Again, thanks to Berny (Prez of SoCal RXClub, orange shirt on left) and Dave Lemon from Mazdatrix for coming out and supporting. (Dave has lots of interesting RX-8 products soon to be released). Too bad we had no red or black ones attend. TribalAzn showed up in his Titanium(left of Berny). You can smell the coatings burning off the cars in the parking lot, and it's a great smell! We attracted many people wondering what the heck is that sexy car?

Berny/Dan help yourself to any pics.

MaRX8 · 07-19-2003, 05:06 PM

Yeah, but it looks like Texas is represented.

by someone's shirt... Hmm interesting mostly yellow, blue, but not one Titanium Gray..

It's not our Fault we haven't gotten our "Bleepin" cars..

Two Scoops for our intrepid reporter, Toadman! first pics of a US owners meet and also First pics of strakes on a US car!

Great pics toady! did tribal get teh stain out of his seat?

Mazdatrix · 07-19-2003, 05:54 PM

So that's why Toadman left early !! So he could be first to post pictures!

More pictures of the "gathering" at: http://www.mazdatrix.com/8tustin.htm

Toadman · 07-19-2003, 06:12 PM

Damn straight! Had to beat Eccles, IBFUBAR, and the other Texas bubbas. :D
The pic of TribalAzn's titanium came out blurry but here it is anyhow with sharpening. It is verrry sweet in person! The silver one left before we could compare the colors.

Nice pics, Dave!

Well there would have been a black one there if my car had arrived at the dealership this week like it was supposed to! grrrrr!

This past week has been torture!

It was great seeing all the blue ones there and great seeing the yellow and nordic green in person for the first time! All of the colors looked very nice!

I thought I'd post another pic of the green since we haven't seen too many of them yet (hope you don't mind, DisneyDestroyer

)

It was nice meeting Gary from the SoCal RX-7 club. Sorry I didn't get to meet you while you were there, Toadman!

lefuton · 07-19-2003, 06:15 PM

holy crap that was fast! i just got home, mine was the yellow with strakes w/o aero kit

Toadman · 07-19-2003, 06:34 PM

Nick(DisneyDestroyer) hadn't had a chance to wash his Nordic Green yet. Remnants from Hurricane Claudette made a mess of his car in San Diego. Nordic Green is really sweet, almost like a Montego Blue FD. I'd like to see it at sunset/sunrise.

Not to start an East coast/West coast thing, but didn't some folks in Florida have an RX8 meet last week?

Puppy1 · 07-19-2003, 06:43 PM

Great job guys. This weekend I am in Vegas for a friends wedding, so I wasn't able to attend. Besides my car is still in Hueneme. The cars look great. I was surpised by all the blue and yellow, especially when it seemed everyone was ordering silver, titanium and red.

Toadman · 07-19-2003, 06:43 PM

Show us a dated group pic Sputnik, and we'll concede victory to Florida owners. :D

tribal azn2 · 07-19-2003, 07:09 PM

THE FIRST EVAR USA RX8 MEET!!!!!!!!

westside, the best side!!!!!!!!

btw, i was really suprised by the amount of old timers.

*edit* What are you trying to say, Tribal?

Consider yourself very lucky you can afford a 30k+ car at your age. Gotta love that gorgeous titanium! Enjoy the paint/fabric protector you got sucked into buying, also. :D -jk- -TM

lefuton · 07-19-2003, 08:18 PM

old timers? teehee

EAST MOON · 07-19-2003, 08:30 PM

Congratulations new US owners !!

Great and beautiful pics !!
I feel, The sky and the sun in the US show blue more beautifully than Japan.

BTW I can attach nothing to the front window of a car by the Stxxxd Japanese law. :D

thanks
EAST MOON

wow so many blues. i thought for sure the titanium grey would be the prevalent color.

Zoom49 · 07-19-2003, 11:26 PM

Great to see and finally meet many of the people i have
been typing to these past six months. We are all so excited
to finally get and enjoy our RX-8's. I'm sure we will be seeing
each other again soon,

Zoom49 · 07-19-2003, 11:29 PM

In your neighborhood. Tustin.

will there be an announcement on the next meet?

I will be glad to represent another Rx8 to the community.

Toadman · 07-20-2003, 10:10 AM

Aug 16 is the Annual SoCal RX Club BBQ at Bolsa Chica State Beach, then of course, Sevenstock6 in late September.

LOL

Sorry I missed it. I was surprised by the single TiGray. I was under the impression a couple of months ago that everyone was getting gray. I'd also like some comments on the green car there. I've still not seen it in person. AND I've still not seen another one on the road yet...I must be cruising in the wrong neighborhoods.
