I'm sorry...
 
My opinion of rotary engines and the cars behind them was that they were brilliant track animals but kind of stupid on the street, giving away too much for the fuel use and lack of torque compared to more conventional engines.

I took a RX8 Type S for a test drive yesterday and would now like to apologise for my previous opinion.

So on behalf of a rotary hater, I'm sorry, I have now seen the attraction of these cars/engines and how wonderful they are to drive.

Have a fantastic day.

Oh noes.....another addict!


Honestly, almost 6 years now, I drive mine everyday, and it never fails to put a smile on my face and make my day. If you knew me you'd know how difficult that is to do with me.
