Why the West Coast is the best coast
#39
What an awesome ride guys, one has not lived until they have experienced pushing this rotary to its limits through twisties, different elevations, hairpins, and strait aways - this car launches like a rocket after 60KM per hour, is there any other car that inspires so much confidence at 175KM than the 8? oops...did i just say 175KM?
The chassis is a real beauty, so easy to drive, so responsive, agile and quick...fantastic fun
some memorable moments
1) the 'slalom' run
2) the RX-8 'box'
3) walkie talkie
- look out for that damn bird
- damn camper
- pot hole, ten-four
-look at that canyon
-look at that 'hot' chick
-Subaru Impreza, ha, made you look
must do another one, calling out yellow's and red's, vancouver, any yellow and reds?

LOL
hey isn't there a rally called the Targa Rally or something? (or is it in Newfoundland? sorry for my ignorance) saw some clips of it on speedchannel and WOW.... I'd love to be able to drive 160kph through city streets lol, I think the 8 would do great as a stock showroom car!
One of my dreams would be to drive crosscountry in the 8 to PEI....

Outstanding! Planning on going to Victoria in August..now I want to cancel my flight and take the RX instead. Have driven to the West 2x . Got to Yukon the first time in a Morris Minor. Second trip we were in a Fiat and drove through the Cascades range of the Monashees.. that particular road since closed because of the number of 'drive offs'.. Unforgettable scenery mixed with memorable moments of near-panic as oncoming lumbertrucks seemed hell bent on forcing us offroad and into the void. No shoulders, or guardrails, but we made it. Thank you for these reminders of our fabulous west country.

Very nice! If I wasn't familiar with RX-8's and meets like this, I would think all those cars were protecting the Blue one as if some President was riding the blue
...and then some guns inside the Titanium and Silver ones.
