ok.....not to be shown up by the Sydney owners, who in Melbourne would be interested in having a Melbourne Owners Meet?

I was thinking St Kilda Beach?

I think September is a good idea as it gives some time for more cars to arrive. Even early October?

Who would be interested in coming?

 

The next container is arriving in early November. That's when mine, and a few others here, will arrive.

 

We should get together more often later on... mine is not coming just yet!

 

:D I'm on now!

St Kilda great place to turn heads but up in the hills will be better to really have some fun with the car.

 

As long as its not this week then I will be there....


Been a long time coming, but finally pick it up this week



Get ready for some cruising boys.....

 

ok, so Simondebbie, Andy P, Myself....

Who else?

Donald are you up for it?

RicDanger, when do you take delivery?

Surly there are more proud owners in Melbourne??

 

i might be in if it fits into our family's schedule. weekends are so busy.

we went for a nice drive to mt macedon on the weekend and picked up a small stone chip on the nose. very small but annoying. it came off a car ahead on the freeway.

at least it is better than a knock on the door in at the shopping centre!

Mike I see stone chip in cars like when we wear shoe. It won't get scretched if you put in the shoe box! If you use it, you expect some wear and tear on it sooner or later.

On the other hand, the touch up paint is very handy

 

OK my plans for weekend.

Crows/collingwood Fri night

Sat night mates house warming.

Gee that leaves Sat and Sun for fun (preference for Sat as I may be a little shabby on Sun!)

Cheers

P.S. 1400 ks, 9000 rpm sure is sweet!

 

Hi,

I've been in the Gold Coast for the past 5 days.

Back to work now. I won't have much time for driving except to work and back. I'm also working this coming weekend. Dammit.

I only saw one RX-8 whilst in Surfers Paradise. It was a titanium one. I didn't catch the plate details though.

Have fun on your drive!

Donald

 

Folks,

Mine arrives the first week of Sept. Lets try for the second week if possible. The boat left Japan on Aug 7 (takes 20 days to get here) so there should be more around that week.

Its Blue with Spoiler, Stakes, Rotary emblems and a few other bits.

Suggest we set a date soon and one later in the year.

Cheers

 

are u guys looking for just a meet up? or a cruise aswell?
cuz might be able to help out with the cruise planning (although won't have my rx8 till next year )

but can offer suggestions, or come to one of our car club meets :D

 

Good to see Andy!

And go the spirit of the legendary LS1 cuises!

Cheers,
Hymee.

edit: cool - 30 posts = "member" !

 

NOVERBER!!!!!

If anyone needs me i'm hibonating until then.

Sold my s6 rx7 the day before a big cruise event in the hope that my rx8 would be here within 2 weeks. bastards!

 

Here is the date for the first meet.

I am new to this forum but it seems you need someone to set out a time. I will be there in a winning blue one even if no-one else turns up.

Saturday 20th of September 12.30 pm (midday) for either a chat and then maybe a drive about 2pm if you want to continue on. This time is before the footy and will allow for a few late arrivals.
We can work out any ongoing arrangements with each other from there.

There is a cafe on the banks of the Yarra opposite Herring Island. Mel ref 58 G1, on the extension Alexandra Ave. It has a heap of carparks and should be fairly central for everyone.

So how about it, anyone got a better haunt with a lot of car spots out the front. All responses for location by 5th September.

I can provide a mobile number at a later stage to centralise last minute contacts.

Post your reply or front up on the day with your new 8 or current ride.

See ya then.

Simon B

 

why dont you join us on the next ausrotary forum cruize. This time we're going down the great ocean road...

 

Good one.

It's Saturday 20th of September at 12.30 pm. Mine won't be run in by then but it will still be fun.

Cheers, Stoli

 

**** I am going to miss out

It is all City Mazda fault.

 

too bad, i'll be in qld for the Jamboree 2003 20-21st sep.

 

Ahhhhhhh.....

My wife just reminded me that we are away that weekend. Looks like i won't be there either unless we pick another week.

Still picking the car up tomorrow. Pics soon.

Cheers, Stoli

 

i get my car tomorrow also!!

what dealer?

 

KAS,

Penfolds in Melbourne.

Cheers, Stoli

 

Say Hi to Fig from me when you pick up your car...



Lucky b@stard!

 

OK Melb Folks,

It's time to get our act together. The Sydney people seem to have had a great day out there at windy Palm Beach. It would be great to get as many Vic 8s as we can - out on those big smooth roads and cruise.

Japfan is it still on for this Saturday? The weather is a bit **** this week and potentially into the weekend. Any chance for making it the weekend after on Sunday? Or even the Saturday or Sunday after that. It should warm up a bit by then.

Please advise. I am happy to organise if need be. Looking forward to having as many of you there as possible.

Future owners of 8s are welcome as passengers - you know who you are......

Cheers, Stoli

 

I'd prefer the 28th of Sept personally, however i'm not the majority.

The 2003 Jamboree Drags are on the 20-21st of sept in queensland which I will be attending and I do want to be here for the Melb cruise!
