Awesome stuff!!!

I mentioned in another thread that I should have this as an MPEG on the site soon.

Good to hear it did well (same times as the M3?? - now that is impressive, considering how much grunt that thing has).

Hi Glenn,

l did tape it and will send it to anyone who can transfer it to the net ? but l have wondered if the BBC will make it available now they have shown it.

here\'s the preveiw page.    http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/prog25/mazda.shtml

p.s. will someone move this thread onto the RX-8 section please.

All the best Clive

excelent review ... although Clarkson has obviously scared himself in the wet at some point ! :rollin although how you can hold that against a rwd car I do not know.

They either have no power and you have to really provoke it to misbehave or you have lots of power and a good chassis so its predictable when the invetitable happens   (1st case mx5 2nd case 3rd gen rx7)

Someone on rx8ownersclub ripped a low-res version and I\'ve put it on my site for anyone that wants:

Was a fantastic review - wanted to ring everyone and say "Look LOOK, told you it\'s good!"

EDIT: It\'s ~15Mb so will take a while over a modem...

Apparently there\'s also a review on Fifth Gear tonight at 20:30 in case anyone didn\'t know.

Tiff is believed to like the 350Z unlike Jezza, so it may not be so favourable. But I very much doubt if it\'ll be slammed for anything other than MPG/emissions

Hi all,

I have a high quality copy that I should be able to put up tonight sometime.  I\'m looking forward to seeing it (thanks for the link nirolex - I\'ll have a preview!).

[scooby_si]

Well Tiff liked it although did appear to give the nod to the nissan :rolleyes: although wasnt so much of a like for like comparison but still all good reviews & quite a nice graphic they had for the rotary :cool

sorry if slightly off topic but clive mentioned that clarkson like the 3rd gen aswell. But was wondering if anyone has a video clip of the said review would love to see it or any video review of a 3rd gen i have not seen one.  Cheers all

[EZZY]

wow... thats awesome.

just saw my very first top gear on tv last night and judging by the hosts personalities, i thought they\'d rubbish the 8, but the tall guy didnt (cant remember his name). very pleased with their review.....

me go watch it again.... thanks for the link!
