My brother just picked up his brand new rx8 today, thought I'd share some pics B).

nice driveway, the brick looks great :D

awsome!!!

Actually it drives similar to the svtf, you have to let is rev to get the most out of her. The rx8 redlines at 8500 rpm :blink:

nice house! what area is that?

yeah nice house, i mean cars.

I don't like the colour of his interior, but the car still kicks ass

It's in East Hamilton near Glendale golf course. The house backs on to the escarpment. I love it, forest to the back and nice view of the city on the terrace at the front. I should have a meet here some time in the summer, I have plenty of room with two decks and an 8 person hottub ;) . Approx. 4000 sq/ft (7 bedroom, 4 bathroom, two kitchens), and I need all of it with 3 kids and my mother living with us.

That's a sweet ride. Only one thing really keeps me from considering one down the road (besides the price): OIL BURNER.

You'd think they'd devise a better way to lubricate the little hamster wheels after 30-odd years of development :)

I think with proper maintenance it shouldnt be that bad.

My RX7 never really burnt oil.....my CRX did burn more oil that RX7.

Don;t those cars have that crazy cam-less engine???

Mr. Wankel (sp?) from Germany was the inventor of the rotary engine...don't know what car was first with a rotary engine though.

I believe the 1st manufacturer to use a rotary engine was NSU.



Laterz :)

^^^Cool. My dad owned a NSU motorcycle back in Germany (late 40's early 50's I think)
