  3. This is gonna get sore I think the body kit might get lost on an Ebisu, but as I said the wheels are sweet You've PM (that'll keep them guessing )
  4. Some fair points here, the accident figures above make sobering reading. Though they are accidents and apart from the calous minority, no one sets out to cause carnage or break the law. I was, quite rightly, prosecuted for speeding on a motorway back in 1996, 99.36mph, it was on a Sunday, weather was dry and sunny, traffic was very light. I was fined £600 and had 3points awarded. I was guilty and had no defence. Two weeks later, a police car in Aberdeen, mounted a pavement, while doing excessive speed on a non emergency call, two's and blues blazing, and KILLED two pensioners. The policeman responsible was FINED £300 and had 6 points awarded to him. He kept his job. My point is that, while there is a need for policing the roads with regards speeding etc., it should be carried out in a fair manner. I'll leave it for you to decide if the policeman and myself were treated fairly.

  11. Domed is not the issue at MOT, it's the BS147d(might be 145), that ensures they are made to UK standard required for a MOT pass.
  12. Haha do tell!! Have you been gettin emails from Andy? Are we still good for the rx8 owners meet on Friday?

Was just about to ask you the same regards Andy's emails, yeah I got them mate and we're good to go on the Friday, just a bit of a pain the early start As far as free burgers go, even I can't get one I'm banned from going there anyway, coz I'm a "dad" and apparantly, they are the uncoolest animal in the world She doesn't mind a lift in the Z though , but now she drives, I suppose I'm even more banned Just realised that this is the meet point for the Spring meet Oh I hope she's working that day

  20. That's wise, but my dad said " Get ta f*ck out and find your own house to drive"
  21. After two glorious trips around Europe in my RX8 over the last couple of years, last years trip had the goal of getting through the Stelvio pass. Took a leisurely but fun "hoon" through Spain, the South of France up into Lake Como. Going from there up to Stelvio and reaching the more demanding climb, the handling of the 8 was great, but the lack of torque was dire That made my mind up, a new sports car was needed. You just can't get a four seat, four door sports car with the same practicality and handling as an 8, so I decided to go for a two seater. Then I remembered a little "play" I had with a 350z owner a few years back, he could match the 8 in the twisties (must have been a very good driver as the 8 is a superb handling car), but when a straight came into view, I was left for dead So I had a look at the usual suspects, BMW Z4, Caymen S, Audi TT and the 370Z. Unfortunately my pockets couldn't reach deep enough for the options list on the Audi and BMW with the Caymen, I just couldn't afford new. Test drove both the manual GT and the 7sp auto box versions and was intoxicated by the power delivery in all gears (well maybe not 6th ), that was it, put the deposit down a got a brand new, in the wrapper Ebisu Black GT with the Connect system and a few other extras thrown in Not as practical as the old 8 but ticked all the other boxes Happy as a sandboy now
