Lightbulb Getting Together

Now that test drives are going on, Anybody think that it's worth forum members meeting up at dealerships over the next 2 weeks?

I'll start the ball rolling -

Leeds Mazda, Thursday 11th September - 3 pm - Any takers??

Can't do. I'm there on Tuesday at 11.00am. Work calls on the Thursday, else it might be nice to say hello to a few people I only know by a nickname, an avatar and a posting style.

PS Enjoy the test drive

Why don't we wait until Spring 2004. We should all have our cars then and we could have the 1st UK RX8 FEST.

A NICE Country House Hotel, somewhere off the M5 should suit most. An overnight stay and loads of chat & booze!

Lots of pics etc and send some to MAZDA UK!:D

Cheers

Definately be up for this, though I'm sure as more people buy the cars a club will develop with local monthly meetings etc.

In fact, does anyone know if there is a UK RX-8 club? I know there are a couple of RX-7 and/or Rotary engine clubs. Maybe we'll just get tagged on with those.

Not one to my knowledge. I wouldn't be surprised if some of us forumites become the founding members!

OK - I'll start one! £50 to join (10% discount to titanium RX-8 drivers), bi-anual news e-mail, possibly a free pen if I get enough of those charity ones though the door

Lol...

Seriously, it would be worth considering, and I agree that the regulars here are more than likly to form the basis of a future club.

I don't know of any other RX-8 related forums on the net that another group of UK/European pre-orders are hanging around in?

Theres http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com which would be a sensible start - not a lot of RX-8 activity on their forums though. This seems to be the forum for rx-8 stuff.

Count me in, I think a Sping 2004 meeting would be good, becaue at least we will have had a few months to run our cars in.

We could arrange this "off forum" by emailing each other.

Thumbs up Would Mazda not be interested??

I just wonder if Mazda UK would be willing to help out with this, - they have the demographics of the orders so it would make it easier to set up regional venues and locations, also they may want to link to it on their web site?

If there's enough interest then there's enough of us in the IT world to set up an official (or unoffical) RX8 Owners Club web site.

Just to see who's interested I'll post a poll to try to get a feel for numbers.

:D

I'm up for the meet, and agree about the owners club thing.

Proably worth talking to Clive at Mazda Rotary Club to ask about his experiences ideas, might even be worth setting up as a sub club.

Spring meet sounds good.

A nice hotel at the end of a long, quiet, twisty B road would be good!!

we could have a tug of war to determine, once and for all, which is the best colour, Red or Titanium Grey

(Titanium Grey of course) :D

If you have the car or are interested, of course.

Which side will you be taking in the tug of war?
