"Cincinnati 8 meet at Newport on the Levee"
 

I have been trying to get some ppl together and meet up somewhere. We had a total of four ppl going but we want more. If you are interested just chim in and let me know. The details so far are we would like to meet on August 20th which is this Sunday, at Noon. As of right now we are shooting for Newport on the Levee (Its in Newport Ky if anyone didnt know.) Just leave your thoughts here. We are doing to this so we can get to know our fellow Nati 8 owners and check out there rides. Hope we can do this Thanks Josh :Peace:

I'm not entirely certain I can be there, outside chance I'll be at the Reds game at 1pm. Where at in Newport?

I guess we should get this a lil more organized first. So if anone has any up coming dates they would like to meet up we can run it by everyone. Just post your thoughts. I am all for a meet just let me know when we can get a good amount of ppl and where we would want to meet.

I live in Russell, Ky. which is close to Ashland. It is about a two and a half hour drive for me, but I would like to come up sometime. Could use a little more notice. Hope to be able to meet some of you at a cruise, etc.

Yea man thats cool I will try to get something together and let everyone know wat ahead of time. I am tryin to get some ppl together and we can go cruise and hang, but its cool to know we have more ppl now....haha

I meet up with the guys from indyrx8club.com, they have meets about once a month.

Pretty good group of guys.

You guys still looking for Cinci RX8 owners to meet up? I'd be interested. I'm new to the forum and would like to see what interest there is in the Cincinnati area to get together. I've posted another message in this regional forum, so I'm hoping a few Cinci 8's speak up.

I'm IN!!

Yo steven000e,

Where are you located? I'm in Loveland/Mainville area. I'll be out of the country into May, starting Saturday, but a cruise later in May sounds like fun.

There's another Cinci 8 post in another thread in this same forum, and sounds like we could get a few together pretty easily Look for that thread.

Count me in....I have been waiting for this for about ummmmm FOREVER. Just let me know when and where and I will be there.

There is a meet this sat in INDY at 2pm. Suppose to be over 30 cars showing up. www.indyrx8club.com go there and find out more!

it was originally schedule for april but it was posponed for this saturday check page 2

Hi all Cinci -8's.

I thought I'd try to kick off a simple get together, so let me see if this works. I'll suggest a couple of times and places, and which ever get's the most available people, we'll do.

How about Saturday, June 16 or June 23?
Meet at Newport on the Levee, or Ault Park (Hyde Park).

Post a reply with your preferred day and we'll sort out a good place to meet up, suggest someplace to go for a cruise, then maybe a pub for wings and a beer after.

I'll post this same message in the Cincinnati 8's thread in this same forum - sorry, I don't know how to link threads in here.

I'm really hoping somehting comes together and a few RX-8 gather up. If you know any RX-7's in the area, invite them too and let's all connect.

Adios for now.

Meeting at the levee on the 23rd sounds good to me. I am in Just let me know what time and I am there. As far as food I dont care where we go I am up for anything. Just keep me posted.

"Smoke Herb like a hippy, Drink like a pirate."

So far it looks like the 23 works for several, at Newport on the Levee. If you know of other's from the area, PM them directly or invite. I don't know any other -8 drivers yet (which is why I'm looking forward to meeting up!).

BTW - I'm in the Loveland / Lebanon area - anyone else near me?

Hey guys, you should also post this on www.ohiorotaries.com

I think there are a few 8 owners there.

If you wanted to, you could open it up to a Rotary meet, and try to get a few more cars out. Just a thought...

Man.. that 23th is perfect... i dont know if alot of us can do it during the weekdays...
I was thinking about meeting up early around 4 or 3 on that free parking lot right across Hofbrauhaus and sideways of newport in the levee... then we can go for a cruise, I dont care where... or we can head up to devou park and take some pics of the 8's with the cincy background for future meetings.
then maybe head back to newport and get some beers and food at the Hofbrauhaus.

what do you think?

I think we should keep any updates in this threat because its confucing when we have the same event in two threats.

https://www.rx8club.com/mw-rx-8-forum-31/cincinnati-8-meet-newport-levee-96893/

OK - we'll stick to this thread from here on. Sorry 'bout the confusion.

Yes, let's do an afternoon cruise. steven000e, can you post a mapquest link to the Hofbrauhaus from mapquest?

I posted an invite on rx7club.com, and I'll also put one on the ohiorotaries site. Here's what I'll put out there:

-Meet 3:00 p.m. at the free parking lot across from Hofbrauhaus on June 23
-Cruise in the afternoon, maybe 100 or so miles (route to be determined, plus maybe some picture taking along the way) and back at the Hofbrauhaus around 6:00 p.m.
-At the Hofbrauhaus from 6:00 for whatever happens there

I've seen some hits on the RX7club.com thread, and I'm hoping ohiorotaries.com also get some interest going. Be sure to inivite others that you know of.

See you all there....

My GF is a professional photographer and she said she would love to come down and take a few pics and put it on a CD for anyone interested...

Nice work!

So whats the latest on the meet at the end of the month?

Still on.
so get your cars ready....
cuzz i'll see u there....

I plan on being there. I'll be in my RX7.

Hopefully I'll be able to rally a few more of the local rotary guys to come down as well. As of right now, it should be a decent turnout.

BDC will be in Cincy tuning a few of our cars that weekend. We hope to be able to cruise down afterward and meet up with everyone.

I definitely have this on the calendar. As far as I know, the details on page 1 of this thread are still good.

Hey all,

I've got a set of tires for sale. Probably not supposed to post for sale ads here, but I wanted to mention it for those planning to be at the upcoming cruise, in case there's any local interest. Thread link to the FS ad:

hi all,

just joined. Im like 15 mins from the levee. Count me in. The 23rd of this month right?

robel82
Welcome. Yep, 23rd of this month. See you there.

look what i found!!
People over at cincy street scene know already about the event, and it seems they will be showing up as well

http://www.cincystreetscene.com/foru...ad.php?t=35327

I'm having issues with my suspension, my endlinks are bent up from faulty install from an aftermarket shop i went to. So it's up in the air at this point if i'll be able to attend with my rx8, but i'm still comming down to check it out anyways. I'll probably be driving my mom's car.

Sorry to hear Joe. Hope everything works out! 5 more days people!

do we know about the cruise? i mean do we know or have any ideas where are we going.... I was looking at the map and i notice that us50 which is the road that goes along the river in ohio would be nice..
we can go either west or east and its a good long twisty road....
anybody any ideas?

now i really can't go for any of it, due to a scheduling error at work, i'm now working from 12:30-8:30 on saturday.

us50 is not that exciting, yes lots of turns, but lots of red lights too. that's east or west. it would be a nightmare to keep any caravan greater then 10 together dealing with all the lights.

lol, you could have an endurance race, the i275-hundred, first one to pit for anything but gas looses.

i would lead on some back roads in SE indy if i wasn't working. damn scheduling f-up

The i-275 endurance race sounds good, but I want to go on alot of twisties and test out the new suspension!

But im down for anything!

how about US 8 from newport heading East through belleveu and dayton on 6th ave all the way to almost Mentor.
make right onto Smith road towards Flagg Spring and then back on to AA hwy until alexandria parkway up to 471N and back to newport!!

anybody has any other idea? is this fair?
here is link to map quest to look at what am i talking about!

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp...&zipcode=45202

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp...&name=&dtype=s

Linky no worky
Here is the route i'd lead on if i didn't have to work, it's about 40 minutes from Western hills,

I'll give you the turn by turn if you want to punch it to a map generators yourself
it's pretty damn fun to run
highly recomend having someone run it be for saturday if you choose this route

damn work issues, it's been a while since i've been able to attack the twisties due to work and now my car's suspension:banghead: :banghead:
but hopefully i'll be in one piece again by friday.

Here is the link to Yahoo maps, if it works
http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&q8=39.0...8.885421&mag=7
if not, i've attatched a screen shot of the 88.9 mile loop of country backroads

what are the final details?

I dont think I'm going to make it. There's a burning plastic smell coming from my engine bay/front wheel wells and I dont what it is. Im getting my windows tinted in the morning then its going to the shop if I can get it in. Might anyone know what the problem is?

I am still in....I had to move my Dyno run to the 30th which is the following Saturday. I have been waiting for this since I bought my car almost three years ago....I know my way around the area and I know of a really good twisty if anyone is up for it....It is off of the AA highway if anone knows where that is, but highway sounds good too....Keep me posted....

what twisty are referring to? I know the AA pretty well

You know the new Mac D's they just built by Waffle House? Well you go through that light and then I beleive it is the first street on the right....I can't remember the name but I will check it out and get back to ya....me and my friends always take our bikes down there.

ready!
 

sorry to hear you cant make it!
about the plastic smell.. dont worry too much about it! it happened to me before. our CATs run pretty hot so now and then.... if you drive over a plastic bag, it will get stock there... there is no way to fix the smell soon. you will be stock with that smell for at least one month.
sucks i know been there....:wallbash:

any how for anybody else i will see you down there.
3pm right. ?
it seems that it is going to be a good turn out! bunch of people outside this club have been talking about it ... :ylsuper:

peace!! :40oz:

We are meeting at 3pm in the parking lot across from the Hofbrahaus. And I guess we will discuss what route we are going to take for the cruise. If there is anything I missed, please post it so everyone can recieve the information.

If there is any questions, feel free to post before the meet!

See everyone tomorrow!

It was good to meet everyone that showed up. We need a bigger turnout next time. But that cruise was a great time! We need to set something up for next month and see if we can get more people to show up!

jb

I decided at around 3:40 that I would go but when I got there I didnt see any 8s, How long did you guys stick around before you went on the cruise and how many did show up?
