I wanted to know what a good day for all of us to meet was. I'm game for any time after work (5p.m.) during the weekday and whenever during the weekend.

So far I know of myrx8, Rotar_Dude, Mrs. SHOWOFF & myself in the K.C. area. If I left anyone out please reply and we'll get a meeting going somewhere we all agree on.

I've seen a yellow and have wave to a fellow RX-8er (Red) on my way to work one morning. Let me know if that was any of you out there.

I also posted pix of my car on the forum, here's the link....

When I was goping down to the Plaza Art fair on Friday, some guy and his wife were driving a silver rx8. It was this first time I have seen another RX8.

How about Next Monday around 6 in the evening when everyone gets off of work. I'll be at both sides of town so it doesn't matter where, just let me know if that day is good for everyone and then we can agree on a place.

lol, looks like it will just be the two of us. I'm actually going to drop my car off of Sunflower Mazda for an oil change Monday morning and hope they'll be done by lunch time but if not, i'll be picking it up after work. so we can meet somewhere near there.

I live in Blue Springs. Here's my e-mail address so you can e-mail me your # or i can e-mail you mine..... mtablante@hotmail.com. Should we pospone it until we can get others to meet?

WHERE ARE YOU OTHER KC RX-8 OWNERS?!?!?!

I usually go to the KCIR on wednesday for racing.

Haven't been out there for a while.

Please keep me informed of your tuning. I want to see what results you get before I start playing around.

Sorry for the no-show on Oct. 19, i didn't think anyone would show up since no one replied.

Let's all meet SHERIDAN'S FROZEN CUSTARD'S PARKING LOT ON NOLAND AND 70 HIGHWAY on Oct. 24 (this Friday) @ 7p.m. I will for sure be there, with or without people replying.

But if you know you are going to come, please post a reply as soon as you can so i know to look for you. Looking forward to hearing from you all soon.

Dick Carlson
10-19-2003, 08:28 PM
Well, bollocks, I should have stopped. Saw the red Miata, didn't connect with Hugo. And Hugo, you're a regular here, eh?

How many show for the Starbuck's Thursday night gatherings?

10-19-2003, 08:48 PM
Who is going to Starbucks? I was going to last Thrusday, but with all the rain, I did a no show.

Dick Carlson
10-20-2003, 07:05 PM
Heck, put me down for Thursday night. Reckon I can venture over into Johnson County.

I'll be at Sheridan's Friday at 7pm, the only rotary I got is a couple of Wankel books and an RX-8 ballcap.

Oh hell, I forgot we've got out of town guests and a concert to attend Friday. I'm going to have to pass on Friday night. As Emile Latelle used to say, "Never mind."

SHOWOFF
10-23-2003, 01:34 PM
Tonight around 7:30 at Starbucks off of 119th and Metcalf across from Sprint, I'll be there as always, hopefully my other car will be there too, damned body shops

Ooops, I saw this post too late or we would've made it out to Noland. Yeah, my car club...GroupOne gets together every Thursday around 7:30ish at Starbucks off 119th (and Metcalf-ish). Even if you don't see an 8 - just stop by (we may be driving the Eclipse or the 8...or both). Everyone is nice there. Hope to meet some more 8's soon. So far the only ones that have met are me, my husband, and Mark...right?
My husband has to work this Saturday. As long as I can remember we will try to stop by sometime. Oh yeah, I already posted this in the other KC post, but there is a charity car show in Shawnee. Check this website for details: www.groupone.org in the events section.

It appears that it is a failed seal in the front of the right rotor. There have been a number of others, can't say how many. I took it in with 923 miles on it, it had been leaving small amounts of a green fluid on my garage floor since shortly after I got it. The good news is they are replacing my engine before something major happens - the bad news is I've been without it for over two :(
