OK, I don't see an RX8 everyday, but today I saw two of them...both red. (as well all know, V Red cars are the fastest RX8's)

Anyway, I saw one (with spoiler) on 11th ave by 5th Street @ around 11:30. I was just parking at a meter.

The other one I saw was at about 10:20am in the parking lot at where I work! I was backing up checking the rear view mirror thinking, "there's my car"....WTF?

My office is in Fisher Park off of Glemore and Mcloed Trail.....who the hell was that?

Hey guys, just thought that I'd let you know that I'm not going to be hanging around here that much anymore. I'm kind of fed up with some of the crap that's been going on here lately. Rather than complain about it, I'm going over to the dark side (RX8web).

I'll check in once in a while to see if there are any drives scheduled.

Not so fast! There's background as to what happened last week, why the RX7Club clowns infested the lounge, etc. That lounge crap was not permitted prior to last week, should not have been permitted last week, and will not / is not being permitted now. In other words, last week was an anomoly, and we are now back to the old RX8Club that you fell in love with!

So - we want and need you and the other RX8Web refugees to come back! Don't bail out so quickly! This is still where the real RX8 action is on the internet.

Regards,
Gordon

I hope your right Gord,

I'm still monitoring the board for now. Even though the RX7 "boys" have gone there still seems to be a good chunk of people that would like to see this board be more like the RX7 board. I think Raz had a good point....what's wrong with wanting standards and wanting this board to be something better than the Neon SRT board?


Maybe I'm showing my age....This place was a place to hang out with friends..It doesn't feel like it now.

Ron

When I parked my Grey 8 in the Canterra Tower early this afternoon, I looked over and saw another 8, MT, with Sports Package. Was that anyone on this list?

If so, I apologize that my dirty 8 was so close to your clean one. Rest assured that the problem has been corrected; I headed over to Crowfoot Shell shortly after leaving downtown!

OH! That's interesting ... somebody with a blue 8 invading my territory??? I'm supposed to be the only blue 8 there! Lucky he didn't totally copy me by having blue calipers.

Saw a red 8 turning out of Mount Royal onto 14th Street at about 4:45 PM today. A very attractive woman was behind the wheel.

About half an hour later, I saw another (or the same) red 8 parked on 33th Ave at about 18th Street. No sign of the driver, though.

Anyone here?

Did anybody check out the Radiant Ebony 8 at the Car show this past weekend? Personally I thought it was really slick.
