View Full Version : Rx8 Sightings Thread Pete 08-22-2003, 06:07 PM I figured instead of everyone writing an individual thread for sightings.... Let it all be here. Pete 08-22-2003, 06:07 PM I saw a black Rx8 today at Bally's total fitness at the 400 and 7. Anyone on this thread. If so, come to the meet on sat 23rd at 6pm. See toronto meet thread. :) Cheers Pete Len 08-22-2003, 07:59 PM Well, let's see... I saw a silver GT 6-sp today in Ottawa. From the inside. :p Canada 08-22-2003, 10:02 PM I've seen some in the garage at the dealer's over a month ago, but hadn't seen one driving until this week. I had my first "road sighting" of an RX-8 on Monday in the Ville-Saint Laurent industrial park. It was a Titanium beauty, same color that I ordered. The driver said he'd pre-ordered in January; we didn't get a chance to talk much through our windows at a stop sign, but I'm primed to receive mine "as soon as it comes in next week" (we've all heard that one before). MyRxBad 08-25-2003, 12:47 PM I seen one on Friday (Aug 22) in Pickering, and we cruised together until Ajax. I talked to him about it (Silver GT) and then told him about the forum. :) Deep Blue 08-27-2003, 02:28 PM I still have never seen another Rx-8 other than my own in real life....but my Dad saw a yellow one on the QEW between Hamilton and Burlington last night (Aug 26) Len 08-27-2003, 02:53 PM There's a yellow one in Gatineau (Hull) Québec. I saw it in a parking lot along Blvd. St-Joseph, where there used to be a yellow Integra Type R. I guess someone upgraded. :) Quick_lude 08-27-2003, 05:27 PM I saw a yellow and a blue this past Saturday at D&B!:p f1michel 08-28-2003, 08:46 AM i'm driving to work this morning and cruising slowly at 105 kph and i look at my rear view mirror... YES, my 1st ever sighting of another RX-8 while i'm actually driving. It was a beautiful titanium 8 . Too bad the driver had to exit about a km later...was it any member of this forum? MyRxBad 08-29-2003, 10:34 AM Does the blue Rx-8 have a blue tinted plate cover on the back of it? (the one in Toronto), cuz if it does I seen it downtown last night a little after 4pm. :D RotaryJay 08-29-2003, 11:00 AM Saw a red RX-8 on wednesday at lunch on Fisher Road SE (behind Tony Roma's... near Chinook Centre).

Pete 08-29-2003, 03:30 PM Saw a blue Rx8 on Hwy 7 and Weston. We stopped and talked for a bit. Still can't get over how nice blue looks. And I saw a red RX8 on weston roadand chancellor around 1:30am anyone from here with the red rx8 wakeech 08-29-2003, 03:52 PM hi Pete: you have a PM. Quick_lude 08-29-2003, 04:50 PM Saw a red one yesterday on Hwy 10 in Brampton. Gave a wave from my Prelude.. anyone here? The red looks sharp. Canada 08-29-2003, 06:34 PM Was it on route 40? If so, it could have been me! I just got the car yesterday and it is a BLAST! Automatic notwithstanding...!

Amur_ 08-29-2003, 08:19 PM I have seen a silver one (can't tell if it's GS or GT) twice in the last two weeks here in the tri-cities. http://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=217993 f1michel 08-29-2003, 08:36 PM Canada... it was on the 440 in Laval. So you like your car?

Deep Blue 08-30-2003, 07:23 AM Originally posted by Quick_lude Saw a red one yesterday on Hwy 10 in Brampton. Gave a wave from my Prelude.. anyone here? The red looks sharp. Lude, I'm in that area for work....where exactly was it? Don't recall seeing the girl under your name driving a hot prelude though ;) Did it have a tail?

Don't recall seeing the girl under your name driving a hot prelude though ;) Did it have a tail? Hahaha! For the last time that's NOT me! :D Actually it was Thursday about 3 30pm. I was going north on 10 towards Queen, you were going south. Can't remember if I waved or gave you a thumbup. My car is silver, oem body kit, tail :D , low to the ground.

Hehe...I *kind* of figured that. Still be hot as hell to see that chick driving a souped up Prelude, you should give her a call :) Not sure that was me....I wasn't in that neck of the woods on Thurs. I'll keep an eye out for your Lude though! Canada 08-30-2003, 08:20 PM So today, my first weekend after receiving my new Titanium Gray RX-8, I take my wife, her twin sister and her husband out for a spin outside Montreal. We went to drive some scenic areas with smooth, hilly roads winding gracefully through the lakes, going in a loop from Lachute to Morin Heights to Laurel to Lost River, then back to Lachute. The ride was thoroughly enjoyable and roomy enough for all. And what did we see when we started on Route 329??? ANOTHER beautiful TITANIUM GRAY RX-8 pulling up behind us! Oncoming traffic must have thought we were going to a club meeting. After a few minutes we pulled over at the next safe opportunity and waited a bit but they didn't show up. Note: some of the roads on this trip had been repaved last year, so they were really smooth, but some were hellish! Damn those Quebec winters. The best section, if you're looking for a nice ride in the area, was along Rte. Principale between Laurel and Rt. 364. Next trip will be the Lachute - Louisa (Chemin Dunany). Deep Blue 08-31-2003, 02:03 PM Had my first RX-8 sighting today...saw a *gorgeous* blue one sitting in the parking lot of the Burlington Mall (Guelph Ln and Fairview). I don't have to guess who it belongs to...rotorian...it looked great!! I noticed a crappy tercel type car parked beside it pretty close...you should adopt my psychotic parking approach...all the way out to the farthest reaches where no one EVER parks. It is a longer walk, but you'll never see a door ding, ever. Plus you get some exercise! Wing 08-31-2003, 02:47 PM Canada, I went down to Philipsburg yesterday and through montreal (thanks again for doing the tire thing). I saw a yellow RX8 in Dorion on the way. Amur_ 08-31-2003, 08:01 PM Originally posted by afai Then again maybe its Titanium Grey. that might be me u are looking at.. do u live around tri-cities area too? I do. Does the story at the link I posted sound familiar? :) Canada 08-31-2003, 09:11 PM I haven't seen any yellow ones yet, though that must be spectacular, just a red one in the dealer's service garage and two Titanium Grays on the road. I went cruising downtown Montreal last night. Got many thumbs up, smiles and nods. Never would have goten that response in my old car, a Protege 5. One guy in a souped-up Subaru wanted to race. Number one, the speed limit was only 50 Km/hr; number two there was too much traffic, and number three my motor has not been broken in yet). So I politely declined! f1michel 08-31-2003, 10:28 PM Wise decision Canada... plus the fact that you haven't had the car long enough to know it well. 73JPS 09-01-2003, 01:27 AM I was waiting for ZoomZoom at Arizona's on Saturday night. The light was poor, but I saw an RX-8 drive slowly down a lane beside the parking lot... the car looked red, but I assumed it must ZoomZoom (his car is blue) and it was just the light playing tricks on me... not 10 seconds later Zoom showed up in his blue car. Man, we almost had three RX8's together at one time... the red one was gone before we could flag him back...

Remember you were having problems with your contacts that night. ;) afai 09-01-2003, 04:27 AM To Amur_ then why at ur info u said u live in ontario? Amur_ 09-01-2003, 08:14 AM Originally posted by afai To Amur_ then why at ur info u said u live in ontario? Is it the "tri-cities" that confuses you? That is how the area where I live is referred to. Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge are end-to-end-to-end. Your own profile doesn't give a location at all, so there was nothing to say to me that you don't live here. :) So, where do you live, then? :) broose 09-01-2003, 02:25 PM Saw a sliver 8 in the Rattray Marsh area of Mississauga. Parked in a driveway across from the lake. First one I've seen that hasn't been on a dealer lot. Belong to anyone on this forum? afai 09-01-2003, 04:27 PM hahaha the tri-cities u talking about it at the east~ the one i am tlaking about is at other side of canada ( the west side)~~ hahaha jewsol 09-04-2003, 07:16 AM i saw on tuesday night in scarborough .... a really nice looking blue on on lawrence near birchmount ...... and a silver one later that night on progress, didnt get a good look cause he drove in the opposite direction saw a red one a couple weeks back near town center, looked nice as well damn i want one f1michel 09-07-2003, 08:32 PM I saw a yellow 8 on HW 640 just north of Mtl this afternoon... anyone from here? It was very nice and the windows were quite tinted... was it stock? broose 09-07-2003, 08:37 PM I saw a red one going north on Glen Erin at Folkway in Mississauga about 6:00 Friday evening. Anyone from the forum? LiQuiDLaM 09-07-2003, 09:38 PM A friend of mine was driving in his Civic the other day and saw a yellow RX-8 here in Van! He also said he greeted you along wif a "Nice car!" liner! Any chance of you being here at this forum? westie 09-08-2003, 07:53 PM we live in Mississauga in Lorne Park and have had our tit gray GT 6 spd w/ sunroof since mid-August so maybe it us you saw in Rattray Marsh. By the way we have never seen another 8 except at the dealer. Where do all of you drive? And when is the next get together, I want to talk gas mileage, if it doesn't improve we may have to go Nissan on Oct 1. broose 09-08-2003, 07:59 PM Westie, I'm positive it was a silver one I saw at Rattray Marsh and not a tit gray. It was parked in a driveway at a house facing the lake (no house across the street blocking the view of the lake). My wife said she say a silver one also at the Clarkson GO in one of the reserved spots. Anyone here? I have not got my car yet but it just came in on Friday. Some of my accessories are backordered until Sept. 18th. I'm trying to sell my 96 Probe GT and until I do, I'm going to hold off taking possession of the 8. At least until all the accessories are installed. MyRxBad 09-11-2003, 08:54 AM Seen a red 8 last night on the 401 going home. Pulled up beside him in my 7 but he didn't look over. Anyone know him? Liscence plate said: Rx8 Zm Zm Mr. Eccentric 09-12-2003, 01:28 PM I've seen: Yellow #2 and Townline in Oshawa Silver in subdivision in Pickering Village (Ajax) Bulldog6670 09-12-2003, 08:21 PM Originally posted by Mr. Eccentric I've seen: Yellow #2 and Townline in Oshawa Silver in subdivision in Pickering Village (Ajax) Yellow would be mine. It's got tinted windows, spoiler, mud flaps, and a bulldog looking out the back window at you. Only other ones I know of in the Durham region are Ron Jeremy's black one, and a red one that's getting dressed up by the owner of the Whitby Mazda dealership. Quick_lude 09-17-2003, 04:14 PM Saw a blue today on Dundas just west of Erin Mills this morning.. broose 09-17-2003, 06:38 PM Saw a red one today northbound on Appleby Line at Hwy. 5 in Burlington at 5:30 p.m. I tried to get his attention but he didn't look over. Anyone on the forum? Pete 10-01-2003, 10:58 AM Saw 73JPS on the road last night at 10pm. 73JPS's car was spotless. As for mine...... I'm waxing it today :) 73JPS 10-01-2003, 02:13 PM Damn, man...

We need to put together another meet before the white stuff hits. radarguy 10-01-2003, 06:25 PM I thought I saw a black one with a spoiler racing down Franklin Blvd. in Cambridge on the weekend. Can't be sure though too far/ too fast. I was driving a Titanium one. I am in the KW area. westie 10-03-2003, 05:01 PM why don't we put together a meet before some of us have to give our cars back (within the next two weeks). :( Weekends best for me. How about Dave & Buster's again? Bulldog6670 10-03-2003, 05:02 PM Jasper is going to be in Toronto on the 8th. Is this a possible date for a get-together? westie 10-03-2003, 05:11 PM that's a WED, might be OK, but following weekend (I know it's Thanksgiving) better, perhaps FRI OCT 10 Is that the only day you are in TO?

Asian fellow. :) Deep Blue 10-05-2003, 09:02 PM First RX-8 sighting for me! Saw a yellow one, no tail, with dark tint on 3rd Line in Oakville, just getting on the highway. Wanted to give chase, but had a time sensitive appointment. LiQuiDLaM 10-06-2003, 12:39 AM saw my 2nd tit.grey RX-8 today @ ummm Garden City, Lansdowne area! Jasper_the_2nd 10-06-2003, 08:56 AM Drove almost 1500 km yesterday (N.S. to Ottawa), didn't see a single 8 :( Saw an S2000, a 911, 2 boxters, some beemers, a jag, and a bunch of mercedes, but no 8s. Where was everybody? :D Wing 10-06-2003, 09:25 AM Mine is in the garage, welcome to Ottawa Jasper! danger 10-07-2003, 04:03 AM hwy 99 heading towards surrey from richmond i saw a winning blue rx8! saw it in the rearview and was like "wtf? what car is that?" Then she came up beside me and i saw blue, and then the tails came by and i saw 8! OOOOOOOOOWEEEEEE she was looking sweet Wing 10-07-2003, 07:27 AM Hey jasper richmond is less than 5 minutes from my home LOL, I drove a co-workers C5 yesterday and he drove my RX8, went up to richmond and around back to my house.

Pretty sure it was Wing's, since it was in his driveway...:D broose 10-08-2003, 05:21 PM Saw a titanium 8 on Neyagawa heading south between Burnamthorpe and Hwy 5 in Oakville just before 5:30 this afternoon.

Can't be sure though too far/ too fast. I was driving a Titanium one. I am in the KW area. Have you seen my post(s) earlier in the thread (and especially the link to rx7club.com) about your 8? :) I've since seen it a third time, on Ottawa at River two weeks ago. I honked, but I was in a cube van so I don't think the driver (a blonde lady) realized that the beeping was for her... :) North Waterloo Mazda's only RX-8 was a black GS, which they sold back in August to a 63 year old gentleman (so they said.) I don't recall (and don't have the info) if the GS has a spoiler. Maybe this was the guy... ? Anyway, welcome to the rotary neighbourhood. :D MyRxBad 10-09-2003, 09:03 AM I seen Bulldog last night making a right onto Wilson! Nice to see the yellow agian. Jasper_the_2nd 10-12-2003, 06:38 AM I finally saw an 8 driving. Yesterday, between Quebec City and Montreal, a red one heading towards Montreal on the 20. About 11:35 am, 145 km south of Quebec City. Anyone from here? Wing 10-12-2003, 08:52 AM Oh that could be Canada or f1michel! Cwsmith 10-14-2003, 12:27 PM I just saw my first last night, about 9:15PM Oct 13. The Titanium was just passing Prescott. Followed it for a while, dreaming of when mine will come in. Note: I LOVE the tail lights. Canada 10-22-2003, 07:47 PM Mine's titanium, so Jasper's sighting wasn't me. I did see a red one a couple of times on Blvd Gouin in Ville St-Laurent & Cartierville (Montreal) - it looked great!!! I can't tell you the number of thumbs up and compliments my car has garnered. Several rolled down their window & asked how much it cost. When I told one guy I paid $200 for it and the rest ($38,000) was paid for me as a company car, he said "I want to work for that company!". Here are some of the descriptors I've heard when my RX-8 was sighted by non-RX-8 owners: nice cool beautiful wicked Jeezuss! Deep Blue 10-22-2003, 08:34 PM Saw a Titanium 8 in Burlington....had out of town plates (London?). Was in the Power Center, in front of Curzons. No options on the car...but looked great. Amur_ 10-24-2003, 04:55 AM And I saw another. :) Lightning Yellow, Wednesday morning at 11:15am in Waterloo. Southbound on Weber going towards University. It was a corner-of-my-eye thing, so I didn't see the driver... This is the first time I've seen a Lightning Yellow 8 around here. :) Pete 10-24-2003, 10:23 PM saw a red off of weston road on Thursday around 8:00pm .... anyone here ? radarguy 10-27-2003, 07:01 PM Saw a silver one (first time I have seen another while driving my titanium) going north on hwy 24 in cambridge as I was coming off the 401. (Oct 26th) It looked good. The Keiswetter dealer has a yellow one with all the upgrades as a demo but I've never seen it. They are selling a lot of them so we'll see more soon. Amur_ no blonde ladies have ever driven my 8 so it must have been someone else. Pete 10-28-2003, 06:24 PM i've seen evey colour besides mine (yellow) :( Roadrunner 10-30-2003, 03:04 PM Originally posted by Deep Blue Saw a Titanium 8 in Burlington....had out of town plates (London?).

Nice 8! ;) Getting some accessories? Roadrunner 10-31-2003, 08:26 AM Deep Blue I don't think I have seen your Red, unless it was the demo unit at Burlington Mazda. Do you have any options? My RX8 will be stored soon, over the winter I would like to order: - Rotary Emblems (after macket when available) - Strikes (hopefullly after marketb) - Exhaust Finishers - Front Mud Guards - Rear Mud Guards or Deflectors, not sure Deep Blue 10-31-2003, 09:52 AM Hi Roadrunner, Yeah, I was one of the first to take delivery in Burlington (along with rotorian)...mine came in the same time as Scott's at Burl Mazda. I've got just about all of the exterior accessories on mine: -Front Aero Spoiler -Front Mud Flaps -Rear Deflector -Side Deflector -Rear Spoiler -Front Rotary Accent -Rear Rotary Accent -Exhaust Finishers (which aren't worth buying btw, you can't even see them) I'm also about to store my 8, and will likely pick up some strakes over the winter. Hope you're enjoying your 8...see you out on the streets! 73JPS 11-03-2003, 01:03 AM Saw a Titanium GT in Victoria B.C. on Saturday afternoon. Is anybody here from Victoria?

Three Ti Grey Four Winning Blue Two Black One Silver (the only one not "new", and is obviously the 'demo' car). All are GT models. Three have Nav. All are 6 speeds.

Then saw a Red one on 16th at the 404, heading west... Anybody from here?? Amur_ 04-25-2004, 04:32 PM Saw a few this past week. :) First one was last Sunday, the 18th, in Waterloo. A titanium grey 8 was waiting to turn onto University from the bottom of the expressway off-ramp. There were sheets of paper taped to the windshield and it looked like there were 2 or 3 people in there. I honked and waved and I think the driver spotted me just after I passed him. I've seen the 2nd one twice. Lightning yellow, driver was wearing glasses and appeared to be asian (damn hard to tell with the door's tint being so dark.) Saw him Monday and then again Thursday on the same route, so I'm pretty sure this is his to-work route; up the expressway and then across Bridgeport... Third one was yesterday at Square One. Titanium grey, he was at the first lights on Rathburn Road just off Hurontario, a few cars back from the front. I was turning off of Rathburn and was too far away to honk or anything. :) pot8r 04-25-2004, 10:03 PM Saw another VR at Natural Sound (or Bojangles). Anyone from the board? gowgow 04-26-2004, 12:46 PM Saw REd one on Major Mackenzie passed Yonge heading West on Saturday around noon 1_dollar_83_rx7 04-26-2004, 09:21 PM To Amur_ Hey, I'm the guy with the yellow RX-8, that drives from Cambridge to Waterloo everyday. I bought my car at Guelph City Mazda and picked it up on April 17. I got a bunch of free stuff for the car including free spoiler, free tinted windows, and free air outlet garnishes (silver thingies on the side) You are correct, I am asian and I wear glasses. You got good eyes. Amur_ 04-28-2004, 04:43 AM Thanks. Congrats on bagging all the free goodies for the car. You must drive a hard bargain. :) And I forogt to mention the plastic Guelph plate surround, didn't I? See ya around town. :) broose 04-28-2004, 07:55 AM Saw a red one with some extras park at the Reimer building at Burloak & QEW in Burlington/Oakville yesterday. Anyone on here? Pete 05-05-2004, 11:59 AM I'm seeing the rx8's everywhere... I guess we're doing our part in making the roads more beautiful MyRxBad 05-06-2004, 11:00 AM Still haven't seen a yellow one on the road (well this year anyways) Seen my share of blues ones on the hwy and the black one I seen last week is drving by an older gentlemen (50-60ish) Doug 05-06-2004, 02:16 PM I must say, I was very disappointed!! Driving to Work on HWY 403 just before Hurontario travelling East and I saw a silver 8. I tried to get his attention, but he ignorred me. Oh well!! doug Deep Blue 05-06-2004, 02:24 PM It might be because your 8 is "Viscosity Red" :) Amur_ 05-09-2004, 04:09 PM Saw another one yesterday (Saturday) in Kitchener at 5pm. Velocity Red. Followed him from Victoria Street onto the expressway and then down to the #8 interchange. The thing was, he was 3 cars ahead of me going down the on ramp, I was blocked from advancing by a pickup, and by the time I got through that he was out of sight. :( A 150 km/h jog and I did catch up, but the 8 was already entering the interchange... Next time! ;) Neo 05-09-2004, 10:14 PM I had the pleasure of seeing Krazy8's black 8 out and about last night. Too bad it was dirty.. ;) Unfortunately I wasn't in my 7. I would have showed him up when we came up to the Yonge exit off of Hwy7. He had that 8 going pretty quick after the light turned green. Luckily he slowed down. That's a pretty dangerous place to get the car up to speed. Cops hide around that corner all the time. Nobody can see the pigs just before the downhill.... :) I lost him after we entered Dudebridge. I was hoping he would stop at the Tim/Wendy's hangout.... but alas.... I wonder where all the people have gone nowadays... All the popular spots are deserted.... :( Later, P.S. Next time I'll be in the 7.... Put Krazy8 in his place... ;) MyRxBad 05-10-2004, 08:20 AM Neo: I almost called you Friday night to hit the spots. I was itchin' to take the 8 out that night... But I got tired and called it a night... Saint75 05-10-2004, 03:15 PM If you don't mind me asking what "spots" do you guys chill ? would be nice to meet up with some of ya's..

During this trip i always see a yellow 8 on the other side of the highway. I went to my parents house in Etob last friday (june 4th) and seen 2 black Rx-8's on the Lakeshore (I was actually in my red one at the time.) Maybe it was you. It was around 4:30-5pm Amur_ 06-12-2004, 09:46 PM Two Fridays -- Two 8s. :) June 4th, heading into Toronto on the 401 from Kitchener. I was coming up on the 407 interchange when I realized that there was something familiar about the car I was passing. A Winning Blue 8. I didn't catch the plate, but when I got ahead of him I hit the hazards for a few seconds before jumping onto the 407 eastbound... Last night. After finishing installing new fuel lines in my 7 I hit the road for home at 11pm. As I entered Breslau (small village east of Kitchener) a tit grey 8 appeared at the next crossroad ahead of me (Menno St.) I was shocked - Breslau's not the place you'd expect to find an 8, if only because most of the streets are pretty ratty. He pulled out behind me (damn, those lamps are bright) and we went out and onto the 17 into Kitchener. There was traffic around us and I was a little nervous about things popping apart on my new lines, so I didn't try to play much. The driver and I looked at each other as we parted ways at Lackner... Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Amur_ 07-06-2004, 05:38 PM "Escorted" a silver 8 on my way home from Ottawa Monday. On the 401, westbound, from Campbellville to Guelph. Driver either didn't realize I was in a 7 or didn't care. :( You guys shouldn't be allowed to buy the 8 until you can prove that you know what the prior generations look like! ;) In case he's reading this - do you recognize this car? :p ;) http://img14.exs.cx/img14/5752/g42.jpg apaul 07-06-2004, 05:57 PM Sighted a V Red on Steeles Ave., westbound, just east of Yonge Mon. July 5. He was on my left. Red light. I have seen so few I was excited and waved. He ignored and gunned it on the green. Nice warm feeling. Thanks, Buddy! Inconsequential 07-06-2004, 06:39 PM Man, out here in Van, I saw 2 silvers, and one titanium in the last few days, and all of them either smiled and nodded, said hi when side by side, or waved, so, it seems like a lot of fellowship out here :) Deep Blue 07-06-2004, 09:44 PM Got a nice surprise when I went to hop in my car in the Home Depot parking lot in Burlington....and a nice silver 8 was parked beside my Red 8. I left the car a note to come visit this site....post if you read this! MrJynx 07-07-2004, 09:48 AM few days ago saw a yellow 8 on lakeshore in the morning (around 8:15am). Then yesterday say a blue on the gardiner around 8:15am again. The cool thing is both times the driver honked or waved. But i still get surprised when I see how nice the car is from the outside! :) MrJynx halfon 07-07-2004, 01:20 PM This morning I saw a black RX-8 on Upper Middle road in Burlington. apaul 07-08-2004, 12:54 PM Is it a fake? Doesn't appear to be a standard Photoshop Special FX hoax.. Sighting between Timmins and Chapleau, N. Ontario. Deep Blue 07-08-2004, 01:43 PM Ummmm....this is the RX-8 sightings thread, not the Moose-Llama Hybrid sightings thread..... :S apaul 07-08-2004, 02:04 PM You're right, Deep Blue. It is silly and inappropriate . ..Who cares? Right? I will delete it tonite. HiTMaNN 07-08-2004, 02:37 PM what is it tho it looks scary!

If this was taken between Chapleau and Timmins, how did the driver get such a clear picture and hold an open beer?? You gotta be from the north to get it. Deep Blue 07-08-2004, 02:52 PM I was kidding by the way...I'm no forum nazi :) no need to delete :P Rand8 07-08-2004, 06:55 PM Hey Amur you live by ottawa westmount area? Think i might have seen you at Strausburg and ottawa light i was driving my silver 8 home from work and was just admiring the 7 that pulled beside me apaul 07-08-2004, 07:19 PM Or the Polar Bear in Cochrane?..Right on, Steve067. I drive 'down north' to Timmins every summer to my in-laws' cottage. It was a blast in the Miata. Now I'm really looking forward to my first drive in the RX8. in August No sightings: 401 W Whitby to Bayview Ave. (3:00 pm) and return (7:30 pm) .:( [Just a yellow Mitsu Lancer who wanted to dice, which I, of course, responsibly declined. Then a gunmetal grey Z4 at Brock Rd. ...] :) OOh, my, we do attract attention! Steveo67 07-09-2004, 07:53 AM apaul, It's a beatiful drive once you're north of North Bay...Miata would have been fun, but the 8 should be an absolute blast!

I get that same feeling everytime i see one. apaul 07-10-2004, 03:20 PM Woo hoo ! Better than a sighting. As I was rolling out of a Tim's parking lot on Vic Park this morning, a Ti RX8 from Gyro Mazda was coming in. We both had to stop because of congestion. I called over to the driver, an Asian fellow. "Nice car! Are you a member of the Rx8 Club? Looking friendly but undertandably puzzled, he shrugged, "What club?" [On second thought, I don't blame him]. And so I told him. He said he'd definitely be checking us out.. Amur_ 07-10-2004, 07:53 PM Hey Amur you live by ottawa westmount area? Think i might have seen you at Strausburg and ottawa light i was driving my silver 8 home from work and was just admiring the 7 that pulled beside me I'm actually close to the downtown core (shudder.) But I'm through Ottawa and Strasburg several times a week, usually late in the evening. If the 7 was worth admiring, she probably wasn't mine. :) I've spent most of this year under the hood, so the paint has been neglected and is in poor shape all around (note attached pic in previous reply - that car was RED when it left the factory.) :( Other ways to tell if its mine: - AMUR G2 license plate - your eyes are watering and you can't breathe :D Jordan2 07-10-2004, 10:39 PM I saw a black rx8 in the parking lot of the baymac center on the corner of bayview and major mac.....I actually parked my Ti Gray next to it to step in to a store for a few mins, but when I got back, the car was still there, so I doubt anyone noticed. I also saw a blue one in the village gate plaza at bayview and weldrick. I've also seen that mmtoasty 8 around Richmond Hill at least 4 or 5 times now. Jordan HEVNSNT 07-10-2004, 11:44 PM Waterloo siting: Saw a blond chic in a blue 8 at corner of king and university.

Tuesday july, 13th... at about 10 pm. cubakid 07-17-2004, 06:50 PM Saw a blue one at McCown and Major MacKenzie in Markham today. (First time my "Raquel" has actually driven by a relative!) Past sightings.... Black RX-8 at Fallingbrook and Kingston Road in Toronto (1 month ago) Red RX-8 mid May at Yonge and Dundas in Toronto Yellow RX-8 early May in Old Montreal Feel like a kid again, what with the "zoom zoom" of driving her and the fun of looking for others like her (kind of like the "punch buggy" VW bug game when I was young.) Amur_ 07-19-2004, 05:10 PM Saw a red one this afternoon at 2:40pm. He/she was northbound on highway 24 just coming out of Cambridge. Hit the horn twice (I was in a dump truck at the time :D .) WHO 07-24-2004, 04:42 PM Hey Amur_ ;) I see a lot here in the downtown Montreal core. It's just harder to get their attention in my brother's red MX-6. It does have a loud exhaust though :p Whenever I'm in my FD RX-7 I get attention easier, but never spot RX-8s... or even other RX-7s for that matter! Amur_ 07-26-2004, 04:26 PM Well then, how about one in the boonies? :) We paved the parking lot of a factory in the megatropolis of New Hamburg, outside Kitchener. As we're puttering along, I watched a blue 8 come and go throughout the day from a house directly across the street. At the end of the day, I ran across the road to say Hi. Turns out it belongs to a lurker here - forgot the handle he told me. Nice guy though. So there's at least one sighting (for me) with a distinctly happy ending. :bigthumb: apaul 07-26-2004, 05:48 PM Weird: I've been told by 2 fairly reliable, independent sources that I have been sighted in the eastern reaches of Toronto, on two occasions. Under advanced interrogation procedures, I admitted, "Sure, I was there. So?" Moral: Damned hard to be anonymous in a Yellow. :) MyRxBad 07-30-2004, 08:18 AM Seen a Titanium Rx-8 last night around 6pm heading west between Pickering & Scar.

Rotary Titus 08-31-2004, 06:41 PM Passed a Black 8 on 41st Ave (both of us westbound) just west of W Boulevard, he/she was stopped waiting for a car parallel parking. Looked like they stalled as well, I saw their lights go off, then come back on similar to how they do when you restart. could be they pulled the handbrake? our headlights go off if you pull the handbrake speaking of which, they come in handy tailing creeps.... there was this guy with a light blue last gen MPV (147 EEL plate if you see him in your neighbourhood)driving slowly through my neighbourhood's backlanes a week ago, and to make it less obvious I was tailing him, I pulled my handbrake slightly (before it engages, but shuts off my day time running lamps). Took him 10 mins before he realise I was tailing him and took off onto king edward... ÜberJumper 08-31-2004, 10:07 PM Well... I doubt they'd put the parking brake on when they were in the middle of a lane, then suddenly switch it off. They weren't parking at all, just got stuck in the curb lane waiting for someone to pull into a slot. hobbes 09-01-2004, 10:07 AM Saw a silver one last night, (yeah an other one on the same day, what are the chances?)

So I make the right and travel north on Leslie hoping to catch up with him, and wouldn't you know it, he made a U-Ee and we go blarring by eachother again.
