Mr. Ed's rx-8 01-05-2005, 07:02 PM ok ok...but i won't be there now so it officially will suck!
jenkins-crew 01-05-2005, 07:55 PM awww man, now who are we going to follow out there???????
dazygirl415 01-05-2005, 09:23 PM Whatever!!! You picked DALLAS has a halfway point between FW and you guys. You're from that side of town--of course it's easy for YOU to find!!!
jenkins-crew 01-05-2005, 09:28 PM I guess I will be the leader!!!!!!!!
Mr. Ed's rx-8 01-05-2005, 09:41 PM its really not that hard to find. just head east on 635 and exit macarthur...stayon the access road and the cheddars will be right there after the light.
jenkins-crew 01-05-2005, 09:52 PM Mapquest has me going 183 to 161 and becomes bush turnpike and exit at McAurthur.
racer 13b 01-05-2005, 10:15 PM Mapquest has me going 183 to 161 and becomes bush turnpike and exit at McAurthur.
that will work also. just make sure to head north on (left onto) McAurthur, and its about two lights on the right hand side.
dazygirl415 01-05-2005, 11:08 PM I took that way going there but had to pay a portion toll. I took 121 south on the way home and didn't pay anything. Can we take 121 to 635 there?
Mr. Ed's rx-8 01-06-2005, 12:16 AM yeah thats why i said that way...no toll. but yes you can take 121 to 635, like you're heading out to grapevine mills. just follow the signs that say 635. the 183 to 161 way is a little faster though. all a matter of preference. i know i have a enough loose change around my seats to pay the toll but i'm cheap!
Mr. Ed's rx-8 01-06-2005, 06:04 PM hell yeah!!! i'm off work saturday night now so i will be going for sure!!! do all the plans still stand as they were? i'm gonna get the car all prettied up. i'll see if steve wants to meet up with us in his 3 rotor. he might be out and about but i'll call him and see!
feels so good to be off work!
jenkins-crew 01-06-2005, 07:11 PM Nope, sorry we cancelled the whole thing because you weren't going to be there, everyone was too devistated......
jenkins-crew 01-06-2005, 07:12 PM J/k... :d :d :d
Mr. Ed's rx-8 01-06-2005, 07:14 PM NOOOOOO!!!
j/k...didn't know i carried so much sway on what people do! :D
Mr. Ed's rx-8 01-06-2005, 07:16 PM so is everyone still going?
jenkins-crew 01-06-2005, 07:21 PM yeah we are all still going....remember, DEDICATION!

jenkins-crew 01-08-2005, 05:26 PM I'll be there!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Ed's rx-8 01-08-2005, 07:04 PM yeah it hasn't been painted yet. thats jut the bumper he had laying around the shop to throw on there. he plans on getting it all painted lambo yellow...something like that.
but it seems to be running pretty smoothly though.
irish8 01-08-2005, 07:16 PM See you all in less than 2 hours!! Can't wait!!
- Irish :cool:
jkrueger 01-09-2005, 12:04 AM What bad day to forget my digital camera! We had around 25 cars show up for our meet tonight!!! It was a good mix of cars to show up with represenatives from every generation from the first gens to the RX-8's. We also had Erik's mazdaspeed Miata, a Mustang, and I even saw a Porsche. I was particularly impressed with the good showing of some very nicely prepped and modded 3rd gens! Some of the other highlights were Steve Kahn's 3 rotor 3rd gen (with a warped apex seal :( ), a 3rd gen with Z06 engine conversion (professional looking job on it), a 10th aniv. 2nd gen, and a mint looking black 1st gen.
I guess the Ft Worth Caravan ran into a little trouble from the fuz. One of the cars got pulled over for illegal headlights???? The cops must of been bored tonight. It seems like they ought to be out chasing down criminals instead of hasseling people about thier headlights.
I left at about 9pm and there were still 20 or so cars around. It looked like everybody had a good time and we saw some new faces as well. I saw a couple of people with cameras, so if your pics came out good, post them up here for everyone to see.
See ya all next month,
JC

Hey Mr. Ed...I told you we meet up at RackDaddy's in south fort worth every Tues night around 8...so if your not workin or spinnin come on down. :D
Mr. Ed's rx-8 01-12-2005, 06:01 PM i might have to make it out next tuesday...i hit up my local pool hall usually every tuesday night mainly because its free for me and close by. i'm not a pool shark :D ...i just like to play every now and then!!! and i keep my stick in my car just in case! ;)
i'm gonna start working more nights for a while casue the money is better, but i will still be out and about. the 8 might be down for a while getting some tranny work redone...still trying to get everything figured out.
jenkins-crew 01-12-2005, 06:15 PM Cool...its free for us too, with a college ID, but anybody is welcome to come hangout on tuesdays. It always alot of fun and we get to see each others cars more often :D :D :D
Slims8 01-13-2005, 05:29 PM I've been over to BellBottoms a couple of times... it's over there by Rack Daddy's I think. I gotta a cousin that lives over there and we usually meet once a week to shoot pool. Let me know next time ya'll are going.

Slims8 01-13-2005, 11:17 PM I live in Carrollton, but I'm pretty sure I'll make it. It would be nice to see some other rides.
dazygirl415 01-13-2005, 11:18 PM I may be there... I kicked some room mate booty last time and she may want a rematch. :)
Mr. Ed's rx-8 01-14-2005, 02:25 AM i 'll be sure to leave my stick in the car unless i really start loosing!!! then watch out casue i'm busting Bessie out of her case!!!
