That was probably me..(if it had aftermarket rims)..I was late for practice..hehe. I have a Borla exhaust, and I love it...especially when WOT under bridges...scares the crap out of everyone else

Saw a whole bunch of us out there today! The black with the MS rims on Deerfoot South about 1030, two reds, one in Cranston, girl driver with a straw cowboy hat on, and another passed me on Deerfoot Northbound, had chrome door handles..., a white and a silver in Country Hills, a grey at a Superstore and well, me!

No blues... I dont often see a blue..?

Big day for 8's in Calgary!

I saw a VR, and a CR around UoC in the last week, don't remember around which buildings though.

Holy crap, lot 32 is hellah far for me...I guess you are in Business?
I've been parking in lot 11 for the past 2 years...but next month I will have to ditch my 8 since my lease is up...Will be driving my family's junkmobile, '05 Mazda 3, or new '07 TSX(picked it up yesterday)...

Hope to get another rotary in the future though...

I will try to sell my red LED footwell lights (I bought them last month) that I got from the buy/sell forum from Rotary Rasp, so if anyone is interested msg me. Also, going to sell my clear corners (straight from japan, used it for two years), so msg me if anyone is interested in those. Will be posting them in buy/sell soon, but thought I'd give fellow Calgarians a heads up

Did someone say "MEET"?? Anyone interested in having one before the snow arrives? Perodogo has got the MS kit installed today and it looks like a good time to get together again!!! Who's in?

i am with a blue rx8 but usually i just go to university. since the weather is getting worse, and 8 is my only ride, i would probably take bus if any day would be snowing or getting really cold cuz i love my 8 like loving myself. actually, love my 8 more than myself. i have seen one blue rx8 in univeristy too and i parked right beside it once but that car looks like completely stock(just look like). never get chance to say "HI" cuz neven seen the rider..... hope the rider is one of you guys, if any of you still go to school..

i am in second year of geomatics engineering. well, i have gotten my car since last Dec. but there was too much snow last winter, so i just took bus everyday in the winter. I used to park in lot 32 when i first came to u of c cuz i didnt know there was a lot 11 where u could pay every single time. but i had a 04 tiburon GT at that time. Hope to see u around university, i would like to meet people with 8. By the way, early 30, why dont u just creat a new thread called"last calgary meet in 2007" or whatever?

Saw a super nice red FD (rhd) today around 3:20pm coming out of crowfoot, I think he waved? I wasn't really paying attention, since I didn't want to run over a pedestrian.

Ahh you young pups
I see more 8's when I'm on my bike.. I saw so many last Sunday..! One even waved at me.. dont know who he was but I did wave back.

I see one all the time on the South side, a young guy (25 at best maybe?) in a black with the Mazdaspeed rims..

Heading down Nosehill, and turned onto Crowchild beside a TG, with winter rims/tires on already. Way to prepare! I have seen your car around quite a bit.


And of course saw philsbluerx8 today in a UoC parkade.
