Today I picked up my new car and traded in my Puma
I hated leaving him there at the garage, not knowing where he would end up boohoo
I love the new car to bits, apart from the fact its got a drink problem
boy is it thirsty , but i didnt buy it for economy..if so i'd be driving a Nissan Micra and then you'd have to shoot me
anyways...I'm not leaving, I'm sticking around cos I'll always be a Pumagirl at heart

Ah, that must be hard. I remember when picking this one up, the old owner looked like he was going to run down the road after it. Felt bad. It will probably go to a good home though.
What's the thirsty replacement?

[Sue]

Just bought a red Mazda RX8..drop dead gorgeous but already has a drink problem lol
My Puma had better go to a good home, or i'll reclaim him

Is that oil or petrol it's drinking? :rotflmao:



:sorry: They're really nice cars actually, hope you enjoy it. :wink:

[Sue]

Just petrol at the moment, the oil thirst hasnt been noticed yet lol
Could have something to do with a heavy right foot

write out one hundred times 'I must not floor it' !!!
:rotflmao:

[CLIVE]

wow
you go girl what is it like..................... :rock:

[Sue]

Stunning to look at (but not as pretty as a Puma)
goes like poo off a shovel (and mine is the 'slow' one ...or so I keep telling my Mum )
very very comfortable to drive, lovely red leather heated seats to toast my bum on a cold winters morning, lots of little gadgets and gizmos...but i'll really miss my heated front screen
and very very thirsty.....i'm only on my first tank so can't comment yet
but i think I love it already

[BOK]

End of an era Sue :cry:

Best of luck with the new car.

Very nice - well if you squint it looks like the puma!!!

Thanks Colin, 7 years and 3 Pumas later, I suppose the end has to come somewhere, it wasnt an easy decision, as I really do love my Pumas. :cry:

and yes I suppose if you squint hard enough it could possibly look like a Puma......one in a bad mood about to pounce

I drove a guy at works new RX8 (225bhp)... yayeeeeeeeeee that shifts!

Was very impressed with it. Do you have to pinch yourself to stop watching the rev counter instead of the road? It's quite a novalty watching the needle fly up to 10,000!!! :rotflmao:

Go have some fun.

[boywonder]

Oh yeah forgot to mention ... what a cooooooooooooooooool turning circle! hehe

[Sue]

Only picked it up yesterday afternoon so havent had a chance to play yet.
have test driven both variants before deciding on one...and it is fun...but unlike the Puma it comes at a price

I wasnt watching the rev counter...i was watching the petrol guage drop....rapidly !!!!
:shock:

hehehe
i'm off out to wash him and take some piccies, as he looks like he's been rallying now cos of the bad weather on the trip home

[Sue]

Sue,

What about another house party to celebrate your new car ;-)

Cool what a brill idea...you can all come to his christening party !!!
:rotflmao:

[Sue]

trust you to think of that !!!!
LOL

[Sue]

thinking about it...what it possible in a Puma is highly unlikely in an RX8 ....believe me !!!
Have you seen the interior? :roll:

on 2nd thoughts lock this thread NOW Lol

Just petrol at the moment, the oil thirst hasnt been noticed yet lol

Remember somewhere in the owners manual it says check your oil level EVERY 500 miles or if your engine goes bang because its run out of oil then its not covered on warrenty, one of the things that put me off buying the RX-8. HTH
