DGRR 2007 Pics (http://s167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/FoxyRoxy_8/?action=view&slideshow=true)
Hope to see all of you again soon - maybe BOTD??
mrthundercleese 04-23-2007, 07:59 AM Very nice photos Roxy! I'm going to try to make the BOTD but with my wedding the very next month the likelihood is slim. There is still a possibility though. I'll post up my photos tonight :)
Rx8honey 04-23-2007, 08:30 AM Very nice photos, Roxy. It was nice meeting you guys. Your car is absolutely beautiful.... I love that shinka. :wiggle:
BlueflameFE 04-23-2007, 09:09 AM Roxy, Bobby, and Honey it was nice meeting you all. I loved your 8s. I hate it's over, :-((.
Rx8honey 04-23-2007, 09:13 AM I know.... I had to come home. Boo!
I didn't get to hang with you guys much. I'll Def be at BOTD.
mrthundercleese 04-23-2007, 10:12 AM It was great meeting you all as well. I was pleasantly surprised with how many 8s came out this year.
Yeah, being home and at work sucks. City driving FTL :lol:.
This BOTD will be the best yet!!! Hope everyone can make it out...I heard registartion may open in the middle of next month!
BlueflameFE 04-23-2007, 10:52 AM We've made our reservations, poolside cabana this time. I'm counting the days....... Thanks Honey, I'm sure we'll all hang out more for the 5 days of BOTD!
rddragoness 04-23-2007, 11:05 AM Hi All, Had a fabulous time! Kudo's for all he awesome photo's from Roxy and her "pit crew". ;)
It was so great being able to put faces to the names I have come to recognize and enjoy talking too! It felt so good to be able to enjoy the warm hospitality of good company, and share in the love of a GREAT ride!
BlueflameFE 04-23-2007, 11:28 AM Bobby, I still think you need to do your wedding at BOTD!
XDEEDUBBX 04-23-2007, 11:30 AM cool pics
diabolical1 04-23-2007, 12:31 PM what's BOTD?
BlueflameFE 04-23-2007, 12:56 PM Brotherhood of the dragon. RX-8 rally at Deal's Gap in September. Look at the events list.
mrthundercleese 04-23-2007, 02:08 PM Bobby, I still think you need to do your wedding at BOTD!If you can convince Jill then i'm all for it hahaha. Wedding on the dragon (WOTD)!
rddragoness 04-23-2007, 02:54 PM ^^^^ Bobby, My son is getting married, in September of 08, and I have already suggested Fontana Village for their honeymoon since they love the mountains.
Why NOT a wedding? You really aren't that far away!
mrthundercleese 04-23-2007, 03:19 PM It would be rather appropriate actually. Jill and I's first vacation together before we actually started dating was to the 05 BOTD. So we have some history there.
She's bent on going somewhere the hasn't been before (had an argument about honeymoon locations on the way home yesterday actually hahaha).
Feras 04-23-2007, 03:43 PM If you can convince Jill then i'm all for it hahaha. Wedding on the dragon (WOTD)!
ooh you should rent the wedding mansiion we used for the first BOTD back in 04. That mansion rocked, we couldnt break into the limo though.
mrthundercleese 04-23-2007, 04:12 PM Actually, even more hilarious is that She looked at the mansion when she was looking at wedding locations. I tried to convince her to go for it but it failed. I wasn't convincing enough I guess haha.
Heres my DGRR gallery, its in the middle of uploading as we speak, there are 200+ photos, so be patient, lots of them are on the way there, or the way back, with the respective caravans or just scenic. Enjoy!

Awww. I wish I had thought more about it when yall said you were going to Maryville, I spent a year in High school there, and would have loved to go with you, but my brain was fried from the first Dragon run.

ONOFIVEO 04-24-2007, 09:00 AM Home sweet home. It was gr8 seeing and meeting you all. Roxy, Whitey, Honey... those are some gr8 looking 8s with some very tasteful mods. I'd trade with either of you any day.
Rx8honey 04-24-2007, 10:29 AM Mrthunder: Great pic of us running. ROFL
ONOFIVEO: I'll see you again at BOTD. Don't you dare get rid of red. :wiggle:
lol, no one was arrested. The TN cop was pretty cool and decided to give a photo op. Great pictures guys! I will try and get mine up soon. Work is very busy today.
Chris great site! Looks awesome!
mrthundercleese 04-24-2007, 11:31 AM ^^ Yeah, I know. I just wanted to start some rumors :lol:.
Mrthunder: Great pic of us running. ROFLCouldn't pass up the opportunity :).
Rx8honey 04-24-2007, 01:07 PM :P :wavey:
BlueflameFE 04-24-2007, 01:39 PM Well, here are some of my fav's. I borrowed some from the 7 site and from Roxy, hope that's ok.

I am glad we didn't trip over each other.
Herblenny 04-24-2007, 08:09 PM Enjoyed meeting some of you 8 owners! Hope some of you will attend next year's event.
^You know what's funny to me about the sign above, the fact that I know that I am the one with my ass hanging out the driver side door when this was taken. Thank goodness we were wearing red shirts that day! Also not to mention the Chevy in the middle of no where. Kind of like spotting Waldo out of all the 7s & 8s. :D
Okay sorry this took me so long. Thanks Foxy for the photo bucket idea. Here are the pictures Mike and I took:
http://s166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/J2R_RX8/?action=view&slideshow=true
Oh, you'll love this Chris and Foxy. After this weekend Mike is strongly considering buying an 8 as well. I took him he should find a Shinka for me and we will trade! :P However I still love my VR. :D
The pictures are up on www.killboy.com, I am seeing some good pics of Foxy & Suprvln
Herblenny 04-26-2007, 10:25 AM Killboy took some GREAT pics!
Please, support him by purchasing some of the pics!
mrthundercleese 04-26-2007, 11:53 AM Killboy took some GREAT pics!
Please, support him by purchasing some of the pics!
I plan to get one or two this year. 3 years and no killboy photos yet... that's preposterous! :lol:
I just ordered the big 24x36 gloss, with text ($51). On page 9, with FoxyRoxy and I going around one of the turns. They said it would be about 2-3 weeks. Gonna be a great picture for the living room! :D
BlueflameFE 04-26-2007, 01:51 PM I ordered 8 on CD, they made my car look awesome. I'll put them on my photobucket too.
Nemesis8 04-26-2007, 01:55 PM Reservoir level was way down.
mrthundercleese 04-26-2007, 02:37 PM ^^ Yep, I'm assuming thats typical for this time of year based on the fact that the last two years it has been at about that level. I've only ever seen it high the one time I went to the BOTD two years ago in september.
Last year it was low enough that my fiancee and I walked to what typically is an island in the middle of the water and took photos.
BlueflameFE 04-26-2007, 03:47 PM Here's my killboy photos if anyone wants to see. He caught me over the double yellow. Yikes!
http://s177.photobucket.com/albums/w205/Blue_flame_04/Dragon%20photos/
Mike is all over the yellow as well:
http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/AlbumSlideshow.aspx?a=377542
BlueflameFE 04-26-2007, 04:01 PM I'm sure that was a spot with visibility.......... yea, that's the ticket........visibility.
^ Yeah, I hope so. It just dosen't look good! :D
There was a silver evo, that was WAY over the line. So don't feel bad. :Eyecrazy:
BlueflameFE 04-26-2007, 04:31 PM I had a blue mustang convertible that i thought was gonna wipe out and take me out!
OMG... That Chevy whatever almost killed us on the Sky Way! Scared the living crap out of us. Didn't we get that on camera? The yellow line is important! :D
Herblenny 04-26-2007, 04:58 PM Here is my favorite pic... from last year (I didn't get to ride the Dragon this year... I'm very SAD!!)
I'm planning to get this pic for my living room.
http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/OrderPage.aspx?pi=04RK0060090853&po=853&c=
^ Nice! I really like that!
http://www.photoreflect.com/PR3/OrderPage.aspx?pi=04RK009M001018&po=1018&c=&a=377542
For my own personal fav ^. Right on that white line. :)
mrthundercleese 04-26-2007, 05:23 PM I eat white lines for Breakfast! I'm the JUGGERNAUT! :lol:

BlueflameFE 04-26-2007, 05:30 PM Phil,
Man that sucks you didn't get to drive this year.
Dude you suffered so we all could enjoy.
We owe you!
Thanks for your work!
BlueflameFE 04-26-2007, 05:32 PM Bobby, it looks like your head was stuck between the seat and door on that last one. I can't sit that low........
Cool pix tho!
mrthundercleese 04-26-2007, 05:49 PM Actually there is a story behind that one... I was bored :lol:. At the time I was trying to get to the gravel pit by 4 but was stuck behind this really slow red grand am that wouldn't pull off... this was after being stuck behind this Lincoln town car that was even slower. So, I was crusing basically and laying on the door at the time of the photo haha.
BTW, thats a sweet RX2 project you have going on there!
BlueflameFE 04-26-2007, 05:52 PM Thanks, I hope it turns out well! I've got a poll as to what color to paint it. Still up in the air.
Herblenny 04-26-2007, 06:36 PM Phil,

When someone complains about what I should of done, what I shouldn't of done, I wished

I'm trying to lock in a date as we speak and trying to do something different.
PHIL

Herblenny 04-27-2007, 04:24 PM Thanks Jessica! And thanks for coming out! Some of the 7 owners I know in DC/VA will be coming down next year.. so there might be a caravan!
Luckily for next year, I have a good rotary friend who's going to help! IT should be better than this year! I'll ask him to post some details later on...
