Thought about washing both 3.2 and 2.2, has been around 8 months since I've washed or hoovered either.

2.2 deserves a treat considering last few weeks, I'll treat them to a wash next weekend.

Put some petrol in it, it goes better with petrol in it....

Thought about washing it, didnt bother - the foreigners round the corner might get the pleasure of washing it for me though....

Played around with my Mini and wound the suspension up as a wheel is catching on the front valance.... got clearance on it now, and it actually rides better and lots smoother too....

I spotted your car today. Good to see it in the flesh.
Looks very neat. You are doing a great job!!

Tried to start the RX8, failed (dead battery despite being on a maintenance charger, methinks it's finally goosed).
Listed it on gumtree/ebay/pistonheads.

Clearing space so there's less to move if the house move comes off (offer accepted, mortgage application going in..). Anyone want a cheap RX8 that needs a rebuild?

Does it come with a free V8 (one that won't double its' weight)? ;)

Put the projects old struts onto the 2.6 so I could drop it back on the ground and swapped the centre armrests over as the one in the project creaked and was missing a hinge.
