I would be happy to move it to Sunday 28th September.

I think this should be our last date change though, lets get it on!

Is the same venue OK with everyone for that Sunday at 12.30 MD.

 

PLEASE have fun... if you are meeting out in NOV... then count me in...!

My car in production 29 Sept... when do you think I will have my car

 

err, my car isnt exactly coming anymore..

It was taken apart and sent back to mazda. long story. tell you's all when the ordeal is over.

 

I will go on what ever day is organised.

 

Thanks Japfan. The 28th it is at 12:30pm.

to confirm the location again...
At the 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 far, we have confirmed
Japfan, Stoli, Wizza.

Simondebbie and Andy P are you still able to make it? Please confirm.

Is there anyone else with an 8 in Melbourne that can make it?

Cheers, Stoli

 

I'll bring Malibu Stacey along and just droool.....

 

Good to here Ricdanger.

Anyone else who has another Mazda and wants to come and have a look should come to. Those who have ordered etc, come have a sticky-beek.

KAS - Still come, you deserve to join us with what your going through!!

 

Should be in, am currently in Sth Africa working and will be back for the weekend. Need to confirm with "she who must be obeyed" prior to decision as I've been away for a while.

Cheers

 

Hey Wizza,

I'll be there mate. And if it so be's that I have to drive the hire car, i assure you there will be a great burnout show followed by a handbrake display!

 

just wanting to know when is the next melbourne meet up?

 

Let me run in my car... I just got it today!!! :D

 

so how's it running then - what - now 10 days old?

++dez;

ps: run the thing in by driving up to Sydney to catch up with a few of us in NSW perhaps!?

pps: perhaps after xmas we should arrange a nattional "fly in" somewhere on the east coast?

 

++dez...

10 days old. Very nice... 800km now

First time running up to the red-line finding the beep near the red line is not very loud . I think it can be adjusted right? I will ask when I go for my first service.

 

actually, I too noticed during my test drive of the RX8 that the beep appeard a little too quiet.

but in time I've come to be able to discern it over any other noise ( like 10,000 screaming rpm's ) and I'm kinda glad it's not too loud as it would prolly become a bit anoying.

you see I tend to hear it a bit * grin * infact I even got my first oil can light yesterday! wahoo!

fantastic to hear that otherwise it's running well - 800k is a pretty good effort, but I think you can do better * grin *

take Enrie Dingo's advice - I do..

"Go on.. Get out there! See Awswalia!"

hee hee.

++dez;

 

I know a little birdie who can hear the beeper even with his racing helmet on.

 

Racing helmet? I'm assuming that's not on the road ?

Hmm.. * adds racing helmet to xmas wish list *

Them's dam fine hearing ears you got there Hymee!

I'll give you a couple of hints...

• This is a public forum, so you wont find an offical admision of "track work" - although the brochure the dealer gave me mentions this a "use " use of the car.
• I have just happened to drive the car down this very straight length of road that happened to have a set of lights at one end, and I had to slow down after about 400 meters.
• There happened to be someone who had set up a timing system.

But no - I have not actually "raced" the car

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

hee hee.. enough said..

I'll get you to show me that nice straight streach of road some time..

++dez;

 

Anyone know if the intensity of beeper for the rev limit can be adjusted? Anyone ask this question to the dealer... I am going for my 1000km service next wednesday and I will ask then

 

anyone else willing to admit that they find themselves driving along quietly with others in the car and you can't help but talk about the little beep.. and then when they ask "what beep?" you clutch in and rev out till the beep says "hi there beeeep"?

sigh.. I've got issues..

++dez;

 

I'm off to Melbourne tomorrow night until Wednesday... if you see a pedestrian grinning and giving you the thumbs up in the CBD.... that'll be me!

 

I'm out of any drive till after xmas sorry - I'll be pushing it to make the big five oh b'day bash in Qld and stay married at this rate..

I've been officially told that my wife's feeling like a n RX8 widow at times..

I think she's only partially joking.
