Smile My new RX8

Hey there, just to introduce myself, I'm Oliver, 33. I'm picking up my RX8 today, so a bit excited.
So here's my new beauty...
231 hp, UK specs, with only 34000 miles on the clock.
She is still proudly displaying her British 04 plates, but all importation paperwork is already in order, and I just have to get the car registered (and taxed) under my name.

If you haven't already, check out the new members thread. READ ALL OF IT. It's very helpful and will help you keep you 8 for a long time if that's what you are in to.

Very nice! A blast from 12yrs ago. Amazing how well the design has withstood the test of time.
Used cars are super cheap in UK, correct? high taxes or something?
