Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the board....

I like your avatar - my wife bought me a personalized plate for X-Mas (I've never been a big fan, but it's not bad)

Now if I can only get Chuck Yeager to autograph it :D

That's amazing. One thing everybody forgets is this thing had super cruise as well! It's cruising speed was faster then the speed of sound, only other plane that can do that is the f-22.. Sorry, totally off topic

Ohhh, this is a plane sighting thread now. Ok, I spotted a few Air Canada planes taking off, there was a few Lufthansa planes, and saw quite a few JetsGo's on the ground.

Spotted a Blue on the 407 approaching Britannia I believe at 8:05am. Was on the look out for Mic blowing by all the Beemers, but I guess you take off earlier.

There was a red one with strakes on the 401 stuck in traffic I believe between Mavis and Mississauga Rd around 4:45. Blonde driver.

While in my 8 going down Erin Mills, just after the Mississauga rd junction, spotted a Silver going north. Gentleman with white hair I believe, was in left lane, I was in far right lane going south, he didn't see me (possibly was George????)

That's interesting! Are you tallking about jets or Red RX-8's? I guess because they have the same cruising speed I got a little confused.

Make it 4 for the day. Spotted a Black on the QEW heading west at 3rd line, possibly got off. I was driving on North service road going east.

I'm sure we'll get flamed for being off topic but who cares....very cool picture. I've got a picture of Yeager in front of a B-2 autographed. He used to frequent a lot of the Air Industries Association conferences.....not so much now that he has a new young wife.

Mic, because we only think of the 6 speed MT as real rx-8's. The automatic 8's get lumped to gether with the Mazda 3 sport hatchback sightings.

Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity to **** you off!

Cheers Mic

HAHAHA

I tried looking out for you the other morning, but, you leave earlier then when I was on the 407, didn't get to see the famous "Eat My Dust Beemers" run. I guess you're just to fast for us to see, as your speeding down the highway like a guy just came home and caught you in bed with his wife .... wait .... maybe that is true

Sham, be easy on him for his being an AT, from the outside, they are all the same, beautiful cars, who cares what's in the inside. When was the last time you looked at a hot woman, and wondered what she was like on the inside.

I'm just teasing Mic. I saw his car on the move and it looked pretty quick to me. So I'm just having fun.

I know Sham, I would have said something along those lines too, but you beat me to it.

I seen the "Mysterious Milton 8". Saw the black beauty last night in the parking lot of the milton mall. The license plate frame says Burlington Mazda so I'm guessing its the same one as Mic and I keep seeing.

Ah, my first sighting since I've known about this thread. Black 8 (no appearance/spoiler or anything) coming onto the QEW westbound right before the Ford drive exit around 11:30AM this morning.

I was in my company car and it was far away so I didn't wave...

But, made me feel that I needed to drive my baby so I swung by home and switched cars before going back to the office

Just spotted a Black 8 going north on Mavis, just passed Rathburn. I was waiting to turn left (roughly 8 cars back) going to Square One. I was in my Silver, don't think he saw me.

Saw a Titanium Grey last night @ 1:00AM in the morning going south on Erin Mills crossing Dundas. There was a girl in the passenger seat. I was going East on Dundas crossing Erin Mills and I flashed the 8 but I don't think he noticed my 8.

Mic, Was that you ? As fore the beep, congrats on hearing the beep. You are no longer a RX-8 virgin! Now we got to set you up with a babe so you can lose your own virginity as well. :D


Take care and enjoy the weekend in Belleville.

Hey Mic, what do you mean poor co-operation? :-P I'll hook you up if I get some more info. :D
