[callywally18]

Hi all,

Thought I would update on my third car after I have been driving just after a year.

First car was an Alfa Romeo 147 1.6 TI in red
Second car was an 08 white Alfa Romeo spider 2.2 le

Unfortunately I had to sell the alfa to fund other things

So I had 1500 quid to buy myself a car, and I know the history and problems of the rx8 but just couldn't resist

80,000 miles
12 months mot
3 months tax
3 month warranty
Full black and red leather



Will upload some more pics when I get chance !

There is a "top up NOW" oil level warning light as well as a "you are currently fking your engine" oil pressure light, but better not to let either happen.

Does it start easily if you get it hot and then turn the engine off for a couple of minutes?

It always starts (touch wood) within 2/3 seconds and then sounds healthy instantly even after a spirited drive.

Fingers crossed ey !

Last night i had a slight altercation with a lamp post.


Engine still going strong though!
