French RX-8

Hi everybody,

Here're some pics of my RX-8 received last week.
It's a standard french model (yes I live in France), high power. I've just added side wings, exhausts finishers and sport suspension from Mazda accessories.

Hi Mikeb!

Perhaps u have pics from ur inside?
This 8 is so lovelly... Specially in Velocity "Changing" Red!

I'm not a 8 owner for now but I'll be in the future!

The main problem is the fuel consumption considering that in Europe, 1 US gal. costs something like 4 bucks!!!!!
And I'll be driving 17'000 miles ( mainly dowtown ) each year so...

But "when we love, we don't calculate..."


Bye for now

Most of frenchs are devoted to french cars, I think so.
I'm Belgian, living in France (my wife is french) but most of cars of my family-in-law are Peugeot/Renaut

Pictures of the inside will come, I'll shoot some after work today.
I attach another pics for the lovers of the fog light...

hmmm.... too bad fog lights are hardly used in most scenarios. its illegal to use it in fine weather .... which is basically what we experience all year round over here.

Hi Yanje,
I see that u own a VR 8 with R/B Leather.
What a great choice! If I'll order a 8 it'll be just the same...

Concerning the use of the fog lights, it's the same thing in Europe...

Nice pics. In Paris a few weeks ago and was looking everywhere for an RX-8. Finally saw one on my ride to the airport. It was red too. Enjoy!!

Oh, to have an 8 in Europe - you lucky, lucky guys. Okay, not so lucky about the fuel prices, but the Fun Factor of having an 8 there should go a long way toward erasing the pain at the pump. But where are the yellow headlights?

If you encounter a guy with a dopey grin driving a pale green Volvo S80 waving frantically at you late August/ early September, don't be alarmed. It'll be me, driving my wife's new car, but really wishing I were driving yours.

Peugeot was here in the states back in the 80s, my father bought one for my sister (It was a 504...) That had to have been the worst car ever built, a few years later they pulled out of the US market...

If the French did not buy French cars there would not be any...

Nice RX8, congrats...
