Keep me posted on these meets. I'd be willing to make the trip from Newport News (maybe I can bring Rotary Nut) if you continue to have the meets. I also need more details on where you guys meet. Thanx.

Hey Elara.....I'm your a-hole guy with the O2BINIT tag.....I may be a jerk but I'm no a-hole. As you can imagine I was in a foul mood after being stuck in that massive back-up on 95 last Thursday morning so I took the soft shoulder for my escape glimpsing you as I went by. Had a good laugh Sunday night when I visited my otherwise friendly forum and saw your posting....as a new member, I hope to meet you guys at the next Short Pump mall meeting.

Ack, don't I feel like a jerk. And yeah, I know how fed up you were because I'd been sitting in it for 1/2 an hour when you pulled up. Did you see me when you stopped next to us? I kept trying to wave at you, but I guess you were pretty annoyed at that point. I think I was more annoyed that I couldn't get your attention than I was that you were on the shoulder.
Your car was gorgeous, btw. Black just looks so sleek on the car. Mine was covered in so much salt and dirt it looked like I had white streaks. Sorry for being grumpy. Hope you didn't get stuck in it AGAIN on Saturday- took us THREE hours to get to Fredericksburg that afternoon.

Wow, I am glad you two kissed and made up! Now we can all show of our 8's at the next meet. The weather is looking ify for the weekend but, if we don't meet in the mall we will definalty change the venue. Worse comes to worse we will just have it at my place. Plenty of parking, and and plenty of space for the whole group. I will post when when I know whats up.

Thanks for the welcome guys.....at least, Elara, you got me to finally join the forum. I had been an occasional observer before.....I noticed the dirty look (of the car) and thought you were probably from out of state on a long haul up 95. I was back on 95 on Saturday but this time was heading south and saw that backup on the northside.

I got snowed on in Niagara Falls last week, and the salt and other gunk they put on the roads caked itself on on the 10-hour drive back. Hence the out-of-state look. I washed/zainoed her Thursday afternoon at my inlaws, so she looks much better now 
Dzzynlv- would we all FIT in the Starbucks at Innsbrook? Though it would look REALLY neat to have a bunch of 8s sitting there together.

Well to tell you guys, we already got kicked out of the Starbucks at Insbrook. Also the one at Willow Lawn. We have been all around Richmond, you have to understand we have 20 plus cars every time we meet. The reason we chose short pump is because we can't get sited for loitering inside an opean air mall...! So we have been meeting at the Starbucks there. We have been doing these meets since at least June. So, the venue has to be a place where we can keep useing and not get booted..

You kids are too young to remember, but in the old days we used to meet at Bills BBQ on W.Broad to show off our cars. (hmm, where is my disco ball?). I have to get into the office two hours early to get a semi protected spot for the red vroom vroom. So far two takers on the drive up in a rx8 get a free adjustment.

When we meet up a at the meet I will share a story that will keep you from parking next to other cars..

Oh, this weekend's wether is looking AWFULL. Ask you can see if you look outside.
The wax that Concours on West Broad uses is AMAZEING I had it waxed almost to weeks ago and it still shineing like it was just waxed.
I will give a heads up tommorow for the meet. Mabey we can all go get some grub if the weather is horrible.

Hmm, I think I will stay at home and slather another coat of zaino on the little red vroom vroom.
Maybe next week will allow us to go wild.
If you can talk others into tonight let me know I will try to make it.
