    sleepy driving is more dangerous than being over the limit apparently.
    so for the safety of everyone else, please get some sleep

    what colour you getting?
    brand new?

    Re: Picking up my RX8 tomorrow

    Just make sure to keep a watch on the oil level, I dont know how old the car is, and iirc the newer models dont use it so much, but isnt it just a quick peek at the dipstick after every 3 tanks of fuel?

    Re: Picking up my RX8 tomorrow

    Its a silver 231 edition. Its a 2005 plate, managed to pick it up for just over £6k.

    Sold my Swift for £4,250 so quite a good upgrade for the price

    Driving through Snowdon on the weekend too....

    Re: Picking up my RX8 tomorrow

    Seriously considering upgrading to one of these in the summer.

    I'd initially discounted them due to running costs, but after seeing how the purchase prices have dropped i reckon i could off-set the running costs.

    Keep us informed how you get on, and pictures, i demand lots and lots of pictures!
