Talking New owner.......

Just took delivery on my new RX8 and must say very very happy....

In the last 3 years I have had a total of 6 cars.....

Seat Leon Cupra
Honda Accord Type R
Seat Leon Cupra R
Honda Civic Type R
BMW M3 (2003)
and now a RX8

Out all of the above cars even the M3 (Although the RX8 in a straight line doesnt touch the M3) it handles the most dreamiest (if thats a word!). It feels like it can handle anything you throw at it....well chuffed!

Yours one happy UK owner!.

Bring on the B roads!.

Welcome to the club, Softlad. (Softlad? :D )
Why did you replace the M3 with the 8?

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Seats' make me drooooool - i love the look! Im like you - but not quite as lucky with the types of cars. I've had 5 cars in 6 years.

1994 Nissan Sentra (yuck - never go that route again)-got rid of it in '98
1997 Mustang GT (yes, technologically its a dinasour - but **** loads of fun to drive)
2001 VW GTi VR6 (nice on the insides and good all around grunt)
2003 Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor Coupe (nice - didn't excell in any category - did have a six speed thuogh and all kind of aftermarket susp. goodies)
2004 RX8 - just wonderful :D Only complaint is gas milage.

Holy crap, you put 300 miles on your car in 2 days?! You ARE really into your 8!

Awesome and congrats! I was watching a Top Gear video and they raced an RX-8 around a track and noted it was faster (or the same speed) as an '04 M3 Euro. I thought that was crazy! The M3 would definitely kill it in a straight line though.

But how's this for cool... Called me yesterday, picked it up today and tomorrow is my birthday... :p HAPPY Birthday to me! This is by far the best gift I have ever received!.....I gotta go for a ride!
