Women are fickle, Mr Emd. It was an expensive 'five minute wonder' ..... :(

If I remember rightly, Mrs Opti wanted a new kitchen and you went and bought
yourself her a sports car instead! ::) ;D

The number of cars I've bought that woman over the years.... :-\
Is she grateful?.......is she f**k. :-\
I'm sure her sister would show far more appreciation if I bought her a new car..... ;) :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

These cars wouldn't be guilt purchases after being caught trying to chat up your sister in law would they? ??? ::) ;D

Very common cause for divorce and a need to replace a laptop screen, carnal relations with SIL. :o :o :o ???

I wonder whether Mrs Opti's 1 & 2 had attractive sisters as well? ::) ;D

Fixed :y

Yours was undoubtedly in better nick, Opti ;) But then mine came with a rock bottom price..
I still need to wash it so it looks half presentable, but at present it looks like this:

And it is red and therefore a lot faster :y

;D True! Although not at the moment.. it's in desperate need of a rebuild.
The picture doesn't do the colour justice - when it's clean and on a sunny day it sparkles like a vampire in Twilight; it's bordering on "metalflake" but I think billed as a pearlescent colour. Really very nice..
On a dull day and when it's covered in bits of tree, though, it just looks like flat red ;D
-
Very nice, Aaron. For less than £3000 in total Amy will have a great little motor. I hope that she shows her appreciation for your efforts..... ::) ::) ::) ;)
If memory serves I believe that the doors are made of aluminium. :y
Driving gently I achieved almost 20 MPG once. ::)
-
My only concern is that 230 BHP will be too much for a 'mere' girlie..... ;) ;D ;D
-
What it needs is a V6 dropping in it :D :)

Apparently it would spoil the 50/50 handling balance, Mr Emd.
The rotary engine has a flat torque curve just like a big american V8. The only difference being that a big capacity V8 has loads of torque everywhere whilst the rotary engine has SFA torque everywhere. ;D
-
There's been a few engine conversions on them , mostly 4 pots ..

;D She's taken my M3 around Oulton Park before now ;)
On the engine conversion front - there's been plenty of LS* into RX7 conversions, I imagine there's been some into the 8 as well.. though I'd love an RX7 with an LS3 in it, I think they're far better looking than the RX8 even :y

Yes, a mate of mine has one of them. Not jealous, of course. ::)
-
Well that's the engine rebuild sorted then ;D
-
What happened to the Cobra project :-\
-
That's still in the garage.. looking a lot like it did a year ago :-X :-[
The RX8 is meant to be replacing the M3 as a fun interim car when the M3 gets traded in to a Nissan dealer in September for something very sensible and boring.. although in a perfect world the sensible boring car would be replacing the Omega!

Same colour as the one that parks next to me when I can be bothered to go into the office. :y
-
Hood looks a bit faded unless its my eyes :-\
-
It does in the picture .. but it doesn't in real life :y
iPhones aren't exactly the best cameras in the world.. ;D
-

>Andy B mode on< A hood? I don't see a hood in that picture? A bonnet yes but not a hood. We're not in America you know. Etc etc >And yB mode off< ::)
-
Is the trunk the same faded :-\ A good mopping should bring color back :y
