Hey guys, i'm from the rx7 forums and we're having a meet at sherway gardens on October 21st it looks like we're going to have a great turnout with at least 15 rx7 guys but anyone from this forum is more than welcome to come.

If we can start a list with the people that would like to come from this forum it'd be great just to give us an idea who can show up thanks guys.

Here is the thread from the RX7club.com site.

I still didn't see a time on that thread (just skimmed thru it)

I'll prolly be there around 7:30ish

Neo
10-12-2007, 11:15 AM
It's suppose to start at 7pm.
Knowing how rotary owners can't tell time, I would assume alot of people would show up at 7:30pm.

I work till 8:30, so I probably won't be there till about 9:45ish or so.

Hopefully everyone is still around.

I will try to make it out!

It's nice to see that the RX7 & RX8 community is close knitt and consistant. I see a lot of the same names in the forum from my RX7 days a few years ago.

Hey, where in Sherway gardens exactly are we meeting? I'm not familiar with Mississauga. Can someone point out a location on a map image of the parking lot and where approx? I'd imagine the parking lot to be fairly large

Thanks QTWRE, I know where it is, but where abouts in the parking lot are you guys? the parking lot is fairly large I presume, and I've never been to these meets.

I'll try to make it out but I already have plans. I may be able to make it on the earlier portion around 8pm.

Well, according to the weather, we're suppose to get rain all week.
Looks like the meet is going to be washed out... sucks. :(

So far only Sun. is suppose to be sunny.

Since when are weather predictions accurate? :lol2:

Neo
10-15-2007, 03:57 PM
This is true. More often then not they've been correct so far.

I hope it changes as we get closer to the end of the week. But for now it doesn't look pretty.

Neo
10-16-2007, 08:22 PM
Just to keep everyone updated, the weather doesn't appear to be co-operating for the Friday night.
So pending on what the other RX-7 guys want to do, we're keeping Sun. open.

Please, everyone keep checking the RX-7 thread to see what the definitive outcome will be.

qtwre
10-16-2007, 11:20 PM
Hey, stop screwing with plans. You can't expect people to show up if they think other people won't be showing up. Set a date and stick with it.

Neo
10-17-2007, 12:02 AM
We're trying.
But as I said before, our cars are considered "collector" pieces... inclement weather is no good.
Who wants to stand out in the rain when you know it's going to be sunny on Sunday?! :p:

DarkBrew
10-17-2007, 07:47 AM
So let's get it set up for Sunday and leave it there... please

But maybe we should get this meeting started a bit earlier being a Sunday.

Yep, The people are much more comfortable for Sun. at 1pm.

Can the original poster modify the initial post to reflect the new change?

Last check Jay Leno who is a collector of fine cars has an RX-8 and Miata. Oh yes a Cosmo too. Sorry to burst your bubble.
The only thing the rx-7s are collecting is the puddle of oil on the floor as it sits around unable to move under its own power. :)

What a nice day for a meet... There were maybe 20+ RX7s and the usual number of RX8s (3). Just can't get you guys out to a meet eh? I guess some people are just about the forum.

damn, I was still stuck in traffic at 4:37pm going to SCARBERIA..... anyways good meeting you all. Thanks for the tip Darkbrew and QTWRE.


I forgot to mention... those RX8 guys in BC have BBQ's in the summer. Do people in GTA do that?

Neo
10-22-2007, 01:18 AM
Great to see everyone again. Even though there were less RX-8's out this time around.

qtwre,
Good to see some of the pics. Too bad you didn't get any shots of the F430. lol ;)
No worries, Darkbrew has a few.

Footman,
We can definitely do this. That's not a problem. We can rotate house's.
Nice ride. Good to see you've finally got yours. Don't worry about the creep. It's normal for any car that's manual tranny.

I was going to come after the F1 race but I had some pressing RX8 maintenance to get done int he driveway. By the time I was done the meet was long over.

I was thinking more of like the way the BC guys had their burnaby mountain BBQs.. maybe we can go to a park some place to have a BBQ.

10-22-2007, 01:17 PM
I'm with Rems on this one... LOL ;)

You see, the problem with public parks is they're too public! You've got families and their kids running around. You enter the park and you don't know if it's paved or gravel.

You can see why having a BBQ at someone's place would be better. :)

I live in a condo. it's impossible for me to have one :(

Neo
10-22-2007, 03:02 PM
Well then, we can't have it at your place. ;)

I'm sure there are plenty of people who wouldn't mind having their streets lined with RX-7's and RX-8's. :)

I'll hold one if enough people are interested..

Probably a good time to get in another run at the Forks of the Credit before winter arrives. I find November to be better than October for this type of drive since the wet leafs are gone from the road, the weather is drier, and it's only a couple degrees colder.

Footman
10-27-2007, 11:37 PM
I live far, but I'm up to do that cruise around the forks of the credit. I googled it, and it looks nice to do... so are we gonna do a run or what?

10-29-2007, 01:46 PM
^ the forks is way too patrolled, don't bother.

I know of roads up around my place in Halton that could make for a nice ride, we can make a side stop at the Canadian Motorsports Hall of Fame (401 near Trafalgar).

Neo
10-29-2007, 03:25 PM
Stay away from the forks! That's a total cop trap!

Thanks for the pics Darkbrew!! Good to see the F430 came out really nice... ;)

I'm up for another cruise. A final one before putting the car away. It's getting harder to drive due to the drop in temperature. Summer rubber takes awhile to heat up when the temp dips below 10C.
