I'm back from my mini vacation to NYC. Saw one blue 8 while I was walking in SOHO. Thanks for seeking this up HK.RX888! I'll be there on the 19th @ 2pm I take I will find the area by seeking out the other 8's there.
Pete - purhaps you can help with this. Where at D & B did you meet last time?
Location, use mapquest or yahoo.ca map thingy.
See you all there!
BTW bringing significant others (my wife) is cool, right?

Really? Trying talking to susanna or if you can get him the service manager who's name is at the tip of my tongue. Anyone know it? Toronto Avante...well you can try the Richmond Hill Avante and see what they will do for you, but I haven't got my car serviced there as of yet, but I bet other 8 owners can give you the skinny on how they operate. I PMed you additional info.

Sweet ride buddy. I actually stopped (even there was a car behind me) and took and extra few seconds to admire a brother.
Well done and the blue looks sharp...even coming from a red 8.
Cheers!

A few of us usually get together on Tuesdays at Ferg's for some excellent chicken wings, it's located on Yonge Street just south of Finch in North York. Call me on my cell (416-729-8107) anytime if you would like to join us!
We already have a red but you are still welcome.

I am The One!
Well, the meet was an interesting one. Everyone showed up more than fashionably late (big surprise) :D
Overall it was a nice turnout. I've never seen so many red RX-8's in one place! Although, the rest of you guys missed out on Kevin's blue RX-8 that arrived all the way from Kitchener. :p
Next time we'll make sure the meet will either be dinner/drive or just driving... How did everyone make out on the small cruise??
Alright! Let's see the pics!!!

Doh, I was hoping to see a blue and Pete was supposed to come by with a yellow, didn't get to see that either.
HK.rx888 took a wicked video on the hwy 400 north. He's got video of a 5 rx8's passing in a row. As for being late... everybody know's you always add 1 - 2 hours to the actual time you never want to be the first one there. I took some pics, but not sure how to post them.

excellent stitching job the last pic Amur. I just upgraded to rogers Extreme so these pics should load in a snap :p
more, more, more, must see more.
Like i mentioned to some of the folks at the meet, seems that the red ones are easiest to shine or shine the most. This was my first meet, and i took full advantage of it, by checking out other peoples rides to give me ideas on my own.
after seeing red 8's, i'm definately going to get zaino to shine up my silver 8, hobbes' tints look good so that's on my list of to-do, i also want to experient with the interior lights like hk.rx888 (no worries dude, you aren't from toronto, so nobody will think you copied ME when i do it :p )
look forward to more pics.

Do you mean to create a 'wide' shot as I did above. You'll need Photoshop, (or MSPaint if you don't mind showing a hack job.)
Or do you mean to put several large pictures all in one post? If you do, here's my suggestion:
- hold down 'Ctrl' on your keyboard and press 'N'
- now click on this link: http://image.hostcubix.com/
- upload your first picture
- they'll give you back an address with html image tags around it. Copy and paste it into your reply.
- go back and upload your next picture... and so on, and so on...
And it wouldn't have been a true RX-7 meet without a breakdown.
And here I thought that this was going to be the first weekend where I *wasn't* crawling under a 7. At least it wasn't mine this time. :DAnd the after-meet meet? I think I stopped smiling around 3pm this afternoon...

Those were the only wide pics I took. If you'd like to see all the close-ups, no problem. It'll just take a while to put together.
I figured everyone's already been over these cars from stem to stern a thousand times, especially those who own one. How many times can you look at a door?
