04-30-2011, 09:21 PM
I didn't take a count, but I think there were 8 RX-8's. I meet RearDriveNinja who I was parked by. Most of the other 8's were spread out through the parking lot, and I didn't end up meeting everyone.

It was a good meet though and Griots was a great place!

n8v-8
04-30-2011, 10:05 PM
That was my first car meet ever.. And I got a bad parkin spot near the front entrance away from all the other 8s, and never got a chance to talk to any other 8 owners :( , but I gotta ask what is with the purple rims?

FazdaRX_8
04-30-2011, 11:32 PM
I meet,

anibalrx8 I seen everywhere, NOS and griots, lol the car shined up really well!!!!!!
reardriveninja, I talk to quite a bit
l8tr, I seen you but I didn't formally introduce myself, sorry about that, the name is Branden, I had the camera :)

n8v-8, yeah the parking for you wasn't great, you should have snuck in when some of the cars where moving!!!

another guy with the 8 said he didn't go to this site but did the rx7club.com
bumblebee was there aka lorotor

I have pictures I will post after a few edits and uploads!!!

I hope to see everyone again at the Levenworth meet in June, SeanJ the director is going to see if corksport can come out, and perhaps even NOS!!!
