Day out in the mountains
This is my favourite image from my day in the mountains today. You can really see the blue in this one.

Rotary Accent
I got the accent fitted yesterday (they call it a crest here). I think it goes really well with titanium but not sure on all the colours.

Update
Brakes are fully bedded in now and feel good. I was just suprised how long it took for them to become effective. Had a good time in the twisties and got a bit of DSC action. It cuts in really late which is good - just at the point you're beginning to panic. 
I didn't really push it that hard but it cut in on a couple of left handers where the surface was terrible. I also purposely tried it out in the rain yesterday - managed to pull a huge wheelspin off the lights up hill even with it on! It's fun as it doesn't kill the power like other systems but let's you carry on - so you don't just stand still with the wheels spinning.
It was a good day to acclimitise myself with the car - starting to feel quite comfortble with it. Now all I need to work out is that Japanese navi! :D

JSG-
that first picture is GOURGEOUS! good luck deciphering that Navi...maybe when one of us gets our RX's, we can scan the entire intruction manual, to thank you for all the info you've given us!
actually, i heard the navi isn't much different from the 6's navi...maybe someone with a 6 can scan that manual for you?

Very nice pics, JSG-san.
Today was a fine day in Kanto area. I bet you really enjoyed your drive. The metric color of the titnium looks very good under any situations.
The rotary accent on the fron bumper also seems very well.
I have read other owner who has a blue 8 said that the rotary accent was not so good for blue.
P.S. I will add a burglar alarm this weekend

£$^%$"£$^&%$££ !!!!
These are wonderful shots. Great to see you enjoying the car so much. Once a year the wife says, "lets go for a drive in the country." With the 8, no doubt I will happily oblige....on a daily basis!
BTW : how much of the drive was to show off your car?

i get what you're saying, but don't all drivers who want to experience and test the handling of their new cars go to the mountains?
No doubt, he would have overtaken lesser (about everything on the market today) cars during the twisties!
The point though is : as long as he had fun.

Wow.. spectacular..
Makes me even more
that no one has their cars.
Is it me, or does the grey have like a blue tint to it.. Like when you see it at different angles?? Just look at the nose of the car and draw your eyes to the back.. dont you see a slight hue change in the picture?
JSG please confirm..

That first pic looked so good I had to use it as my avatar. If you have a problem with that you can just PM and I will change it.
Too bad it doesn't look as good when it is shrunk down to 100X100.
