I saw that graphic'ed gray yesterday on 83 also.

Today I saw a dark (midnight?) blue at the Great Lakes Commissary with yellow tags still on it. I hope you find your way here, you color looks nice!

ok, I spotted a black with a veilside kit, aem exhaust, some black wheels.. pulled into portillos on busse over by ohare... parked, and then left. I came out to see who it was but the windows were so dark I couldn't see in, and since you didn't get out of the car, I couldn't introduce myself.

so, who was it? who did I scare away with my texas hospitality?

You should have told us you were in town. That sounds like RX8Solo. His is black with Veilside kit. If it was running, you would have heard it a mile away.

Spotted 3 RX8s on Austin & Belmont with Polish flags celebrating Polish Constitution Day. I was just in the area buying some bubble tea.

I didn't say anything because I was only in town for about 8 hours. We're up in galena IL right now. Had a funeral to attend. Heading back to chicago tomorrow sometime, then heading back to TX monday.

Champaign's Parkland College had a car show Saturday with all kinds of custom cars on display. Someone had a 40th anniversary RX-8 in the show area and I saw a couple of RX-8s in the spectator parking lot, another VR and a BB with factory spoiler. I think one of the members here was running in the Autocross at the same time in another area of the college. I got there late enough that some show cars had probably cleared out because of sporadic sprinkling and threatening rain. My neighbor was supposedly going to show his Studebaker but I didn't see him there.

Hey Everyone. Ok, so I'm moving here really soon and I have some RX8 parts I'd like to sell to someone local. I live in Shiloh/Belleville IL and I have 4 stock rims that are in perfect condition. All 4 still have tires wrapped around them only one of the tires is bad and needs to be replaced. I'll sell em at a very fair price to the first person that wants them. You'll need money and a way to come get them. They are all in a box too.

Also, I have a stock front bumper from my car that I'd like to sell. It's Red in color, but you can paint it any color you like and it's in perfect condition.

I've removed the stock air filter from my car and kept all the parts for that too, so if anyone thinks they need that, it's also available.

Please email me if you're at all interested, I'd like to sell all this stuff to local rx8 owners. If you want to buy any of this stuff, just send me an email and a phone number with your name and I'll call you and we can talk price and I'll tell you my address.
Thanks everyone.

Spotted another sunlight silver on Warrenville road around lunchtime today. We waved, and you pulled up beside me to compliment me on my exhaust.

The time was 8:30. I don't start till 9:00. I was in the little canteen area reading the morning paper and drinking coffee before I started. My clients have found me and I have plenty of work these days.

I bet that sunlight silver you saw was the same guy I spotted on Warrenville road a few days back. Did it basically look stock? It seemed like he was heading back to work after lunch or something. Nice guy - asked about my exhaust setup and complimented me on it. But we both had the green and were turning different ways, so I didn't get to tell him about the club
