D&B Meet - April 24/05 - pics

To those of you who might have missed it, were there but want to see sights you might've missed or simply want memories of the event, here are a few pics. (one thing I noticed, I'm not a stellar photographer) :o

*cough* and a few more!

Wow ... how many people did you have at your meet there? It looked to me like there was two rows of 8's.

about 30 8's and about 20 7's.

But who cares ... for a shitty and crappy day in TO... There were lots and lots of us .. and guys like Neo and others brought their 6s .. Big Time Good Turnout ...
Cool Pics Sajek .. Think our next meet should be at Yonge and the 401 ..

How did you take the 1st picture from high up? Did they let you on the roof or something? (or was there a patio there that I didn't notice).

:)

I found what I assume was a fire escape stairway. No patio just stairs that led to the roof.

Sabe ... Kewl Pics ...
And you went up on the roof without me ?..

That was just phenomenal. I am in awe of how things came together today.

I don't know if anyone got a firm head count (I didn't) but the Ottawa Meet may no longer be the Big meet.

First off, a big huge round of e-applause for Lawyer's Spirit for spearheading the cause and sticking it out despite the difficulties he encountered (some of which most are unaware of.) Today's meet and the meeting that followed is something that has been long overdue in our community, and my hat is off to him for being a motivator and a rallying point for all of us.

My thanks and admiration also go out to all who came out, despite unfavourable weather, and for some, unfavourable schedules. Just your attendance stands as a vote of confidence and assurance that this Club is something worth creating and fostering. Creating for all of us to benefit from.

Recap for those who missed it

After enduring the cold parking lot (some were out there for over an hour) we went into Sam & Pete's to get setttled and start our meet(ing.) Despite an unco-operative PA system, Lawyer's Spirit was able to address everyone, thank them for coming and then call for a show of hands from those interested in taking active roles in the club. It was very pleasing to see over a dozen hands go up.

We moved into a lounge area around the corner. At times, it was hard to hear one another over the main group (and you thought our cars were loud ;) ) but we were able to discuss quite a bit and share ideas about how to create an RX Club. Those discussions will be continued.

I'm not going to go into detail right now - not to be secretive, but rather b/c I've got too much to do tonight b4 I crash. I will say this:

- there will be a web page for the club. Initially, it will be used to post news, announcements and contact information. This will be expanded upon once we get our feet under ourselves.

- the Club will work to ensure that there will be at least one big meet each month between now and September.

Those of us who met separately still have to get all of our newly collected information sorted out and establish what our respective roles are. We'll be doing this through email and the like for expediency, and will have a formal announcement shortly if all goes well (and I'm certain that it will.) Our volunteers are enthusiastic and smart people. It won't take long for them get their acts together and co-ordinate their planning.

Thank you all for coming out! Hopefully, Davide's photographs (our new friend with the Howitzer-sized camera) posted soon.

Definately a very motivating turn out. We even had three 7 owners come down from Ottawa. I look forward to the fast approaching patio weather for future meets. :)

Glad that I got to see the new faces and some familar ones. Great photos guys! Amur, thanks for posting the write up from the 7 board (BTW I guess you're the unoffical writer for now :D ) Does David post here on the 8 board? I would love to see them wicked shots he took and exchange some geeky Star Wars tales of great finds and what nots ;)

I'm terrible with names so let me first applogize for not remember everyones right off the bat. So with that said let us post here who came and perhaps a tibit of the meet they found interesting.

So I had lunch with a first timer (um, I forgot you name :confused:, like I said I suck with names, but I'm working on it.) who also brought a friend to entice him to pick up an 8 (he drives a mustang right now.) Afterwards we met up with Damon and drove up to the meet...mostly at the speed limit :rolleyes:

I couldn't beleive how many of us turned out. Awesome show people. Yay us!!!

Neo, the first time I came on time, you don't ;) If it rains at the next meet, just wrap your 7 in plastic and drive her over. I would love to hear ya coming ;)

BTW if anyone of you guys want to get emblems, either custom or premade ones, pm your emails and I'll contact the fella I dealt with to give you all the discount that he promised us.

Hellbreed, great to meet you man. BTW I'm an idiot, I use Photoshop 5.5 (8? I must had our cars on the brain :rolleyes: )

Alan, it was great seeing you again. I wanted to say goodbye, butyou left before i could find ya. Good luck on the books and their launch. I'm sure that the 8er and 7ers would love to hear what you've been drumming up.

Mic...Mic...Mic, women should be warned of your seducing charm. I was great to meet a fellow paddler ;)

One of the dangers of bringing pen & pencil to a meet. ;)

He has only just found us and has not yet created a handle for himself. Soon...

My gawd! Tell me you at least have running water in your home!

Oh yeah , we have running water--it's called rain ;)

Yeah Photoshop 5.5 sucks arse as it's never saves what you want it too. No $ to upgrade, as I don't charge a lot for my graphic work...which I would love to do more of...anyone need something done? :D (Yes it's yet an other shamless plug of my dirty work :rolleyes:) .

yea.. so, I'm kicking myself for not coming up today... I wasn't keen on the weather and I did have stuff I had to do today... Thanks guys for doing all this. I'll almost definately be in attendance next meet.

Awesome turnout everyone! This is the start of something great and I am looking forward to see where it takes us. What a great sight to see all the RX-8's and RX-7's rolling in little grouped convoys.

Great Pics so far....looking forward to the others.

Hey guys, Awsome to see everyone again and to meet new faces. I will agree with hellbreed when he says this is the beginning of something great. Next time we will have better weather and just as much fun:D Cuba, great to finnally meet you. Dan, I think it is not me you have to worrie about anymore, with that rose Mic gave Monica, you better watch out, She'll be singing rolling stone's songs in the shower. BTW, Great show, but you missed mine :p Looking foward to the next meet like a kid at Christmas.

Dear Mods: wha' happened to Mic's Sex, Drugs etc. thread or has it been absorbed by another? Invalid Thread. I posted pics and notes of thanks late last night. Now, like Kaiser Soze, puff, it's gone. :(

Helas, don't worry about Monica, she is high maintenance and need more than only one rose !! But she did like it, anyway, I have something BIG that Mic cannot give her... :D If you know what I mean... ;)
Next time, we are going to leave at the same time, so, People get your video camera ready...You really don't want to miss it (knowing Helas and I) :cool:
I am already excited about the next meeting, I love to see so many RX8 all together, only hope they could made BABY... :D :D Specially when they look so sweet !! :eek:
Mic you can forget about the 15m restriction with Helas on my girl, now it's applying to you ! :D
