I know someone has pics from that day. The driveway was full of beautiful Mazda sports cars being wrenched on. What a beautiful day!

I had originally wanted the red/black interior but then thought that I might tire of it after a while. Very sharp though.

Neviles...your pretty far south, I think your best route to south winsor would be either coming across the mass turnpike and taking I-84 to hartford or cutting across to providence and taking route 44 to hartford. South windsor is about 10 mins north of hartford. Not sure where's the best place to meet up seeing that your coming from the opposite direction...but I'll still meet you somewhere down south if you want.
Crosswound that sounds good, now all we have to do is talk Deslok into going and that will be all the 8's from western mass represented. The black 8 was probably me you saw. I have seen a few silvers, 1 tit., and 1 blue one around but I haven't seen another black 8 around here.
My cousin lives in florence and I cut across easthampton all the time. I keep a lookout for your silver but haven't seen it yet.
We should get together before the BBQ. That's not until june and the weathers been great lately...

Crosswound, deslok...ok I'm back from florida. I saw more 8's in Orlando in 5 days then I have ever saw up here.
What are you guys up to this weekend. Cross I know you are working, but maybe we can meet up when you get out. It's suppose to be in the 60's both days, and 6 is not late.
PM me if you want to meet up. Same Deslok.

Hi,
I am from Brighton (Boston). About to buy my RX-8. I am looking at several dealerships that I had in mind. I visted them and picked the cars that I liked. Do you guys know anything about Mazda 128? I did not like people there, but the car selection seemed to be okay.
Thank you.
