The Elise replacement

[gorrie]

Very nice Andy , will be interested to hear how you get on, on track with it?

I'd like to, yes... probably a Dreadnought night or 2.

I think it is great that NSU are still persevering with them and daring to be different.

Tut, you been on the sauce again? Or got the wrong meds dosage today? Aren't NSU the predecessors to Auto Union, now Audi?! Although they were the originators of the engine some 50 years ago, I don't think they are putting them in their cars anymore...it's only those crazy Japs who keep flogging themselves to do it

The RX8 is a potent track car
Jeff Clark (Arnold's Son) from Crieff used to regularly track his at KH with no oil consumption noticeable.
Very Light with Great handling and brakes.

The noise of a dyson hoover at the redline takes a bit of getting used to

Good choice Andy, I've always had a soft spot for the RX8

Stunning value for money too.

I remember when I was buying my Mini from Eastern a woman was in trying to p/x her RX8. She hadn't even owned it for a year and still owed £15k on the finance....the most they could get it underwritten for was £9k A great buy for the 2nd or 3rd owner though.

[campbell]

why are they dumping soooo much value so fast, these RX8s?

[gorrie]

Road Tax & Fuel Consumption Campbell... that's pretty much the only reason I can figure.
Suits me !!!

I have always liked the Look of the RX8

Four doors, quick, looks good, and great value for money.

Will be looking forward to hear how you get on with it

Well the first luxury has been having the ability to phone round over 6 approved garages within 30 miles & take my pick of the best price for a service !! I feel spoiled for choice.
Does the SE discount only work in MMC Lotus?? coz needless to say the price from MMC Mazda in Sighthill was the highest... 31% higher than the best price I got elsewhere.

Another RX8 fan here The Prodrive model is very tasty.

Good fuel consumption is overrated
