I was walking to the bus from the gym and saw a brilliant blue stock (seemingly from exterior looks) rx8 parked on speedway between 24th and 21st. Was this anyone here?

Also, any other 8 owners go to UT Austin?

That's a good idea. Unfortunately I don't happen to have pen and paper on me 100% of the time unless I'm walking between classes.

maybe the forum owner could start a group buy thread on buisness cards. Or we could not be cheap and just order 100 of them with directions to this site?

You're willing to carry around 100 business cards with a website address on it? Might as well bring a backpack for all of em, which you could have kept your pen and paper in originally.

Saucy, come on now... Considering the number of 8s around town, perhaps 10 or fifteen at a time. You wouldn't want some dude thinking that you have something in your pocket for him!

There's a road called Lime Creek near Volente that a guy named Brandon on here showed my this weekend that's perfect for us 8's. If you're down, PM me and we'll set something up.

SpencerM1
09-20-2010, 05:41 PM
Right on, I know that road. This week is bad but next week should be ok. How about we save the Lime Creek kind of thing for a Saturday morning. Keep the week day quick meet to some location around UT. Sound good?

I'm just glad that the gunman didn't take anyone with him, even though he easily could have.

Nah, never actually been inside big bites. I don't think I meet the necessary weight requirement to eat there

I live off far west and hart, we we're kind of in the same general area. My only problem is that I don't have a phone right now so it might be hard to make it happen if this is our only source of communication

Yo, brandon send me a text. I have a new phone but no numbers. Still the same number 5125074189. Spencer, you can text me too if you want to figure out what to do to meet up.

you guys could come out to Mangia's on Mesa/Spicewood in a few weeks, every 4th Tuesday we all meet there, would be nice to have some more 8's in the mix. We had 11 cars at the Rudy's show over the weekend, it was pretty awesome. :)

Canary, you should meet up with us each Saturday night at the Cedar Park meet at 1431 and 183.

Are going to meet tonight, Saturday night, or on the Tuesday the 26th?

If it's tonight, lets to a quick 30 min meet and greet @ 7 then try to get together Saturday night?


Meeting place for tonight, Post Office parking lot on Far West Blvd.


Canary, I will most likely come out on the 26th and will be on time...

I can't make it tonight man, I have a job interview to prepare for and some homework to finish up. I'll definitely be at the Mangias though

I'll have the car at the next club meeting for sure, not sure about making the cedar park gig but we'll see, my magazine feature fell through so I'll be driving the car a lot more now, there's no reason not too with no photoshoot pending :D:

yep, this coming Tuesday it's on, I'll also be in pflugerville Saturday at a car show, probably going to "rolling sculpture" Sunday at the Hill Country Galleria too. There's a website that does a good job tracking local car gigs at:

www.motoraustin.com

Sunday's show details here: http://www.rollingsculpturecarshow.com/

Hope to see some folks either Tuesday or this weekend :D:

Damn, I wish I didn't have a term paper to write today which is due tomorrow....

See you guys Tuesday night.

Saucy, you coming?

10-25-2010, 07:58 PM
I'm definitely going tomorrow, just trying to decide whether to drive to work in the car or come home and get it and then go, probably just going to drive it and go straight to Mangia's after work unless I see some crap weather in the forecast or something :)

Sorry guys, I haven't been on lately since I got a new job last Thursday. I'm working like 12 to 8 and I dont get home until like 830 or 9. Looks like I'm not making it tonight, but I can try to go to a meet somewhere this Saturday just not sure as to which one

Great meet Randal! Totally not what I expected to find which is a good thing. A lot of car clubs turn to be a bit more To Fast To Gangsta kind of trend rather than people with similar cars helping each other out. I'm sold!

Saucy, this weekend is bad but I totally want to meet up next Saturday if possible. Maybe we can get Randal/Canary to show as well as Warren and Brandon?

Have a good weekend guys and watch out for eggs! Damn kids are evil sometimes.

haven't viewed this thread in a while, anyone doing anything tomorrow? if not it's cool, I was thinking I might take the car out for a spin, hit a few redlines etc :D: I need to clean it up a bit (a lot really, last car show as outdoors, rainy, then mega windy/dusty, car looks clean from a distance then.....yikes lol) and try and figure out my airbag light, who knows, if I can get the light to go away I may even try and get it inspected this wekk. (doh!)

please be careful when on lime creek, been there done that almost crashed a couple times.

get in, get out, leave in 3-4 runs before the resident call the cops on you. please have the leader drive slow, don't push too hard or someone will come out without a car. (i am not kidding)

totally agree, I haven't been in a while, but every time I go I only drive it to 1431 and back or I just take 1431 to 183 etc. to go home or some equivalent, there are some nasty turns on that road and a LOT of blind corners, it's even more terrifying at night.

Fun road but with the bikers wizzing by and dumb drivers it makes for bad situation.

last time I went out I kept running across cyclists, I'm all for riding a bicycle and all but I'll never get these people who feel the need to challenge cars with them.
