Always great to see new people posting. It dosn't matter what you drive, feel free to join in on anything. The website has become quiet due to many people on facebook, however there are a few people posting on here. always good to try to keep it active.
Posting photos of car shows, chatting about meeting up at places to cruise to events. There is a Calender section listing up and comming events.
What car do you have? How long have you had it?

Thats good because im completely anti-fakebook, its full of idiots and adverts, left a few years ago now! Ive got a 2004 RX8 that ive had since Feb, had a couple of MX5’s before that but finally realised im too big for them (6’4” and 19/20st ish). Its quite far from standard but i wouldnt call it custom yet

RX8, that's the Rotary/Wankel isn't it? Back in the early 70's my old man had a NSU RO80, very smooth runner.

Its both, 9/9.5k rpm as standard (not sure, havent made it beep yet!
), has to be warm before you turn it off everytime and will need a rebuild long before an equivalent piston engine!
Port Solent is run by someone else. Their entry is something like over 500hp, classic, american of something of interest. You do see many Mercs and BMW's down there, which may be over 500hp, they certainly don't fit the other categories for me.
Bring the RX8 down to the Southsea cruise on the 3rd Sunday of the month. You dont see many of them around, Is tht the one where the rear doors can open after the front doors are open?

Havent worked out mpg but 50p a mile just on premium, very slightly better on longer runs, plus a thirst for oil and looming rebuild/spare engine (61k miles)
