First Sydney RX-8 Owners Meet

Okay ladies and gents with exceptionally good taste in cars,

How about we plan an owners rendezvous for the first week of September. By then we will have completed the run-in of our cars and they will be SO much more fun to drive.

I'm open to suggestions of where to meet and what time. Maybe we can get some suggestions and then I'll set up a poll ?

I'll put my suggestion in : Picnic lunch at Palm Beach, Northern Beaches

P.D.U

P.D.U. Sounds like a plan. I am part of the MX-5 club and it is great fun having a few cars in convoy. Count me and the girls(wife and baby Anna) in for a Sydney meet.

So how about you other Sydney owners ?

aus rx8 , msydd ?

Do you fancy a trip up to beautiful Palmy ? It'd be Titanium RX-8 in his Titanium, aus rx8 in a Brilliant Black, msydd in a Winning Blue, and me in a Velocity Red. How cool would it be to see these cars in convoy !!

I'll be up in the Gosford area either next weekend or the weekend after, so I could be keen if you're doing it around then.

No, no RX-8 owners meet allowed til September. I am picking up my car third week of August. :D

Another option, have all the meet you guys want in August, but lock your cars in your garage at the end of August for at least two weeks. Less RX8 on the road. pleaseee!!:p :p :p :p :p

Count me and my wife in aswell. Be nice to see other RX8s on the road. Ive had the week off and just been driving around but I'm yet to see another on the road.
A Sunday would be good as my wife works Saturdays. ( Someone has to pay for my toy:D)

Hands up so far....

Okay,

This is looking very promising. So far we have the following owners (including soon-to-be owners) keen to meet :

P.D.U
Titanium RX-8
aus rx8
msydd
pepe
rossy
RX844
Winning

I think we should stick to a September date to give everyone a good chance of actually taking delivery of their vehicles and to get used to driving it. Definately a Sunday as this is usually the most convenient for most people.

Pepe, as you live in Canberra, it may be a bit difficult for you unless you're up here already or specifically want to make the trip.

P.D.U

I agree with the September plan... suggest we try to lock in a date.

The first 2 sundays in Sept are the 7 and 14. I've got a lunch thing on the 7th so would prefer the 14th... how's everyone else fixed ?

14th of September is ok with me. At least we all should have time to run in the engines by then.
Ray.
