Hi everyone I haven't been very active on here since joining and now my SC car has been sold I have moved onto an R3 which my plan is to keep stock so I can at least enjoy driving it on the road as well as on track days.
I have my project activity over in the RX8OC forum which if you are interested in looking just go to the forum and search for any of the reg numbers on my signature.

I have booked to drive my standard R3 up the hill on Sunday 24th September at this event https://www.prescotthillclimb.co.uk/event-details/september-car-club-day
A stand to park 12 cars would cost £120 but as I have booked 4 runs, 5 may be granted, and that give me a place in the paddock I wont be able to park on a stand.
At £55 for the 4 probably 5 runs up the hill I reckon that good value if you are interested in driving the hill please just book direct and let me know.
If you just want to attend and park on a stand then As soon as 12 people are on a list here or PM me then I will book a stand and trust to receive cash on the day, mad I know!
An added bonus at Prescott is the official Bugatti Museum which is fascinating if your are an engineering buff as they have the original drawings of the Type 35 and sectioned engines.

A few photos from Saturday

Holy smoke topic resurrection after all these years

Thought I would say hi again having received the latest Newsletter this evening, which then prompted me to come back onto the forum

Sorry to say my GT86 Auto is currently up for sale and have gone over to the darkside of EV Ownership full time instead

So Tesla track activity classed as "discharging about" as opposed to just driving about?

Hi Brett,

The RX-8OC will be there with 7 cars this year and you are welcome to visit the stand for some refreshment.

This invitation is extended to all MRC members who are attending the show.

I would just like say thankyou to everyone in the MRC who supported this event bringing their cars, and Malcolm for keeping you up to date, and boy do you have some beautiful and rare cars. Sorry about the rocky surface for some of Timeline cars hopefully no paint chips occurred!
There was talk of organising a "weekend gathering" next year to which would not actually be a show so watch keep an eye out for news!

This event is very much still on and bookings are now open so you are welcome to contact me directly for the booking code to secure your place on the RX8OC stand at tge show which has become established as the RX8OCs flagship gathering each year. The free bacon roll breakfasts have become legendary!

Read about this in the Christmas newsletter and thought "Why not" so I have booked the hotel. I presume there will be a convoy rendezvousing somewhere for the drive.

Its on Friday 5th July folks, not the 4th as I have posted.

Just in case anyone missed this the FD Owners Club https://fdoc.co.uk/forum/threads/rotary-track-day-with-magnitude-events-5th-july-2019.1632/page-8#post-28118 and the RX-8 Owners Club https://www.rx8ownersclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=78326&sid=940b299ec904952e47b9353d3a6d1c00  are supporting a rotary only track event at Blyton Park on 4th July.
There just 4 spaces left so don't delay if you want to take part on a special day with only 24 cars allowed to register for the event.
