Not really a new member but..

Hey all,

So I'm not actually a new member.. been on here for many years just never posted anything.. ever.. always been on the .au site or whatever I used to use in the UK.

I thought I'd at least post an intro, being the polite chap that I am ;p

And not a new owner either actually.. I'm on my 4th, with two in the garage at the moment.. the first was a lease and that gave me the bug.. the second was my UK road and track car, only parted with it because I moved over to Australia.
Now I'm in Oz and I have a BP road registered RX8 and a second one that is about to get a REW transplant to be used as a track toy..

Anyhow, hope to enjoy the site and continue to learn from our shared experience!
Cheers..

(mental note.. don't take a Rotary on a touring trip around Europe! hell expensive!)
Accueil | Château de Gruyčres (check it out.. stunning!)

This one is in Lichtenstein, one of the worlds smallest countries, known at that time as a finance powerhouse (i.e. tax haven) and.. it's export of false teeth.. I kid you not!

And here are a couple from track days in my second one.. This one we actually bought (the first was a lease) so I could thrash it and mod it as required..

Then we moved to Australia and had to leave the grey one behind..

So we got this one.. with a blown motor.. but luckily I had swapped my grey one for a fresh built bridge port before I left the UK so I happened to have a spare motor to drop in.. cause that's normal, right?

(EDIT: I should have said, mine's the red one..)


I've got a few photo's of this one on track at Wakefield raceway here but I can't find them atm..

and finally.. since I've probably posted enough for today..
Here is the track-car-in-training..

I've only just recently got my hands on it so much to be done.. The Reni is coming out, I have a REW on the way, it'll be caged and dedicated for the track.. Much work and hilarity to ensue..
