Did you consider the front ones? I think they look really sharp. (Obviously I have them). Even the Dunlop commercial showing the Red RX8 ripping on the highways and byways has the front ones on.

Man, your always doing something sharp to your car. Now I have to make every effort to come out and see your wheels. However, its baseball playoffs for my youngest son and if they keep winning, there will be a game that night. I'll try my best. Let me know how late you intend to stay.

Helas, you gotta give me more credit than that! I may be old, but not that old!

When I said "wheels" I wasn't talkng about your actual "wheels" as in rims and tires. The term"your wheels" refers to your "your car". Or maybe you'll understand better if I said "your ride". If I wanted to talk about your wheels, I would have said "tires" and/or "rims".

Looking forward to joining the Mini Meets at D&B whenever I can - won't be this week as I'll be in Montreal. What's the usual time you guys meet?

Cheers

Welcome. The mini meets are every Thursday night and start around 8PM or so. Some arrive sooner and some arrive later.

Just one piece of advice: If you see this guy with a red RX7 or a Mazda 3 that goes by the name Neo and has the look in his eye that he'll do anything to become a RX8 owner, he's gonna recognize that you are new and try to hustle a few bucks off you. He likes to call it "initiation fee". Don't pay him a dime! He's a RX8 wannabe and has not received membership status yet to our exclusive group.

Just kidding! Neo's a top notch guy but his RX7 is just surprisingly slow, that's all. We welcome him anyway.

Its a good time. Enjoy. Welcome to the cult.

Thanks - I hope to make the next meet. How many 8's show up on average?

The car rocks! This is my first rotary and I love it - especially the 9 grand redline. Gotta love it - beep. Now if only the gas prices would come back down....or I get the doctor to remove the lead from my foot. hahaha

I think he had more moisture on his fore head from sweat then there was i the air. I think his '7 is made completely out of paper-mashe and if it gets wet it will melt:D

So it's a tag team effort, huh?? It's amazing how jealous some people can get...

Rain is horrible!! Period!! It ruins the cars finish and then you have to break your back cleaning her up again... I can't afford to do that... So she remains clean and rain free at all given times!!

It's a good thing I swapped the cars out... It did rain, and the ground was still wet when we left Sam and Pete's!!

What's with all the smack talk about 7's being slow??? Everyone knows the 8's are the slowest of the rotary family... It's essentially a family car!! LOL!!! :D

Once you've had the taste of boost... you never go back!!!!

Lates,

And it's a damn fine 'family car' if I say so myself Neo

I may not have boost but I do have a booster seat in the back :D hahaha

In fact, just this morning my son asked to make the 'red thing' go up.....he was referring to the tach needle. He gets a kick out of the zoom-zoom :p

I see a future race star one day, who knows?!?!?

Lates,

OK OK OK. I want boost like you!! Jeez, did ya have to flush out the truth so friggin early? I'm jealous of the 7. There ya happy?

However, I still think maxing out at 148 miles per hour with 4 guys in the car (RX8) is a lot more fun than going 135 miles per hour with 2 guys in the car and a 6 gallons of rad fluid spread about the cabin (RX7).
