get upto Manchester and Derby or Leeds so M6 A50 , M1.

Want to do the same as titanium and take it abroad for a week or so to run it in and get used to the car.

Or after tonights Top Gear, Scotland looks good.

no, no, no
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)
