I'm in the cotswold area. My office is at 4401 Colwick Rd. Suite 607. Come by anytime during the day. We can do lunch or something.

Titanium & Yellow were the other two colors I wanted. But it was titanium that make me want one in the first place.

congrats again

yeah sport pkg + nav is really rare.... and having Nav (factory or aftermarket) has saved me SO MUCH TIME in terms of not getting lost, and time spent routing out the trip beforehand, now it's just plug in address and go, it's wonderful.

So if you have a moonroof you have the Touring or the Grand Touring? Which ones have the LSD and bigger breaks? I guess i didn't realize there were so many options since I bought mine used.

Dave, you forgot the queen of the models...SHINKA! That one [Shinka] is ALL eyecandy! I never heard of a "base" though. I thought the sport was the "base?"

I wish I had the factory Navi, too. I thought I could add it later......Silly Phantom.


Spaz,

Welcome. Is that the BB?

main difference between Touring and GT is the leather seats

and ALL RX-8's sold in US except the base model automatic comes with bigger brakes and LSD

enjoy

I made the same move, I drove a TiGray Shinsen miata with the blue top and seats. Originally wanted an S2K, but couldn't afford it. Got to admit I do miss top down motoring and the miata was a great car indeed. I traded as soon as I realized everyone driving one was 2x my age and to be honest with you the 8 is a keeper. The 8 is an excellent all around package for sports car enthusiast, welcome aboard!

Nice!

I think I'm going to go stealth with my 8 instead of chorme. The PO of my miata had put a TON of chrome bits all over the car and I never really dig it. I should have my tint done next week.
