the rx 8? a good car to drive and practical with space for passengers or shopping BUT the style looks like several cars stuck together. didnt rock my boat never mind zooom zooom. i was only looking to change cause i fancy a elise 111s mark 2 but the dealers are only offering silly money for mine, 2000 x reg S1. jtc in leeds offered £9000, im still distgusted now that why i went to see other makes but IMHO non look as good as the elise. maybe i will buy some mods instead or just keep looking for a deal on a 135 or 111s

£9k!! That is around £5k less than they (Dealers) were selling ave' mileage W and X plates last summer.

Ooops! Thank god I'm not selling.

Any how roll on summer days or any day without rain.

Set of Nitrons and a PTP165/170 . . . it's then as fast as the S2111s and handles better . . . doesn't depreciate, looks better !, etc, etc

You think the S1 looks better than the S2?

jct are renowned for their offers on cars. I'm not gonna tell you the silly price they offered for my 340.

Nice enzo's though!

Some bits yes, some bits no . . . but for me the majority of bits are yesses . . . ;-) . . . although I have to say the S2 has grown on me a lot in the last year . . .
