Rx8 Sightings Thread
 
I figured instead of everyone writing an individual thread for sightings.... Let it all be here.

Pete Aug 22, 2003 06:07 PM

I saw a black Rx8 today at Bally's total fitness at the 400 and 7.

Anyone on this thread. If so, come to the meet on sat 23rd at 6pm. See toronto meet thread. :)

Cheers

Pete

I've seen some in the garage at the dealer's over a month ago, but hadn't seen one driving until this week. I had my first "road sighting" of an RX-8 on Monday in the Ville-Saint Laurent industrial park. It was a Titanium beauty, same color that I ordered. The driver said he'd pre-ordered in January; we didn't get a chance to talk much through our windows at a stop sign, but I'm primed to receive mine "as soon as it comes in next week" (we've all heard that one before).

I seen one on Friday (Aug 22) in Pickering, and we cruised together until Ajax.

I talked to him about it (Silver GT) and then told him about the forum. :)

I still have never seen another Rx-8 other than my own in real life....but my Dad saw a yellow one on the QEW between Hamilton and Burlington last night (Aug 26)

Re: Rx8 Sightings Thread
 
There's a yellow one in Gatineau (Hull) Québec. I saw it in a parking lot along Blvd. St-Joseph, where there used to be a yellow Integra Type R. I guess someone upgraded. :)

I saw a yellow and a blue this past Saturday at D&B!:p

i'm driving to work this morning and cruising slowly at 105 kph and i look at my rear view mirror... YES, my 1st ever sighting of another RX-8 while i'm actually driving. It was a beautiful titanium 8 .

Too bad the driver had to exit about a km later...was it any member of this forum?

MyRxBad Aug 29, 2003 10:34 AM

Does the blue Rx-8 have a blue tinted plate cover on the back of it? (the one in Toronto), cuz if it does I seen it downtown last night a little after 4pm. :D

Quick_lude Aug 29, 2003 04:50 PM

Saw a red one yesterday on Hwy 10 in Brampton. Gave a wave from my Prelude.. anyone here? The red looks sharp.

Titanium sighting
 
Was it on route 40? If so, it could have been me! I just got the car yesterday and it is a BLAST! Automatic notwithstanding...!

I have seen a silver one (can't tell if it's GS or GT) twice in the last two weeks here in the tri-cities.

Lude, I'm in that area for work....where exactly was it?

Don't recall seeing the girl under your name driving a hot prelude though ;)

Did it have a tail?

Hahaha! For the last time that's NOT me! :D Actually it was Thursday about 3 30pm. I was going north on 10 towards Queen, you were going south. Can't remember if I waved or gave you a thumbup. My car is silver, oem body kit, tail :D , low to the ground.

Hehe...I *kind* of figured that. Still be hot as hell to see that chick driving a souped up Prelude, you should give her a call :)

Not sure that was me....I wasn't in that neck of the woods on Thurs. I'll keep an eye out for your Lude though!

Coincidence or what?!
 
So today, my first weekend after receiving my new Titanium Gray RX-8, I take my wife, her twin sister and her husband out for a spin outside Montreal. We went to drive some scenic areas with smooth, hilly roads winding gracefully through the lakes, going in a loop from Lachute to Morin Heights to Laurel to Lost River, then back to Lachute. The ride was thoroughly enjoyable and roomy enough for all.

And what did we see when we started on Route 329??? ANOTHER beautiful TITANIUM GRAY RX-8 pulling up behind us! Oncoming traffic must have thought we were going to a club meeting. After a few minutes we pulled over at the next safe opportunity and waited a bit but they didn't show up.

Note: some of the roads on this trip had been repaved last year, so they were really smooth, but some were hellish! Damn those Quebec winters. The best section, if you're looking for a nice ride in the area, was along Rte. Principale between Laurel and Rt. 364. Next trip will be the Lachute - Louisa (Chemin Dunany).
