I know it's still a few months out, but are we still doing this thing?

Yep, I will be there. Just waiting until we closer to the date before I start postin' too much. :)

Countdown clicker states 119 days and 12 hours....wooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooo!!! :D :D

Ya'll count me as a maybe. It sounds like fun and I'd love to make the drive.

Ajax--wanna lift?

so uhh...people are still down for picking me up at the airport right?? lol

I was going to say something very innapropriate for a married man right now but since today is Valentine's Day I decided to reign myself in... :p

I am sure that one of us will be able to pick you up at the airport. If nothing else I will help you get to your destination. I'll be renting a car though so it wouldn't be in an 8. :(

As I've stated elsewhere I may be trading it in on an H2 soon anyway.

Wow. I haven't been around here in a while. I can't believe some of the things I've read.

Whether this has been covered already is a moot point as I didn't want to read through every post.

I have to appologize to the 8 crowd as I've been so focused with the 7 guys that I have let you fall by the wayside. I'll fix that. Some of you know that I've been trying to get Chicago back on the map as far as the club thing goes. Since taking over last fall, it's been a challenge to get a legit thing organized with other things that have been going on.

In response to Ryan, it's funny how he criticized this when he says that he's been trying to unite everyone. Let them do their own thing. So what? Easy to see why people have the opinions of him as they do. :rolleyes:

I don't know how far this has gone, but with the Revolution happening so close, I hope that this won't interfere with people going to that. Where I realize that you want to do your own thing and not be under the umbrella of the 7 crowd, this is a rotary thing, not just a 7 thing. I think there's been so much misinformation about the 8 being a successor to the 7 which isn't true. I don't think so anyway. After riding around one at Gingerman, I have respect for it's capabilities. Just let the aftermarket catch up and all will be well.

Just ignore all the nay sayers. If you need some help from me, just let me know. I plan to be there, but as a rotary enthusiast, not an elitist of any sort. Keep the superiority attitudes in check and everyone can have a good time. How hard is that?
As I've said, I've met some of you already, at least a few Chicago locals. I suck with names, but one has gone on a cruise with the local 7 guys. He had fun, and man was he tearing it up. I'm looking forward to meeting more local 8 owners. If those guys are reading this, send me a PM if not already on the email distruibution list.

Kari, what's your thing about the other forum? I'm pretty sure I have an idea, I just want your take on it.

Christian

i will CRY if you trade it in for an H2..why on earth does anyone not in the army need one of those horrible things?!?!

and do i even want to know what you wanted to say!? :o

I can still come and get you from the airport. When it gets closer to crunch time either PM me your number or we can talk on AIM. Whichever is best.

it looks like it will cost me some where around the 180$ range to fly in...

SO ARE PEOPLE STILL ACTUALLY GOING SINCE THIS THREAD IS TOTALLY DEAD!??! :D

I probably will, being the Chicago prez (of all things rotary, not the 8 crowd) and all. :)

I don't even know how may Chicagoans are going.

Based on the RX8 Web thread it looks like it's cancelled

Hey! Who cancelled it?! I was really looking forward to this!

yea i wanna go to

No one really cancelled it.. You can all go, just arrange something! :)

I just won't be going and no one else was attempting to make any arrangements. I have a list of hotels downtown with decent pricing.

If this still happens I can easily pick you and anyone else up at the airport in Milwaukee assuming people arrive around the same time. O'hare would be pretty easy as well, just let me know.

On a side note I stayed at the Omni Ambassador east a few weeks back and it's a nice place with pretty reasonable pricing. Michigan Ave. and a good amount of non touristy nightlife and restaurants within walking distance.

God, I hate it when I agree with Ike...

Sorry to hear that the meet has been cancelled. You are all welcome to come to our 1st Annual Rx8roup.Com Meet on June 5th, 2005. See the website for more details. Hope to see some of you there.

It would also be nice to see you consider coming down to the Rotary Revolution in Indy April 22-24. Right now we look to be once again over 200 rotary vehicles strong and Mazda is sending out a personal invitation to over 4000 RX8 owners in the Midwest.

Given a normal 3% return that would put us over 140 RX8 owners there this year (keeping fingers crossed).

Hey guys...so what the heck is up with this? Is it on? is it off? Let's get an actual list of who is going, and then get a group rate at a hotel, so that we all stay in the same location.....that is if its still on.....
