Just driving past my local mazda garage and noticed they had a rather sexy rx8 standing in the forcourt--- popped in to have a look and got talking to the rep(who was damn fine) about the car- to my suprise she asked me if i wanted a test day with it on friday- explained that i already had an order in on the cooper s but she reckoned she can change my mind. lol
I am almost afraid to go back to the garage cos i reckon she can certainly change my mind and i really cant afford the extra 6k for the mazda- this girl must sell a lot of cars- she looked a bit like cameron diaz
Still test drive by myself is gonna be fun- how many miles do you reckon i could put on it between 11 and 5 on friday

only a 2 month wait as well- better than 6 months for the cooper s
-I will definately have one of these in the next couple of years- let my insurance company get used to the s first- they nearly shit the bed when i told them i was getting the mini- cant see them liking the idea of me changing from a gr3 corsa to a group 17 mazda lol

danny - nearly every new model has teething problems to start with- although the rotary engine does apparently need a hell of a lot of looking after- does make a lurvely noise though
