RX-8s - are they waking up.

Martiny · April 17, 2006, 07:08:21 AM

When I am out in the 7, I seem to be getting a LOT more 8 owners waving back, than when they were first launched.

Are they waking up to what an RX-7 is?

They are probably thinking "Oh look there is that waving nutter again! Better wave back in case he hunts us down and removes our eyes with a dessert spoon!" :p

I don\'t bother to wave at 8\'s as there are bloody loads of them around here.

Loads round here. I chatted to one guy in an 8 a while back and all he said was "oh yours is the old school version of mine !!" , LOL , didn\'t mention mine was well over 100bhp more !

Its a shame alot of rx8 buyers don\'t have an idea of the other rotary stuff out on the road. I\'ve just stopped waving to them now, unless its yellow (Zak !!)

when i was driving back from liverpool to hereford (4hrs) i past 5, i waved to them all. not one back.by the fifth i was feeling a bit stupid for waving to nobody!!! my ms`s said "why are you waving to them people its not an rx7" i`ve given up now unless they wave first.

Lol, I thought about going to mazda garage again and blagging a drive in the new mx5. Thought about them letting me have a test drive and then taking the guy out in my 7 !

lol, i dont wave to any rx8 drivers....... it\'s a completely different car. no turbo, 4 doors, less power, cheaper than fd\'s when new etc etc

RobbieRX-7 · April 17, 2006, 01:49:19 PM

no point in waving imo. Its like having a bmw and waving to every other bmw driver.

I suppose it doesn\'t help that when me and a mate went to the Mazda garage in Derby the showroom dude looked out of the window and said "what cars that then"

? The rx7 didn\'t looked amused :Giggle

Rixio · April 17, 2006, 05:26:44 PM

Hahaha, lots of "what car is that then" around here

Yep I think you\'ve hit the nail on the head Martin. I have to confess that I\'m only just starting to recognise 7\'s on the road now.

Saw a nice FD on the M25 yesterday but as I was in my boyfriends BMW I thought it best not to wave in case he thought I was completely mad! :Laugh

Blitzboy and myself saw a few the other day going up to Shakespear Raceway...no reaction from the Rx8 drivers...we came to a standstill next to the one Rx8,....he did not hear us or see us or aknowledge(sp) us !!!!!!!!!Now there is no way you do not HEAR or SEE Blitzboy\'s 7..... :spank

Ricco_04 · April 17, 2006, 09:24:45 PM
