HELL YEAH! welcome to the addiction...i felt the same way when i first bought mine, all it took was a good 10 minute test drive and i fell in love

Days have never seemed to have lasted so long . Only got 3 more days to wait the garage is to busy to get the service done sooner
The cars only has delivery miles on the clock even though its 10 months old do you have to allow the engine to run in before pushing it at high revs like normal engines

Thanks for the replies so far

Does the E-brake get in the way on a RHD?

micndiesel 09-11-2008 03:00 PM

only driven one on test for 20 mins and didnt have any problems with it
ive drove lots of diferant types of cars all right hand drive but with odd controls so didnt really notice

gorgeous color...and that countryside in the background is unbelievable. Nice!!!

thebiggdaddy 09-11-2008 10:45 PM

Damn, I wish I could have a RHD. Wanna trade? Haha, nice pics.

briann 09-11-2008 10:55 PM

So thats a real background behind the 8?
Wow. pretty.
&Congrats&welcome! :)

i imagine it'd feel a lil weird shifting with my left hand. haha.

but i'd take one too.

btw, the e-brake was made for that side, so there shouldn't be any problem. they just didn't switch it over for us lhd. i find passengers always resting their leg up against the handle... quite annoying sometimes.

Welcome and congratulations! 9K RPM FTW!!!

I would check out www.racingbeat.com to read up on a good breakin procedure and their recommendations for rotary engine maintenance and performance. Racing Beat knows what they are talking about.
