she actually wanted a 350z but! when i showed her what 350z money could get you a 10 plate r3! Previous owner absolute gent and member on rx8 owners club, we didnt actually win auction as some moron did the ebay special but a deal was struck and the car is stunning!

Thanks guys....4th rotary in 4 years so nearly catching up with my Nissan infactuation a few years back!
Dont think ill be going anywhere else if if i got the lottery theres just something about rotarys that gets me!
Cant put my finger on it! Maybe the uniqness. The lightweight small displacement power output and mazda attention to detail to put the engine into a superbly engineered chassis!

I drove this back yesterday and the handling is sublime and road presence is immense..other motorists gawking at you as if your in a supercar!

Hoping my wife falls in love with it as its her daily drive. Gone through the basics with her...just gonna leave her to enjoy herself. Shes a petrol head so lets see if i can turn her into a rotorhead!

Felix bath time!

been out for a drive today and she is getting the hang of it...Got to use the gearbox and not be afraid to rev it. Think i might have to take it out now again to give it a blast threw! oh well! Bargain £ as well ! private sale so lot less than dealers at 9k...slightly less than £7k. done about 300 miles all good...tax next month and rear tyres in about 6 months so all in very happy with purchase. Wheels are unkerbed and body condition is excellent.ZOOM ZOOM!
