Phil mate, "serial buyer of NSU R080s"? Has nobody told you yet rotary engines in cars don't work?  ;-)
 
Ya cheeky sod ;-) they do for me, i drive a ro80 abroad every year, been down to italy the last two, never had any trouble! and i think you'll find most rx8 owners find they work too :-)
Re. Jonathan Wakeley, is he the same Jon Wakeley whom (i think) used to write for some old computer magazines? (Gets all misty eyed thinking of old ZX Spectrums & CBM64s...sniff)
 
Don't think so, he posts on here every so often.
