Just driving past my local mazda garage and noticed they had a rather sexy rx8 standing in the forcourt--- popped in to have a look and got talking to the rep(who was damn fine) about the car- to my suprise she asked me if i wanted a test day with it on friday- explained that i already had an order in on the cooper s but she reckoned she can change my mind. lol:lol:

I am almost afraid to go back to the garage cos i reckon she can certainly change my mind and i really cant afford the extra 6k for the mazda- this girl must sell a lot of cars- she looked a bit like cameron diaz:!


Still test drive by myself is gonna be fun- how many miles do you reckon i could put on it between 11 and 5 on friday:lol::lol::thumbs:
