Just what the title says, anyone on here from this area?

My parents live in Eddy and my mom works at the Temple VA so I am up that way often. Let me know if you guys have a meet on a weekend.

I hope so. I see a LOT of 8s around , but im not sure how many are on here.

I'm in Cove, just down the road from you.

Oh man I live in Killeen, but don't have the 8 anymore if you guys have a meet can I come? I miss my 8.

I'm from Cove, lived there until I joined the AF. I haven't been back in a while...I will be heading home for a couple weeks in Jan...maybe we can get a group together and go for a drive or something?

That sounds good. We should definately get something going.

Yea, Id like to if we can get some more people.

Plus it would be funny to see if any of you guys are the ones that come out of nowhere, darting up behind me like you want to race, or just impress me or something.:banghead:

Sounds like a plan...I plan on being in town around 18th. It would be cool to get a few more people out. Did they every build that Hooters they were talking about in Killeen? We could always have a gathering there! I'm sure the girls there are mostly dependants and army wives...haha!

Oh man, maybe we could hit up the Austin crew...don't they have regular meets?

Wow, if you havn't been here since before the Hooters was built, you probably won't even recognize Killeen or Harker Heights at all now. A lot has changed.

As for the Austin crew, the TexasRxs are having their monthly meet on the 7th of Jan and an overnight tour on the 24 and 25. Nothing else on their calander as of yet. their site is here (http://texasrxs.org)

HAHA, haven't been back there since '05. My parents still live in Cove, they try and keep me up to date. I guess the big thing there now is the Cracker Barrel in Harker Heights. I really can't wait to get back! What part of town do you live in Gecko? I'm from S 23rd near the high school.

They just opened that Cracker Barrel along with a Cheddars and a Chipotle. They even moved the Target and Old Navy from Killeen into the same shopping center in Heights. It's going crazy around here lately, especially in Heights.

I've been here since '98 and have lived in Killeen, Harker Heights and mostly Cove. My first house in Cove was on S 25th st. I live about half a mile in form the Walmart now. Did you go to school here? If so when did you graduate? I ask cuz my wife grew up here.

I'm in killeen, there is way too many 8's on post. I drive a titaniun gray 04, full body kit, kansas plates. If you 8 is the black one on the pic, I seen it driving around.

Yeah Gecko, that's cool...I grew up in Cove and graduated in '97. I moved away in '98 for the AF and am currently stationed in NC.

Can't wait to get back, it's been too long. Hopefully we can get this meet together...

I8U - you have PM

So we are looking at sometime in Jan about the 18th. What sounds good to everyone? Hooters has been mentioned. Any other ideas?

Jan 18 sounds good...it is a Sunday so, let's try for an early afternoon meet. I will be in town until the 29th, but I'm making a trip down to south TX around the 23rd or so...I hope more will show other than myself and Dan.

I don't think there has ever had a successful meet in Killeen. :Eyecrazy:


.........but if you guys follow through I'll show up if its in December

Larry (topdownbackroads) must have been slackin' on the club site, he always has that stuff posted :D: I'd love to see more people from out of town show up, the hill country roads are frickin' sweet, and the Johnson city lights are the bomb diggity as far as Christmas lights go. There's some info on that here: http://www.johnsoncitytexaschamber.com/ :)

I8U will not be in town until Jan 18th, but if you guys want to get something going for December lets hear the ideas. I'm game. Or we could tag along with Austin like canaryrx8 pointed out.

I was actually referring to the club's January calendar only. Now that you point it out though, the drive in December sounds pretty sweet.

Yeah man, you guys don't wait up for me. I'm just glad I'll be able to hang a round a few rotorheads when come to visit since, I will be missing my clubs first meet of the year while I'm home on leave.

ooops, I thought you meant December, my bad :lol:

the Christmas run is fun man, the roads are a hoot and there's cool places to stop along the way :)

I'm up for a meet, I live in harker heights, anything after 5pm is fine since i dont get off work till then. Email me and intrepidarmada@icqmail.com if anyone wants to start something weekly or something.

I'm up for a meet anytime before january as well. I have no life, drink beer, play video games, shoot my rifles, go to bed, repeat.

HAHA, sounds like the life of an Army grunt. As for me I'll still be in town around the 18th of Jan...

Guess we need to start a date before january, its a little far off yet.

Well, I'm in San Angelo. Got stationed here at Goodfellow back in 04, now seperated but still working on the base. I'm not too far from that area.

^Yeah that's not too far, I used to be stationed at Dyess so, I know the drives not too bad.

So are we setting up a meet?

You guys are making me miss my 8, goodluck with the meet.

Solution: Go buy a new one....NOW! :)

Come join in anyway. The 8 brought you here, but not having one anymore doesn't mean you have to go away.



So when and where should we do this then? How about sometime on Saturday December 20th? Maybe during the day, something like lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings in Killeen, then see what spawns from that? If we get a few positives then we should probably start a new thread on this too.

Dan

I'm in, weekends are the best for me.

Im down for next weekend. Hell, Im down for this weekend!

I guess I'll start up a new thread for next weekend. Here's the link. (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=162493) As for this weekend, you have anything in mind?

I added a time if you guys would like to add to the other thread dedicated to the meet next week just for verification. Link to meet thread (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=162493)

So, the 18th at 3:30? Sounds good to me. I should be in town by then...21 hr drive from NC, should put me there late Sat night. See you guys then.

Oh, just some insight on having meets twice a month...don't do it. My group did this for just over a year and it started strong but soon just became the same 5 people showing up. We have since started holding them once a month and varying the location also, we through in some road trips and go for drives. We are very lucky to have Virginia International Raceway on our door step so, we make every opportunity to visit the track and watch as many races as we can. Just a thought for you guys, coming from a 180 member group from a across the state. NCRotaries.com if you guys get a chance to check it out.

Just bringing this over from the other thread...trying help out a bit.

I know this is an old post but I moved back to killeen from colorado springs. I've seen around killeen. There was a red 8 driving around my street, it looked really low. Do you guys still cruise through Rancier?

So this thread is like 3 weeks old, anyone still planning for the meet on th 18th of jan? I just bought my '05 8 and am looking for a rotary club in the area.

Actually the thread started 11-04-2008, (this is page 2). The Jan 18 meet was in 2009, as in last year. Feel free to start one up though, just make sure to start a new thread, so it doesn't get lost in here.

The Killeen RX8 meets have pretty much died down. As for Rancier, I really don't know. The last I heard there was still some action over there on the weekends.

My 8 will be back on the road here in like 2 weeks just gotta get outta iraq and install all the parts that ive had sitting in my gargage since i was deployed if anyone wants to get together and get a club going let me know ill be down for the ride Yahoo Messanger : Spyder6625 hit me up and lets get some things going

Hey guys, I realize this is an older thread but I just got back from deployment and thought I'd check in.

First off, I've sold my 8. I honestly got tired of it breaking, and then fighting with Mazda dealers over warranty coverage. You don't even want to know what I'm driving now LOL

Also, I'll be selling any leftover parts I have here in classifieds. Factory body parts, OEM wheels, OEM airbox, downpipe, gauges etc. we'll see what turns out after I go garage diving.

There are TONS of 8s in the area now! If you can get them on here, you guys could probably put together a nice sized meet.

Take care,

Joe

^YOU take care :rock:

me and my girlfriend was trying to find some more 8s for a meet around the area im the loud wwp one and she is the loud VR one she got the idea to make up some fliers and put them out on any 8 she sees around the area linking us all here so i know i see alot of 8s in the area lets set up some stuff, with show season starting up in like 2 weeks its going to be hard pressed time for me to get both our cars finished for it. but its always good to relax and shoot the shit with others tho feel free to shoot a email to tyrantkill@tmail.com if interested in setting up a play date any time soon

Hey TyrantKill, is your girlfriend a tall blonde? I saw a VR that was loud when I was at the Killeen water office paying my bill. I guess that was hers after she walked in a few minutes after i saw the car.

dont know how old this thread is.. but i'm at dyess!

It's pretty old. There hasn't been much in the lines of meets or anything else for that matter around there in a while. That and Dyess AFB is about 4 hours from the Killeen/Ft Hood area. You'd be better off finding some guys local or heading over to the DFW area. DFW stays pretty active and it's closer to you.

Hey Rotorheads!
Let's get a Killeen/Fort Hood 8 CLUB going!! I know there's a plethora of 8's on FT HOOD, because I see them everyday driving in and around post.

If your interested in getting together shoot me an email on here or to watolles@hotmail.com. Let the Rotors Spin!!

See you soon Rotorheads!!:naughty:

Later,

TrickyTolles

PS:
