New Rotary Club In Wichita Kansas
#27
dude...
I dont really care for eating, i can eat anytime of the day, i wanna cruise around and take pics of all the cars together, and park somewhere where there's a lot of traffic, i mean if we"re starting this club we want to show it off right? how about some club stickers??

i hear you on the eating thing. we don't have to do that if nobody wants to. i was just throwing out ideas for a first meet, and the idea of a meal was just for meet and greet... so we could talk/get acquainted and such.
if we actually get this club going, a club vinyl somewhere down the line might be a pretty a cool idea - something we could discuss
i agree with rotarypower that we should hold off on our first meet until some of this nasty weather clears up. that way we could have our 8's nice and clean and get some group photos as well. plus, that might give mxdeb's rx-8 time to get fixed
looks like we've got at least four (potentially five including rotarypower's friend) commited members so far... let's keep the members and ideas coming and maybe try to set a date for our first meet?? ideas on that?

LOL Thanks Rotary REVolution! I want to get her cleaned up! Hubby bought me a ton of Maguires for my b-day. I want to give her a good bath and clay and wax. That is IF they get her up and running properly. Today they finally changed one of the coils and the plug wire(s). They are keeping it to run some more tests. Hoping they check this site out, I keep telling them to.
Can't wait to see you guys' cars! It would be cool to have group pix. I would put a club sticker on...wonder if we can find a mutually acceptable color!?

i'm sure we could come up with some cool designs/colors for a group logo. seems like most people are in agreeance on waiting to meet until there is better weather. shall we pick the location and just leave the time and date tba for now?

yeah, that's a good point. so maybe the first thing we should do is see who is definitely in on this and planning to attend - basically get a member list going.
i stole this from the vegas lounge. it'd be nice for everyone to fill it out so we can compile them and see where we are at, or if you want, you can just send me your information, and i can fill them out/compile them.
here's mine:

Gentlemen, good luck on your club. If you wish to get a message board going you can use phpbb. It's free, but you will have to do a little setup work. That's what we (evolvchicago) are using at the moment until we have the funds to use vbulletin. We are also incorporated as a not for profit organization. I don't know if there are any other rotary organizations in your area, but you may not want to limit it to RX8's. Consider including the RX7's too. While EvolvChicago is a rotary club, we allow all Mazda cars to be involved in the club. This makes the club more appealing to the dealerships.
All the Directors of our club are rotary owners.

Took my 8 to Mazda after Carmax got done messing with it. They replaced 2 motor mounts, reflashed it to MSP?16 and replaced the cat. WOW I liked it before but now I LOVE this car. Can a car get more aggressive?! It's quieter, less vibe and more powerful in all gears but especially in the lower gears/RPM's!!! I am betting the MPG's will be a lot better too, have not run a full tank but the gage is already reporting good news. Guys at Davis Moore Mazda were top rate and friendly to boot!

I think it might be towards the end of March or begging of April until it warms up a bit and this winter weather moves out. Pretty sure as long as it's a weekend my friend will be able to join with his RX-8.

glad to hear that you finally got your 8 back mxdeb! hopefully you can actually drive it for a while this time lol.
and yeah, it's still pretty cool, but at least the snow/ice is cleared up. we'll just have to wait and see.
i will update my first post here (2nd post of the thread) with our members. i will put them in order of who posted on the thread first. thanks for filling those out! i think it will help to get things going once we know who all's here

so why dont we decide who"s gonna take care of the setup, who we are gonna give our numbers to and contacts us about info, and when we"re gonna do this, its supposed to snow this week but im sure the weekend after will be fine, lets just do it already, btw, getting paint off rims is a bitch, now i have to buy a new one cause the idiot that i paid to paint them in the first place decided to sand one of the rims with i dont know but it scratched the crap out of it, so to anybody who's thinking about getting ur wheels painted, dont do it.

OK, so things are heating up for us, horse show season starts April 10 so we will be busy but for sure want to meet with other 8 owners! What about the Warren Theater East parking lot? Would they let us use the overflow area? Or if we wanted more attention Walmart East parking lot out by the Burger King? Or for that matter the Sportsman's Warehouse is empty now. I am sure we could go there without being in anyone's way??? Not sure where everyone lives. Maybe somewhere more west? It would be cool if we could use the Mazda lot but I don't know anyone there. Going to be there tomorrow for rear tires and touch up on the paint... maybe could ask if you guys are in? By the way what time would we be meeting? 12? 1? 2?

i guess it wouldnt' hurt to go ahead and talk to somebody at mazda about it while you're there, but i kind of think somwhere more public than that might be better just in hopes that maybe some local 8 owners (unaware of this group and website... there are obviously a bunch) would happen to see us and maybe even stop by to see what's going on ^_^ i'd be fine with any of the places you mentioned. and same for the times... pretty much anytime around noon or after would be good.
