Hi from Portugal
 

Hello guys
So, i`m a very proud owner of an Rx8, for almost 3 weeks now, and i simply l-o-v-e it, i "followed" it for several years always thinking that one day.....
Now i finally got it, i`ll be honest, sometimes i still cant believe it, and i`m feeling like a little boy with a new toy, i go to my garage to check this or that...really excited. I`ve always been a guy that love cars and bikes and like to drive them fast....but....at the same time everytime i get something new i spend a couple of months taking it easy, just knowing the car i guess, i`m loving it so far. Still had no chance to get max speed, i had a lot of trafic lately, still i managed to get 217 kmh in 5th, no 6th gear yet cause i had to brake several times. Just one little thing i`m noticing, from 160 /170 kmh i feel a bit of vibration in the front of the car, not sure if it`s the front wheels, does anybody feel the same ? just curious about it. Just to finish the post, i have bought some fender strakes and here`s a couple of pics. Thanks for reading and good luck to all. I`m out for the weekend, cant wait to drive it again :yesnod:

I like the last picture.
We have a seperate section for Europe.

How you find some other club members over there.

Welcome to the club!

These are really nice cars.
I know how you feel too because I like to easy into any hardcore driving by feeling out the car over time and driving it like a "granny" then I'll head out to my favorite twisties and have some fun when I have a feel for the car.

But I'm not one to push it to the limit however.
Them dayz is behind me.

welcome 2 the addiction

welcome the addiction!

welcome to the club man :)

Nice, had to show the wife, her dads from Sao Jorge Island apart of the Azores. Personally I dont own any, I just rebuild the motors all day and drive the companies test car occasionally. I spent friday building 14 engines so I kinda get tired of seeing the engine all day and need to drive something else home lol. Drive safe, wonder what the speeding laws are like out there, personally I haven't driven fast in a long time, stupid teenage years and managed 147mph in my z32 but never again.

ahh i want to go to portugal....my family is all from there.

but hey goodluck with the car!

viva o benfica!

Didn`t knew about the European section, i`ll search it now, thanks

Hi, never been at Açores but i know it`s beautiful islands with breathaway views, say "Olá, bom dia" to your wife from me. Speeding laws: Freeway - 120 km/h, but sometimes if it`s safe i just hammer the throttle, just have to keep an eye on bridges and anything "suspicious", the police uses several ways to nail us. I think you have a really nice job mate.Cheers

Thanks, i`m really surprised to see so many Portuguese mentioned here

Wow, perfect portuguese words,I support Benfica too, hard years lately though, that tatto in your avatar, is it yours ?


Thank you so much for the warm welcome guys, health (wealth :)) and good luck to all.

Welcome and thanks for the pics!
