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...

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...
