Not any more... he returned it. Had a lot of electrical issues with the alarm going off all the time and stuff. A shame, really.

Oh, so this is the same two-year old review then. I have that already
By the way, I wonder what Discovery Channel are you guys watching... Is it the East Coast schedule? Top Gear will only be at 10 PM on the West Coast, and it's 7:43 PM here. Still the American Chopper is on...

Apparently I missed this quote last time I saw it. "Feels like it's running on double cream"
LOL, yeah if only it did it may get better mpg. Still nice to hear though. :D

Maybe that's where the missing hp went. Cholesterol clogging the fuel injectors.

There I was. Sitting infront of my widescreen TV. 7.1 reciever cranked up. On comes the RX8 segment and it's cut. Half of the bloody episode is gone including the run on the test track. I'm verry dissappointed.

hahaha, that is such a old show i saw that 2 years ago when i lived in the UK.
Still dont understand why they didnt race it around the clock, although i guess its not really in the lambo league lol.

They do race it around the track. Does the same as the 350z and M3 iirc. I have the full video footage. I'm guessing in the rerun they just didn't show all of it.
