Yes, the Texas folks made it ok. Not only did we get lost trying to find the Q, but the Texas Handy Honda got a flat tire about 10 minutes out from the Q.

I wish I could have met ya'll. Congrats to Shari again for winning Best RX-8!!!!!

See ya'll in the fall!!!

 

No, but there IS a Shinka very close to my work here in Tulsa. I would have tagged it with a flyer but it's behind a gate. Being a rare breed (especially around these parts), it's probably the same one that showed up last year.

Bummer, so that was you I saw in the pasenger seat of the Honda. I was keeping an eye out for your VR with the MS kit, too bad it was out of commission . I wanted to see how that MS wing looked as I have yet to see one in person. Did you or anyone else in the caravan go out for drinks later? I was worn out and sunburned last night so I didn't make it.

 

yeah...there weren't to many 8's there... was looking forward to seeing the dallas folks...

 

Yeah, that was me! I was really bummed my 8 couldn't be there too. Oh well, next time. We went out for drinks around 8 or so. We had dinner at the Elephant Bar and Grill and then went to Brook (???) on 33rd/Peoria for a few beers. The afterparty was in our hotel room, but I was asleep on the bed.

YA'LL NEED TO COME DOWN FOR THE FALL Q!!!

 

*blush* Awwww..... *blush*

Dave came over and told Tiff and I that he loved us and all, but that if your 8 had been there during voting you would've won the "Best RX8" award. I hate that I didn't get to check it out.

Hopefully we'll all get to meet ya and check out your 8 at the fall 'Q in October.

 

Congrats again, best 8 won hands down!
How's the Texas weather in October? It was the worst day possible for a dyno tune, I'd like to maybe swing down to Gotham Racing that weekend to give them another crack at tunning it.

 

It's usually warm/cool. The hot is gone, but it can sometimes rain towards the end of the month.

 

It's usually pretty nice weather in October. It doesn't start getting cool until late November, early December or so. We had the fall 'Q at the end of September last year (on the same weekend that Hurricane Rita blew onto the coast, as a matter of fact). It was overcast and windy, but a nice temp and not a bad day at all.

 

Where are the pics?

 

Sorry we didn't end up making it.
Between the A/C fiasco, and being chronically overscheduled this weekend, it just wasn't happening.

However, the house is now a cool 74 degrees, Matt should have a job by the end of this week, and I have vacation in about two weeks.
Some normalcy would be nice....

 

Here's a link to the few pics that I took...

There's a thread at www.rotaryrendezvous.com/forum that has more links posted. Mike hasn't had a chance to post the "official" pics yet. There are A LOT of 'em.

 

Awesome, you even got a couple of shots of the "Brookside" Lambo, I see that around here alot!

 

Yep, that's exactly where it was parked, too. Definitely not a car I get to see every day.
